Our Menus

African Icons Restaurant's menu is a reflection on the traditions of African cuisine. Appetizers include fried plantains, Sawyer beef kebabs and specialty soups like the spicy goat pepper soup. Most of AI-Restaurant's entrées are served family-style and meant to be shared among the whole table. Some of the options include steamed tilapia, roasted croaker, ginger shrimp and more exotic offerings like the ndolle, a bitter leaf cooked Cameroon style with beef and served over rice.
