My Mom and I walked in and was greeted with a smile and a warm welcome to have a seat. I heard that this restaurant had the best kind of Grilled fish (tilapia or drum). We ordered the drum and cow foot pepper soup. Everything came with plantain on the side which was my bonus cause I LOVE plantain. We ordered it to go.

Omggggg I just had this place for the first time lastnight and it was amazing the fish was cooked perfectly, suya was amazing, and the EGUSI ???? The best egusi I've ever had. I wont lie the service was slow but I will say if you have ever eaten at an African restaurant in Africa it is very common that the service may be on the slower side of things. They make up for it with their flavors! Order to-go if you don't wanna experience that . But man this food was really good with great flavors. I will definitely be back. It's owned by a Cameroonian family and you can tell by the flavors in the food they know what they are doing.

This whole in the wall restaurant is pretty unassuming in its strip center but the food dances on your taste buds. The jollof rice was spicy and flavorful although the chicken was a bit on the dry side. The drum fish was huge with a great seasoning that was both spicy and citrusy. The fufu with chicken and vegetables was the highlight of the meal. I will legitimately dream about that meal.

This is my first time eating at Marie's African flavors. Recently I have felt under the weather and have been craving some Caribbean comfort food but Houston doesn't offer the best Caribbean food and I didn't feel well enough to cook it myself. That being said, the next best cuisine is Nigerian food. The flavors and all the peppers they use help to make you feel better. I should have ordered some goat meat pepper soup but I already had some. I'm just sure the pepper soup is tasty here. I ordered the jollof rice with chicken and beef. I love the authentic way in which they cook their meat. They tastes very very nice with the delicious and flavorful jollof. Yes, the jollof was very nice and spicy. I'm pleased there is not a lot of oil. I also received fried sweet plantain with my order and they were yummy. Not overcooked or undercooked. Just right!
