Alebi African Cuisine - Surrey, British Columbia

Very welcoming customer service. It was my first time trying this cuisine, I asked for a recommendation and tried the beef jollof rice with plantain and salad. I also asked for a side of fufu, just to try. All the food tastes excellent and I will be back. I did ... find the beef to be a little overcooked though. Read more

Ordered group special for 6 for $98.99 through Uber eats, it came with 2 of these containers, mostly rice. It literally can’t feed 6 people. So basically $60 per container after tax and tips. This is unacceptable! P.S. this pic was taken after, doesn’t reflect the actual food, but ... still, the portion is so small, it is false advertising, it’s not enough even for 3 Read more

I have been an advocate for this place long as I can remember. No matter what anyone said I also drove traffic there. But on Saturday April 27, 2023 I had one of the worse experiences. I ordered the egusi with all the meats only to have the biggest chunks ... of one of the nastiest meats with no chicken in site, one small piece of beef. Whichever chef made the food that day, especially the egusi please please don’t put whatever organ you put in there. I don’t mind heart, liver or kidney but this type of was horrifying. I kid you not I feel that it was a pig organ not even beef. I don’t mind paying even $40 for a dish but the quality is more important to me. I also ordered the pepper soup and the amount was too little for $20 and very grainy. I hope someone takes this seriously because I would hate to have my people who visit Vancouver to elsewhere and your rating decrease from more people due to the lack of quality. Read more

We've been eating at Alebi ever since we moved to Surrey and it's fantastic. My partner is Nigerian and I am Canadian and I've always loved good, authentic Nigerian food since she introduced it to me. After moving from Toronto, it was harder to find Nigerian food but we stumbled ... across Alebi and instantly were hooked. Today I had Jollof rice and Chicken, with plantain, yam fries and fried gizzard. It was outstanding! My partner had okra and pounded yam and loved it as well! Whether you are Nigerian and looking for a taste of home, or from any other culture but want to try something new that you won't regret, Alebi is the way to go! Thanks to Alebi and everyone who works there. You're always so helpful and polite, the food and service is amazing! Read more

5 stars for the exceptional service. Our server gave us great recommendations and explained dishes thoroughly. Taste was great. Prices were very fair. Only took off a star because the chicken seemed to be old. Overall, be sure to support this local business!
