Reviews for Mama Shan's African and Soul Food Cuisine in Philadelphia, PA

I recommend a lot of different dishes from this restaurant. My favorite is the potato greens the fried red snapper curry chicken... and jerk chicken. I love their jollof rice and their fried rice is the best. Read more

Took my staff in there last week placed a takeout order and not only was all our orders wrong ,but when I called and asked to... speak to the owner I was told she didn't want to speak. The young lady at the counter was not only rude but she gave us what shewanted . We ended up throwing everything away and will never patronize this place again .What a waste of time place and moneystay away they suck Read more

Mama Shan?s is by far one of the hidden treasures of Philly African Cuisine!!! This food is AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS! Never once... dissatisfied! Read more

The food was delicious!!! I had potato greens and my daughter had Egusi, both with fufu. We?ve tried other places and they were... trash compared to this place. Especially the fufu, the texture from Mama Shan was way better that the other place and didn?tcost an arm and a leg. Ordered through DoorDash and the delivery was very fast considering the distance from my house. We willdefinitely order again ???????? Read more

I always wanted to try african food, since this place is not far from where I live and the reviews were mostly good, today I... decided to give this place a try. The customer service was very good from the man and young lady. The food was too darn good formy taste bubs.I have developed an addiction. I will be going back to try other dishes. This place had a line and the waitwasn't too long for what I ordered but it was definitely worth the wait. Read more

Can't beat the quality, price ratio here. No thrills but bold flavors, serious heat if you want it- while the stew and jallof... flavors are too good on their own. Great service and nice people here. I'll be back to try more plates for sure. Gotta comehungry af with these portion sizes, just be ready to nap after Read more

The curry and jerk chicken were quite good. Tender, not too dry, and packed with flavor. The jollof rice was a bit dry, wished... it was more saucy since it's tomato based, but flavor was still good. The mac n cheese was like childhood mac n cheese.Scrumptious. Read more

It was a great experience. I was greeted as soon as I walked in the door. She was very patient with me asking a lot of... questions. I ordered fried plantain and beef pie and she also gave me a little pasta to try. She brought my food out to mytable. Also she makes this sauce called shito that?s a homemade recipe from Ghana, it takes 7 hours just to prep. Highlyrecommended if you can handle the heat!!! Read more
