CHEFTEEKAY LLC - Irvington, New Jersey

This was my first time trying this restaurant, because it was so popular on TikTok and Instagram. The food looks very delicious photographed and in person. However, the jollof rice that I ordered tasted and smelled like it had been sitting in a burnt pan. The catfish, whiting, greens, and Mac and cheese was so salty that myself and my family couldn’t finish our meals. Thank god for the reasonable $10.99 price, because I ended up throwing the food in the trash. The people were nice, but I wouldn’t recommend to a friend.

I'm wondering why Chefteekay is not yet a house hold name in New Jersey!!! Goshhhhh These guys are beyond amazingggg! Their food; too good! Been scouting for a good Nigerian meal that hasn't compromised on taste and I'm delighted to have found one alas. I'm not one to do this but felt like I owed them the best reviews ever for such a great meal, outstanding service and generally remarkable experience. Thank you to the power twins!

I recently had the pleasure of having Chefteekay cater my daughter’s fourth birthday party at an indoor playground, and it was an absolute hit! We ordered a tray of jollof rice with peppered chicken, along with the jumbo finger foods pack, which included samosas, spring rolls, goat, wings, and puff puff (something like a Nigerian donut).

We had a diverse group of guests (Europeans, Caribbeans, Americans, Africans, etc.), and I was a bit nervous about how the food would be received but I knew I wanted ethnic food as a treat. Chefteekay truly exceeded my expectations! Everyone, without exception, raved about the food and asked where they could order it themselves. The dishes were flavorful, beautifully prepared, and there was something for everyone to enjoy.

The parents especially appreciated having more than just the typical kids’ party pizza, which was exactly what I was aiming for. Chefteekay, thank you for giving our esteemed guests a wonderful meal and for being so kind and gracious throughout the process. I can’t wait to use your services at least two more times this year. I truly hope your business continues to thrive for many years to come!

Terrible service. Looking wait times..no one knows what they're doing..all looked dried while working. False advertising on Uber eats with display food not matching what they offer u.. they're quick to close the lid b4 u notice and they won't remind u to get ur free soda with their so called ghetto selected combos. Go to nimas.. much better service

I just went here cause I seen it on TikTok and the food is actually good and I seen someone say the Mac is salty but it’s definitely not maybe they came on a wrong day but my whole family likes the food and they want to continue to order from here 👏🏽👏🏽!

I recently ordered from this establishment using Uber eats pick-up. I ordered at 12:52 and was told to pick it up at 1:52 (an entire hour). When it got close to the pickup time, they switched the pickup time to 2:22. When I pulled up to the restaurant, I received a notification that my food had been picked up.. Now I'm on high alert, because what?

I walk in to the restaurant and inquire about my order. The cashier asks what did my order consist of? In my mind... I'm wondering why she didn't just ask me the code or name? Anyway, I proceed to tell her. And she looks at me like I have seven heads. Then she just goes "ok" and continues to do what she was doing. About 5 minutes later, she tells me to sit while she prepares my order.... about 30 minutes later she comes out with some food. Mind you, I spent 93.00 on this order, so when I see how little food is coming out, I need answers. I ordered 4 portions of goat, come to find out they charge 8.00 per piece of goat. When I say piece, I mean a literal piece of bone with a bite of meat on it!! No sides, no rice, no vegetable just individual pieces of goat. She proceeds to tell me goat is expensive, I'm a caterer by day, I know how much goat is per lb. In no way did that justify 4 pieces of goat for 8.00 per piece (32.00)!
Apparently the handful of food I received was my entire 93.00 order. Flavor wise, the food was OK, customer service was horrible. You would think after waiting 2 hours to receive my order they could have thrown in something as a courtesy but no. She claims she added an extra bite of goat, so 5 pieces for 32.00, laughable. I also ordered 16.00 worth of Turkey wings. They cut the wing in half, and then each piece into 4. So I received 4 pieces of a single turkey wing, not including the drum. This establishment is ridiculous, avoid this place by all means. I think the positive reviews are from relatives, do not visit this restaurant. There are other authentic African restaurants with better food, better portions, and better customer service.

They provided food for my birthday event. The jollof was so smoky and delicious. And the small chops were so good. My guest totally enjoyed their food

Food was amazing. Employees attempted to pull my pants off in the bathroom and locked me inside.
