“I don’t know who the chef is but I can’t get enough of that egusi soup.”

I don’t know who the chef is but I can’t get enough of that egusi soup! I never actually went and ate at the restaurant but I always order and they deliver. I always get it not too spicy due to my heartburn. You get e nice portion of soup and the goat meat as well. Never been disappointed and will continue ordering from them!

“If you're craving authentic West African flavors in the city, Qaato's the spot.”

If you're craving authentic West African flavors in the city, Qaato's the spot. I grabbed the Egusi Soup with Goat Meat and Amala—rich, hearty, and packed with spice. The goat was tender, and the soup had that perfect balance of savory and spicy. Portions are generous, so it's well worth the $20. The vibe inside is warm and welcoming, and the staff makes you feel right at home. Definitely a go-to for anyone looking to enjoy real African cuisine in Chicago.

“I love this place, the staff, and the food.”

I love this place, the staff, and the food. I've come since 2019 on and off and I especially enjoy the egusi and the ayamase with goat. But unfortunately my body hasn't been tolerating meat anymore. I'd give this restaurant a 10 if I could. Best restaurant food I've had in general.

“I am am absolutely hooked on this place.”

I am am absolutely hooked on this place. I order from here at least once a week. I crave the Egusi soup constantly. The flavors are wonderful. I have tried my favorite dishes from other restaurants, but they don’t even come close to Qaato! I don’t think it gets better than this 😭 All my love to Qaato

“The best African food I had in Chicago.”

The best African food I had in Chicago! The fufu, the mixed meat, the Egussi sauce, the okra...all very nutritious, tasty, and simply delicious! Unfortunately, I was attending a meeting in Chicago just for a few days, and now, I am missing the great food from Qaato. Well, I will always think of this great place! Keep up the good work! Cheers!

I love love this place, I get their joliff rice dinners( goat, chicken and fish) all the time and it's absolutely perfect even when I get something extra to try for the first time it's good. Definitely enjoying the food there.

I don't know about the service when ordering in, but I got delivery and they added in a bunch of tripe to my order as I requested (knowing full well that was a reach). I'm a very happy customer, and the food was delicious.

While on vacation from Florida my husband and I decided to try this restaurant and I’m so happy we did. The food was very delicious and authentic. I had the Efforiro with fish and my husband had okra with fish. The wait time was about 45mins but it was worth it.
