Reviews for Fannie's West African Cuisine in Kansas City, MO

We LOVED eating here! Portion size? 100% Taste 10000% Everything was 100%. Bummed that it’s hours away but so so worth the... drive. Will be dining here again when we drive through this part of town! Everyone was friendly to us, too!! Read more

So delicious!!! Went for lunch and though several items were not available, there was still plenty to choose from. The attieke... — fried mackerel — was crispy, as was the chicken. Really love how flavorful and seasoned everything was. The beef samosaswere huge. The crust was thin and perfectly fried, which paired so great with the umami beef filling. Be prepared for aleisurely meal, so set aside time. It’s not a place where you’ll be rushed out. Read more

The food here is worth the wait! I stop in frequently and never leave hungry. Love the jollof, kebab, mango cucumber salad, and... the various stews/soups. Amazing! Read more

I saw many reviews about this place being slow but food being amazing, and my sister and I had time to kill so we decided to go... for it. We were not disappointed! We got the fried rice with chicken and then the banku, I believe. We really wanted to try thepeanut butter soup and a couple other things but those are only served at dinner. Contrary to reviews, our food came out fairlyquickly. Possibly because we came at lunch when it was not busy? It was hot and delicious. The red sauce paired with it wasspicy; I absolutely loved it. The cucumber salad was very refreshing beside it and they each had their own different type ofdough. We had plenty for leftovers. It is a little pricy but with the amount of food and preparation I don’t mind. I wouldlove to come back! Read more

I go here for the vegetarian jollof rice all the time. It's always been bomb af. Its not spicy unless you use the sauce in the... plastic container. I also ventured out to these puff puffs which came with this spicy sauce. The combo together was delicious.Oh and unless you're eating there though, make sure you order ahead of time to avoid the wait. Read more

While the food is absolutely delicious, as noted in other reviews, the service is EXTREMELY slow. We got our appetizers within... 15 minutes, but our main entree did not arrive until an hour after we had ordered. Fortunately, the restaurant made anappropriate price adjustment to make up for the long wait. I otherwise loved the jollof rice, plantains, and peanut curry. Justbe warned to expect a long wait, even if you put in your order to go. Read more
