Maty's Cuisine - West African restaurant in Detroit - 21611 Grand River Ave, USA

Authentic African Senegalese food in the heart of Detroit. Their FISH (red snapper) is to DIE FOR, literally some of the best fish I have had in the world bc of the spices they use. The onion sauce that comes with side of entree is also phenomenal and will make any food taste amazing. Plus it’s all halal!

The food was good, the lamb shank, red snapper was very good! The atmosphere was so so. There was a smell from bathroom or sewer line that wasn't good. I would go again.

My first time eating African food and I loved everything I had. More so the waitress was awesome helping me and my friend who flew in from FL because he seen a video about them go viral. The hidden gem is the juice they make. The berry mint and ginger juice were easily my favorite. The chicken had so much flavor and was juicy. The portion sizes were very large and even being full I wanted to keep eating because it tasted so good. Loved the fried plantains & both appetizers. A hole in the wall place that packs some serious flavor! Great place! ********UPDATE******************* Went back with some friends from FL and service was even better if I could give 10stars I would. The owner was there as well so we got a picture and even tried a new juice they make.

My friend recommended this place and I also saw a review from an Instagram foodie that I follow. I ordered grilled red snapper and husband grilled half chicken. We are not disappointed!! They were great! The chicken was well seasoned and flavourful. Moist inside and charred outside. The fish also very flavorful. It was grilled to perfection. It comes with sides, and since the both of us craved plantain, we order them with our meal. Overall, you need to try them if you're in Detroit.

The food was so yummy. It had a little bit of spice but it was amazing. Reminded me of trips I would take to Dearborn and eat at different western African places! We ate so good! I look forward to coming back!

Food was delicious. Exactly what I was craving. We will definitely be back.

The red snapper is tangy and spicy.It’s a must try.The jollof rice is good too. When we visited they were out of lamb yassa , so we had to order chicken and I personally wouldn’t recommend it. Everything here is halal

The Cons: The parking sucks. The review: We went to Matys on a Sunday afternoon. There was no wait, and the owner came to our table to take our order. Our food took about 15 minutes to come and it smelled heavenly. We had the Egg rolls, Chicken Yassa & Red Snapper. The food was so flavorful and piping hot and fresh. The meala come with a side (we both had Jollof), and a side of sauteed onions in a zesty, delicious sauce. They give you a FREE bottle of water upon seating, which is nice because this food packs a little heat (spice) to it. Friendly atmosphere, good food. I hugged our waitress! I definitely recommend it.
