This is like my 3rd review for this venture and they never fail to amaze me... By far the cleanest and most organized african store Ive been to. Their prices are very within budget and food service is always freshly made. A+++

A better version of SW Farmers, for the N side.Clean, compact, friendly.

The slim tall dark complx guy at the cashier always over bill me whenever i purchase items at this store,i have complained severally to the management, but he keeps doing it. Folks check your receipt after purchase from this store so you dont get over charged..and i guess he needs to be fired if he has been doing that to other customers, i will call it stealing.

Im highly disappointed in you!Why would you sell a mixture of oil and palm oil as non cholesterol palm oil. The quantity of oil was higher than the palm oil in it.This is totally deceptive.Your employees this days are untruthful to customers which would affect your business. They are in there for money and tips. Stop the idea of inflating the price of commodity without your boss consent and the act of scanning/checking out customers items before they do while trying to quickly grab an additional items. Someone needs to go, yall need to audit your cashiers.

Favorite place to shop, one of my favorite aunts owns this place & 10/10 service for all ur african food items, as well as delish food hot & freshly served ! 🤍

Neat store, items are on the high side.

They pretty much got everything african. Plus their staff is very cordial and respectful. Overall, youll love their service

My wife loves their chalk. #portharcourt #penzi

Wide variety of African goods. Caribbean too but couldn’t find an item I went for the second time. Only went twice and want disappointed

Great place for a tasty and hassle free lunch, dinner

G & J AFRICAN MARKET IS A BEST PLACE TO GO TO

I absolutely love G & J African Market. Ive been coming here for hot food and groceries for 5 years now. The staff and cooking crew are always polite and informative. Its like going to see family. The food is always fresh. Stop by, you wont be disappointed.

Great place to find authentic goods, products, and foods.

Always a pleasant to shop here when you miss home. Just be careful not to go in before an important event or date. You will come out smelling like food because they are cooking inside and sorry but a perfume wont get rid of it. But other than all good

Very cooperative staff

My husband and I visited the store for the 1st time this week. He normally picks up hot food and supplies from the market south of town, but I was told G&J was closer so we gave it a try. For supplies, we will continue to patronize. We were curious about the hot food so we bought a variety to try, the fried fish was amazing!!! and the beans we decent as well, however the moi moi, jollof rice, vegetable soap and meat pie were not!

Only been here twice, first time was good experience although it was pricey because I left with 2 grocery bags worth of stuff but paid over $220. But I didnt mind to be honest because the man at the register and the meat area gave awesome customer service.2nd time was very bad. I attempted to order cooked fish priced at 1.50 per slice. I started pointing to the ones I wanted. It was almost closing time and I would be the last customers buying the made fish. I pointed to 4 fishes for the server to bag but then changed my mind and asked the server to switch one of the fish selected for a different one. He got irritated and said I had to buy the fish as selected and that he wouldnt switch it because its not allowed to select your own fish. I asked for the manager, he said no, because the manager would tell me the same thing. I asked for the manager again, he refused. Another worker walked by and I stopped her and asked her to get the manager. The owner of the shop walked out almost immediately once informed. I tried to explain the issue but she interrupted me and said no they cannot do that. She went further to explain that if I picked all the good fish then no one would buy the other parts of the fish. I went back and forth trying to explain to her that since she priced them 1.50 each i should be able to pick which i wanted. Safe to say she didnt understand that concept. It was a heated arguement and customers shouldnt be forced to buy what they dont want.Ill not be going back here.

They have a lot of African foods, across many Nigerian tribes and countries. The stores is very clean. They also have cooked food. I give them 5 stars.

I can always find what I need. And the prices not bad. FYI. At this time, the yam is at 2.79.. some other marts are 3.99

Besides Makola, this store has more of a selection than any other African store I’ve been in. The food is great and the prices are very reasonable.

Great place! Such variety!

