African Food in East Arlington

“Exceptional Jollof rice - highly recommend it”

“I drove one hour to eat T’s Buka. Safe to say I will be resting for a bit before I drive back. I ordered a plate of Jollof with Goat Meat. It was so good I could not stop myself from trying to finish it. Will definitely be back, thank you!”

“This was the best Egusi spot I’ve been to in the DFW area. Y’all should definitely come try it out.”

“Starting to become a regular at this point. I love the efo riro and fish!”

“If you’ve never tried African cuisine before, T’s Buka is the perfect place to start. The portions are generous, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff is happy to answer questions and make recommendations. It’s refreshing to find a restaurant that delivers both amazing food and exceptional service. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending T’s Buka to my friends and family. Easily one of the best hidden gems in Arlington. Five stars all the way! 👏”

“This was my first time visiting and the food left me impressed. I had the Ofada rice and ayamashe and that ayamashe is the best I’ve ever had. If you’re looking for that “party” taste? This is where it’s at! We also had the Abula and that was great as well. The meats were very tender and they had toothpicks readily available. The portions are a lot. I left there feeling full with enough for another meal! Great food, affordable prices!”

“I enjoy myself anytime I visit the restaurant. They have a solid good customer service and have variety of West African foods, prepared in a lovely environment and well serve to customers. The efo riro is superb, ewedu and gbegiri is fantastic and their solid foods are very okay. The jolly rice is on another level, the protein is very okay and there prices are very reasonable and affordable. I give them 10 over 10”

“T’s Buka is hands down one of the best places for authentic Nigerian food! The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The jollof rice was amazing, the portions were generous, and everything tasted homemade. The staff was welcoming, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. If you’re looking for authentic African cuisine with great service and a warm atmosphere, I highly recommend T’s Buka. I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“Great food and atmosphere, welcoming place to eat. So if you want authentic Nigerian food, this is the place!”

“delivered a truly satisfying meal. I ordered the panla fish in stew along with a piece of hake fish, and everything was done right. The panla was perfectly cooked—tender, flaky, and well seasoned. The stew was rich, savory, and deeply flavorful, the kind that tastes slow-cooked and intentional. The hake fish was also well prepared, cooked just right, and clean in flavor. Ordering the eba already prepared saves me time in the kitchen.”

“Great quick experience! When I entered, they were busy but serviced everyone so fast. Food was hot & soooo good. I got jollof rice with goat meat & plantain. I’ll definitely be back.”

“Very nice food really like the jolly rice and very smoky, love it tastes”

“Nice place to go eat African food.”

“I have asked from several of my friends around Dallas Metroplex to tell me the best African dish they trust. They recommended T's Buka and I visited the East Arkansas location in Arlington and I could not resist every bite of the food. Delicious, affordable and very welcoming people. I give them 5/5.”

“The food here is so good I come here all the time for the egusi and pounded yam”
