I ordered Grilled Red Snapper and this is what I received. I don't know f this is grilled or fried.I don't like to leave mediocre reviews, However I work very hard for my money to drive to the restaurant after a long day at work to be disappointed. Keep in mind people can go anywhere to spend their money. You guys have to do better!

1) My 4th and last time there
2) Staff overall very amateurish
3) No in restaurant menu to select from
4) Had to go with my phone online to find it. Reason given did not make sense
5) First time high prices ..meats were rubbery and not fully cooked to tender stage
6) Ordered meat pies chicken and beef after I got them and drove off to get a bite found all were dead cold...were not heated at all

Loved this place will definitely be back!!!!

I am Americanized Nigerian- some know what that means

Since I don't have immediate access to free Nigerian meals this place is a great substitute.

Everything that I ordered was good.

I probably won't order the okra stew anymore not enough okra for my liking but that's just a personal issue ‍.

Loved the ambiance and the service was great.

Ordered my food for 2pm and I think I only had to wait 20 minutes which is not bad compared to other African restaurants I have tried.

This place had a very good menu selection and high quality food. I appreciated all the flavors and the authenticity of each dish I tried.

Food was really good! It wasn't my first time trying African cuisine but it was my bf's first time and I'm glad I chose this place based on the reviews. He loved it and so did I. If you are sensitive to spicy foods I honestly wouldn't recommend because the two dishes I ordered were spicy. I had the Ghanaian jollaf rice and it was delicious and I will be back to try the Nigerian version. The stew fish was spicier than the sautéed fried fish. Both very enjoyable and the mashed beans were really good.

The service is horrible. I was served cold eba after waiting over 55mins. It was a terrible experience and the weekend ogbono was frozen without prior notice and the Jollof rice that was part of my order was missing and I got billed for it. I called back immediately I realised and the lady (Kay) tried to say i was lying about everything. It's the audacity for me. I drove 50mins to get food only to get this kind of service.

This is definitely my last time ordering or eating from here. I'm sure going to dispute this with my bank such a horrible experience

Olamide kitchen is a quaint new African restaurant in New Jersey. I have been hearing a lot of positive reviews on this place and decided to check it out. Upon arrival you are required to have a mask on. In addition you have to have your mask on at your table which is different but they are covid conscious.
Stephanie was our waiter and was super friendly and working really hard by herself ! She did an amazing job! I order meat pie and puff puff for small chops , meat pie was great puff puff they ran out. For entree I order waakye with turkey stew. This was above average! They didn't do it like traditional Ghanaians with the spaghetti and egg but the dish was pleasant. I also had the gizdodo and it was a great add on. The pepper soup could have been way more spicy hence the name. Overall thus Neal was delicious, I will 100% be back

Authentic African food, dodo gizzards were delicious. Rice had some kick to it. Small menu, priced very reasonably!!! If you are looking to try something different, this is the spot.

We're visiting from Florida and headed back from a theme park nearby. My husband is Nigerian and wanted some traditional food so we ventured to olaide's Kitchen. There was a little wait but I can say the food looked and smelled delicious. My husband was full while eating but continued eating because the food was so good. Needless to say I would revisit this place if in town again. Definitely better than some other places we had tried earlier in our trip.
