The food experience here was immaculate, I mean the food was superb! I ordered the jerk chicken and my husband had the Beignet fish. The fish was definitely made with love very moist and flavorful. The chicken I’ve never had jerk chicken so crispy and tasty it was amazing. Let’s not talk about the rice AMAZING neither Ghana or Nigeria can debate about this rice it’s undefeated. I def. Need the recipe I will definitely be coming back and letting my friends know of this beautiful place. You can definitely tell it’s not only food your eating but a taste of culture and getting to acknowledge the art of the food. Not just anyone can make this but it takes an Artist to cook like this! ❤️ I’m very thankful for the experience I had medaase!

We were invited by a friend from Congo. I was tired and really didn’t want to go but didn’t want to disappoint them. WOW… I would’ve missed out on some of the best food I’ve had at any restaurant in years. So flavorful. Bold seasoning made every dish exquisite. The owner was very nice and attentive and the atmosphere was pleasant. I haven’t had goat stew in a while and every spoonful took me home. I’m from Puerto Rico and our food is very similar… Well of course, we do have African ancestry and it’s mostly noticeable in our cuisine.

First time trying!! Amazing customer service and conversation with P! Thank you! BIG compliments to the chef!! The food was so delicious and tender. Thank you for giving us suggestions and letting us know what’s good on the menu. Definitely coming back for some more!! They have checkers, chess, connect four(our fav) to play while waiting for food. Great atmosphere feel to the restaurant from outside to inside. Seating was very comfy. Bathrooms were clean. If you have not tried this restaurant, you really should!! It’s worth the drive. Family owned restaurant. The BEST Forgot to take pictures but next time I will.

So glad I found this. The food was great, love the steak skewers. The dinner and desert was freshly prepared and made to order. Try the plantains also! Can’t wait to try the peanut chicken next time. The atmosphere, decor, and great owners make it all the more enjoyable. Will be back again for sure!

Okapi Bistro over all was a VERY pleasant experience. From the Aroma and atmosphere to the food everything was fantastic. Not only did they make the food fresh the costumer service was spectacular. The food was perfectly seasoned and everything was delicious. Don’t walk, RUN to the one nearest to you.

Wow…this place is EXCELLENT! Tried the goat stew with rice then the sautéed mushrooms and onions and they were both fantastic. Finished off with peanut and caramel beignets and they were delicious as well. I would expect a place of this quality and excellent service to be packed – if you haven’t been here yet you’re missing out!

Wow! Okapi Bistro has become my new favorite restaurant. After my third time ordering pickup, I can safely say – I should literally have a standing order every Friday night! Their entrees and appetizers are delicious, so full of flavor, and cooked to perfection. It’s like coming home every time I gobble down a samoussa and beignet. Not to mention, the staff are warm and inviting and have handled all my last minute order additions (cause you’re going to want to keep adding things to your order) with grace and kindness. If you have not yet tried Okapi Bistro, you definitely need to check it out ASAP!