Smells horrible here

Best jollof rice, good prices. I just wish the cashiers are more friendly and smile more

Absolutely recommend this store. It is well maintained, and super clean! You have to call ahead to reserve your puff puff, because those tasty balls of fried heaven go quick! The Jamaican beef patties are always hot and perfectly seasoned. And if you really want to treat yourself go ahead and order a pan of jollof rice, Ghana or Nigeria- She does both!There’s material in the front, and a butcher in the back if you want fresh meat. It’s safe to say. They do it all, and they do it exceptionally well!

It’s a great place to shop and the food is good. I tried the grilled salmon and it was really good. Their prices are good.

Nice store. Good food and quality products

Very nice smiling faces, good customer service especially the young man selling the cooked food. We live off Veterans Memorial. My Nigerian husband loves this place.

G & J is where all your African food stuff are met. It is soooooo fantastic, their catering dept so amazing with high tasty foods of numerous choices. I love this place!I encourage you, go and see for yourself. A trial will convince you

Couteous staff . Hands on from owners and mgt. A place i ll continue to shop for my African supplies. Recommended!!!

Great customer service and good selection

All kinds of African foods, spices, fabrics, goat meat etc, can be bought here.There is also a kitchen where you can buy cooked african foods like jollof rice, vegetable soup etc.

Basic enough... and thats about it. Very basic, the things you need at regular prices and as always rude African employees. A stigma that hunts African shops all over the world. Thats why when good service is seen in an African store e.g WAZOBIA. Its celebrated from the rooftops. Good location and parking but can be better. Starting with a smile...

Good place to buy African foods.

Nice experience

The best place North of Downtown to get any West African food supplies.They have great hours and now have a great selection of fabrics and other non food items.Great softdrink selection and usually will have a surprising amount of fresh greens available.Four stars due occasional interaction with cashiers which can leave a shopper perplexed. This usually involves when a shopper asks the price of an item. Some of the young ladies who work the register respond to the question as a personal affront which leaves this shopper quite bemused.

Excellent store

As a Nigerian that takes pride in his motherland’s dishes, the dried grounded Egusi they sell in this store is a disgrace. After preparing it for my family the egusi tasted like soap and it left a weird after taste to the palate. I don’t know what you call that but that is not egusi. I won’t be spending good money at this place anymore whenever I come to Houston.Fix your inventory people and get that thing you call egusi off the shelves.

Its a good place. I go there twice a week. Friendly staff. However, if you have a menu, but you never have an item that you put down on the menu, simply take that selection off the menu. I like okra soup, but they never have okra soup. Every time I try an order okra soup, they make me feel as though, Im committing a crime! I would rate them higher simply by having okra soup!

I saw the owner of the business in the kitchen. I smiled at her and said hello, she neither smiled or returned my greetings. I have been going to this shop for years. I remember their humble beginning. My advice is that they dont let fame or their improved status make them forget or ignore all the customers that helped them get to where they are now.

Great selection

Good selections of hot food and dry Africangoods

Pricing is fair. They prepare and serve food also. It was tasty. Not a big selection of produce but they have good variety on other items. The last row was kind of cluttered but the rest of the store looks ok. Parking is decent.

I love this place 😍😍😍

I love Black owned businesses! We purchase our black soap and beautiful African print fabrics from this store.

BEST JOLLOF RICE HANDS DOWN!!! For it to be an African store, they have a Great customer service .. Thank me later!

One of the best if not the best african food stores. Roomy, allow you to move around easily. Labelling product with prices is an area that could improve

Great place to SHOP, good customers service. Good GOOD food. The ladies know how to cook.

They had exactly what I needed. The lady at the register was really nice to me. I will definitely be a returning customer.

Shoping & Groceries:G&J is probably the largest African store on the north side of Houston. They have a wide selection of items that you expect to find in most African supermarkets. The store is somewhat clean compared to other African stores and doesnt have the smell you associate with African stores.Catering Service:Decent prices but very terrible with delivering orders in a timely manner. If you have to order here, give yourself 2-3 hours of wiggle room because they will more than likely be late with your order. I have tried to give them the benefit of doubt but they have consistently failed.

