Mama Meta's Canteen Llc - Champaign

The best taste of African food in Urbana-Champaign. Good customer service delivery. I totally recommend.

Cannot recommend enough. There is something about the food here that gives you that universal feeling of someone invited you over and their mom made you food. Regardless of cuisine and culture that's the kind of love put in food you can taste. Historically I didn't like fufu all that well but there was something different here that made it something I liked. The mayo poulet and samosas truly felt like the most comforting things I could have eaten to bring me back up on a dreary spring day. If you can catch their hours I strongly suggest you do so!

Great food in Champaign! It is a must that you eat here. The plantains, chicken, kabobs are very tasty! I will eat here again!

My sisters, our partners, and I gathered together and decided to order almost everything on the menu so we could share and sample a bit of each dish. This was a fantastic way to explore these new dishes. We particularly enjoyed the poulet mayo, ntaba, and fumbwa stew, and of course, you can't go wrong with fried plantains. The fufu was a delightful side that I had never tasted before, and I hope to try making it at home since I live out of town and can't just swing by for more. We will definitely return to this restaurant the next time we're in town.

You can really tell that the chef invests a lot of love and effort into the food! The quality and portion sizes are outstanding for the price. I could dine here every day and never grow tired of it!
