Mama Put Restaurant - Fayetteville (GA)

5 /5 Sugrbox Chef Dolie of Dolie’s Vegan Cuisine Sugrbox: I honestly don’t understand any of these negative reviews. I guess you can say that I am a fairly newer customer. But I’ve been going to the restaurant faithfully now for the past several months. Each and every time I am greeted with a big smile!! The women behind the counter (there are two different ones) they smile and immediately make me feel like I am family. Most often when I come I get the egusi (prepared with no meat/dairy products as I’m vegan. Don’t judge me. This is my cheat meal.) it’s always absolutely delicious. If I ask to taste something they do so without hesitation. Very patient too I might add because sometimes it takes me time to decide what I want. I often call my son to show him what they have on the menu for the day. I am Haitian. And while Haitian cuisine is my favorite, I am no stranger to a plethora of different African cuisines. Mama Put always has me licking my fingers and elbows. This is why I’m so confused by some of these reviews. And when I say delicious, I mean I can’t even wait til I get home. The food is eaten completely in the car and I am wiping my mouth before I pull up to my home. And I live nearby!! The egusi is my favorite. But the spinach she makes me is omg too!! I have taken my very American friends and they loved it all too!! Food on point. Warm and welcoming environment. No issue when we dined there and asked for take out containers as another reviewer complained about. Very sweet. Very kind. And no one is paying me for this review. This is just my experience and I’m being truthful. If they tried to pay me though I’d take the food instead!! And they give a good amount of food. Not skimpy. I’m greedy and eat a lot!! Lol Thank you Mama Put for always making me feel like family when I come visit. Asé!!

5 /5 Rei: I try the pounded yam and egusi soup combo and the suya. It’s my first time trying this and it was incredible. The fufu and the egusi soup go so well together. Suya was also very well season and nice texture. Definitely a must try.

1 /5 G B: I’m sorry, the food was horrible. I ordered egusi and fufu with goat meat. The owner gave me a very small portion. The soup was so nasty. I didn’t finish it. The fufu still had powder spots from not being mixed well. I ordered jollof rice and chicken for my 9 y.o. The rice was only spicy. No flavor. The chicken was humongous with little flavor. My adult daughter ordered pepper soup. Everyone had finished eating the portion we were willing to eat and my daughter STILL hadn’t received her food. They gave her money back because we came to eat together. If you want to dine-in you have to pay an additional fee, just to eat there. I will never return to this place. I live in locust grove and was looking for African food closer to me. From now on, I will take the drive to Bamba or Ike‘s. I was very disappointed. What a waste of money.

5 /5 Jessica Estima: The ogbono, egusi, jollof rice, goat, cow, turkey, and the moimoi was good; the spice was perfect. Reminded me of home. The meat pie was dry. Service was quick. Jollof rice was a bit over priced for one meat. Maybe some plantain wouldve made it worth it. They have a market next door which I also liked.
