Alafia West African Cuisine Beninese Restaurant

Great service. Great food. Feels like home if I were from West Africa. I love the fact that I was offered healthier drink options than sodas. It’s just an all around family vibe.

My first time eating West African food. OMG! It was delicious. Fair prices large portions. Definitely try the ginger drink.

The Alafia restaurant is one of the few African restaurants in Tucson The restaurant serves West African style dishes The menu consist of rice, fish and goats thene dishes it appears the FuFu with EGUSI soup is the best seller. I enjoyed eating the goats soup which consist of tenderized lab that was not too spicy. I also bought tilapia fish with planting and at the Senegal tile JOLLOF rice I would suggest you plan your trip there as it could get pretty busy, but the service is excellent and the food is delicious, I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for African food in Tucson. I gave it a 4.7 star. Parking: parking is off street behind the building

The food was super delicious and super large portions. Goat soup had an addictive flavor that kept me coming back til the last drop. Tilapia and plantains were a pleasant surprise of sweetness from plantain and saltiness from the fish. Atmosphere was laid back and friendly. Made you feel like a neighbor dropping in for a meal. Customer service was great. Would go again!

I had goat soup and fufu. It was amazing. Love the decor and music. Highly recommend!

Food was absolutely delicious, a wonderful taste of authentic Benin cuisine. Everybody should try the fufu as it’s a staple. Unfortunately, the food did hurt my stomach afterwards, but that’s only because I have a weak stomach.

The food was very authentic and tasty, and the service was friendly. The restaurant was a little bit hard to find but well worth it.
