My first time at an African store. Managed to get everything i wanted. Staff was great and went out of their way to help. Ill definitely be back again. This time looking to shop a wider selection. Do you guys have a website where i can check out prices of some items before coming next time?

Excellent place to shop for your African ingredients, from spices to meat. Use to have to search all over to find goat meat, not anymore. I get all my herbs and spices to make my own seasoning. Great place for good healthy, NON-GMO food.

Bought a lot of things here that were very pricey which I didnt mind, but paying high price and the item not living up to par is a disappointment. I bought some dry ugwu leaves vegetables and theyre filled with sand despite countless and repeated washing and the ogbono was dry out flat and never rose at all. this is a huge disappointment because paying so much for nothing is undesirable

Man-Must –Wak is truly a five star business. Kay-Kay and her team are simply the best. We have been patrons of this business since its inception over 20 years ago, and all we can say is that we are amazed with our experience anytime we happened to stop by to purchase food items. We really like their creativity and other services they’ve included to attract more business and make their store a one stop shop for all your Afro-Caribbean food needs.If you are looking for an African or Afro-Caribbean food stuff; look no more. They got you!We also love the new catering services that is being offered. Simply put, their food takes you back home right down memory lane. We truly did make the right decision choosing this business for our one-stop destination shop for our African food needs. Our experience working with this business in the past 20yrs was nothing but superb experience. You guys should keep it up.We 100% recommend their business and services. Your business is a true success story of a small business. No wonder why you guys have lasted this long.

Basically this place is what you see is what you get. Its an African food store where you can buy African food stuff and ingredients. Somethings are a bit pricey in comparison to other african stores but they do have a larger selection of ingredients than some of the other stores. Worth it if you know what youre looking for.

Very small store. Painted bright yellow it looks like a corner liquor store. Many specialty items. Best to call before going if you are looking for something specific. I purchasd three items at a comparable price to my normal stores. They also had smoked turkey and catfish which I will try next time Im passing that area on my way home.

If you are not looking, you will definitely miss this place while walking down the street. its a tiny tiny place that fits about 4 seats with a small kitchen. apparently they have a narrow set of stairs that have more tables upstairs. Got takeout of the jerk chicken and Calypso shrimp. portions are huge, stuffed with a ton of rice. jerk chicken was flavorful over a sweet rice with beans. it was surprisingly addictive.be prepared to wait because its literally 1 guy cooking and serving.

This place is horrible they dont listen to costumers. I let them know that there was bugs in the beans and was ignored, like I said nothing. I will not be going back to either one of the stores. They both have bad products as far a beans and meat. I spoke with the bigger store manager and she told me the bugs are fine the agriculture sector would not allow them to be sold here in the United States if the bugs were harmful. I asked her would you eat bugs? and I had to leave. I was disgusted with her response. I Found two stores on E14 clean and well stocked.

Making traditional Nigerian dishes is easier than ever because of this market. You can find a very decent selection of african-caribbean goods between this and the neighboring market which sells similar goods.
