i’m from Charlotte, NC and have found myself really craving some even pseudo-authentic african food. are there any ethiopian/eritrean or nigerian restaurants in the area?

Any chance you know what the hours/days are?

I don’t. You could call the store and ask. They are run by the same person.

Altenhof Inn just past Silver Dollar City.
The one place we did have here, “Bit of Bavaria”, closed down years ago. The building has vacant ever since. street view

We had one in that complex across from the Battlefield Mall on Glenstone for a while.

Cafe Roswitha, was in the space that now houses Farmers Gastropub. Had one of the worst meals of my life there. We sat and listened to the microwave going "ding ... ding" the whole time they were "preparing" our food.

Hmm. I had a very different experience there. When I ordered weinerschnitzel I could always here her back there flattening it out with a mallet. All the food I ordered there was always very good.

Yeah, we went based on recommendations from others who had better experiences. I don't recall the older woman being there the night we went. My impression was everything had been pre-made and refrigerated, then nuked before serving (even the bread had obviously just come from the microwave). That was shortly before it closed, so may have been on a downhill slide.

No, not really. There are some good Ethiopian restaurants in St. Louis and KC.

I haven’t seen any sign of any - my husband and I love trying different ethnic restaurants so I try to keep an eye out! I think you’d likely have to go to KC or STL for one.

The only thing remotely related to African is Mimi’s Soulfood 533 S Kimbrough 🤷♂️

Springfield if fairly limited and diversity starved... if you don't mind Chinese, try some cashew chicken. Springfield is the birthplace of this amazing dish.

If you simply Google African food Springfield, Mo it’ll bring up what options we have.

wow genius play i hadnt thought of here. you’re so smart.
sometimes it’s nice to ask real people and not a program. and Desiré (the aforementioned food truck) doesn’t pop up on google.
but thanks for your advice. never would’ve thought of that myself

There is actually a new food truck in front of Jum’s African store on E Kearney! I haven’t gotten to try it yet, but the owner told me about a month ago that she was opening it soon and I saw that they were at the Culture Festival a few weeks ago. She is Nigerian.
