Really good food for very reasonable prices. Tried the moin-moin (delicious), the goat meat pepper soup (oh, so spicy, but quite good) and the spicy red sauce with fried croaker (also very good). The place is a hole in the wall, so like other reviewers, would probably take the food out. See my pictures for menu items and hours of operation. Definitely will come back for more!

I am writing this as I polish off a huge bowl of Wazobia's goat pepper soup. I'm in my sweats and trying to decide if I should lick the bowl or not. Just kidding about licking the bowl. Kinda. But seriously, there is nothing better on a rainy day at the end of a long week than some good food from Wazobia. FOOD: The food here is simply FABULOUS. So far, I have had the jollof rice, goat pepper soup, egusi, red spicy sauce, plaintains, and fried fish. Every single item has been cooked and seasoned to perfection. I live a good half hour away, so I have to pay cab fare to and from on top of the restaurant's (reasonable) food prices. It is totally worth it for the consistently superb, tasty food this place serves up. Nothing makes me crankier than paying good money for bad food, so Wazobia's consistently delicious fare really, really makes me happy. If you like spicy food, their goat pepper soup is to die for. If you like mild, yet very flavorful items then I recommend the jollof rice with plaintains. SERVICE: The only thing more generous than their portions is their spirit. The restaurant's owners and servers are such nice, friendly people. They welcomed me, helped me order, and sent me off with a smile. THE DECOR: This is an ultra-authentic hole-in-the-wall, so it is best for take-out than it is for sit-down meals on the premises. I am ordinarily into the ambience of a place, but I cannot hold it against the owners of Wazobia that they do not appear to have much money. The space is small and cluttered, so I always get my food to go. If you are a decor snob, then go elsewhere. This restaurant's emphasis is on the food and the kindness they show. Maybe if we all do our part to support this fledgling business, the owners will make enough money to move somewhere bigger and nicer. PARTING WORDS: Remember to bring cash because this spot is cash only. I do not see any information on Yelp about the hours, so I will share that the spot closes at 9pm on weekdays.

I came to Philly for a meeting and wanted African food. The was the only place that came up on my search The place is junkie inside and the display cabinet is dark and full of supplies. I arrived at 1 pm for lunch. The menu had many selections but everything I chose was not available except the croaker fish with plantains. The Nigerian Lady was nice but the place is in a rundown area which I would not trust at night.

The Loft District just gets better with time. Every morsel of food I consume and every spirit I imbibe seems to induce a psychedelic high that leaves me on cloud nine. Wazobia is no exception. This place serves up some serious West African cuisine and is worth whatever journey you have to take to get there. Tonight, I ordered the croaker fish plate with rice and savored every single bite. The fish was pan fried in a tomato sauce and had good texture. Each bite contained a symphony of flavors that danced on my tongue and delighted my palate. I am also big on hospitality and the friendly staff definitely won me over. It's a no-brainer; I'll be back.
