Restaurant Marmite Africaine (RMA)

seriously THE BEST! lol to entitled white people in the comments expecting “service” like it is a fancy french restaurant. this is home cooked food from the heart and your taste buds will undoubtedly feel its authentic depths. also service was super fast during lunch!

Check out all the other reviews and you'll understand what's going on here. The food is really good but they will make you jump thru hoops to get it . It's almost as if they would rather you NOT order from them.

Not bad! My grandmother actually recommended this place to me and we went for dinner on a Wednesday night. The menu is kinda small. No desserts or alcoholic drinks. It's really just the main meal and a side dish. Everything is cheap, nothing is more than 25$ a plate. I decided to get the 1/4 chicken with fries and my grandmother got the chicken skewer with fries. We also added a side order of banana plantain for 5$. My chicken was seasoned in a way that I didn't feel the burn coming until after I was done eating. It snuck up on me and my eyes wouldn't stop watering even after I had finished eating. It was still very good. I was really impressed with their fries surprisingly! They were really crisp and fresh. The banana plantain was also delicious. I wish I had had more room to eat them. Portions are a bit big so if you're a light eater get a plate to share. The food took a long time to arrive so make sure to plan accordingly. Don't show up ravenous expecting your meal to get there in 10 minutes. It took about 35-40 minutes to arrive. At the end of the meal the waitress told us that next time we should order in advance and they will call us when it's ready and we can show up. Not a horrible solution. Service is nonexistent though. The waitress only came by twice. To take our order and then to serve us our order. When you're done you ring the bell at the cash register and they make you pay. At least she was nice. The restaurant itself is small but not crowded. They are all medium high chairs which isn't the most comfortable but manageable. Next time we plan on picking a table with chairs that aren't high (there's only one). They don't play any music so it can get quite quiet. We were there with 3 other parties but halfway through the meal we were done to one party and us. You could really feel the emptiness. No one else came to eat so it was just us till the end. It's worth a try if you're in the neighbourhood and feel like a little something different.

Just phoned in to see they made fufu and egusi soup. Just curious because sometimes restaurants don't advertise unpopular items. She was so rude about her answe and cut me off before I could ask another question. I have this saved as a place to never visit. I can only imagine how she handles customers food if she is not even aware of customer service. One star because she called back.

Love their food, especially the one named atiéké with the fish!

My wife recently immigrated from Kenya, we were walking by and decided to check it out. She was craving some home-food. We walked in, were treated so poorly. We were even scolded, as if we were a bother! We just had to laugh and walk out! Good story, bad service! But it did remind her of the grumpy aunties back home ?

Wahoo! This is one of my favorite places. This was one of the best chicken I've had grace my taste buds in a long time. The waiter was prompt and polite. Everything was just so yummy. I was happy to see how clean everything was. The whole team was very friendly. 5 stars!

Fantastic! I went in with my mum, who's a very picky eater due to her sensitive stomach. Both of our meals were delicious. This is now one of my go-to comfort places and I look forward to introducing my friends to this place. Service was a little slow but it was worth the wait