Love there fried fish,good african food

Good fried rice.

Nice people, good, really good products here I couldnt even find in the Sw side. It also seems like theres a mini restaurant here. Really recommend!

They are the only African store in the area. Things are really pricey in comparison to NYC where I usually get my African product. The ladies seem to have a bad attitude but I have learned its a cultural barrier. Their face may say Im angry but that doesnt always mean that. They are from Ghana and also have prints you can buy by the yard. The back of the store is kinda messy but no one seems to mind. I like them but if there was another African store near it wouldnt take much to have a better aesthetic and better prices.

Have been going for years and Im a satisfied customer. Reason for 4 stars is I only wish they can open earlier and close later to accommodate long shift workers.

I give it a four. Music playing friendly people. They have a variety of spices in bulk at great prices. Seeking Lindt they got it. Beautiful smoked turkey wings, goat, Fish.. Meals prepared as take-out and more...They Accept Major credit cards ($10 minimum) EBT. (No minimum)The atmosphere says Motherland.Braided hair and dreads. Colored material. Im thinking add some incense,Oils, candles and loose herbs for the curious at heart or well being.Theres room for growth!Come check it out. Dont be surprised if this Shopping Mall lands two Afro-centric shops by the African Market!I enjoyed it!

Wonderful place to get the best african food stuff in Houston. This place have made not to miss home...... I got everything I needed for bitter leaf soup👍

Delicious food

G&J Market; I find that I have a African experience every time I go.The people (workers)are very cordial and welcoming and helpful. I rank G&J above the better strip markets!!!!!

Love this store and the cooked food is awesome too.....Thank you Ladies!!❤👏👍🙏🔥

Great store to acquire Africa grocery or food items at a reasonable price. The workers are always friendly and happy especially BJ. He always take my order

👌 Awesome

The best African market in Houston and the management and staff are great.....

The guy behind the restaurant part serving had great customer service but the lady behind the register NEEDS AN ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT!!!

They have the best stewed spinach and spicy suya!

Very friendly fast clean environment definitely will recommend for any one who take customer service serious

Employees are very friendly!

Great Africa store. You get pretty much everything you need.

Good market

Very friendly. The smell in store is pleasant. Plenty of stuff and fresh foods.

Good food if u are interested in nigerian food but the suya was subpar.

I love being able to go get ingredients myself and the cashier was very helpful my baby was hungry and we were able to buy cooked fresh meat pies and goat meat it was really awesome.

This is the best place to have African grocery. I enjoy their draw soups.

Nice place to shop

Not too bad, does not have that smell that most african stores has, i was already covering my nose on getting there all to my surprise that that wasnt needed.

Nice place for shopping

Good store for Nigerian food ingredients. They even have periwinkles!!!

Good African food and affordable prices.

Very Clean and very knowledgeable staff. I had questions about recipes and cooking certain meat and they were very helpful.

Nice employees

Nice African store compared to the south West farmers market in Houston. Staff are more friendly and it’s neat.

A bit expensive, but they always have what im looking for

Great food and service.Im new in Houston and are living G & J services for sure.Rasheed.

God bless our home land Ghaaaanaa! Love this store, has everything you need to make some bangin Jolloff! #GhanaJolloffisLife

The owners are friendly, the staff are polite, and they sell deliciously cooked African food too.

The people there are always so kind and patient with you!

I love G & J African market, it make it easier to be an African living in America, they have everything you could think of, that is where I buy all my meats, goat, chicken, beef and sometimes tripe, though I can get tripe at HEB.

Lot of African produce and food to buy. It looks like home.

You see, kókóró kékeré kan ló ba eyín ajã won jé. Why dont they pick calls? I needed to place an order hitherto my arrival to the store, but they didnt pick up! 😲

The best place to do. Your shopping

One of the best place to shop for African food items

Dont u get the odour of your stinky store?

A good place for shopping an African food

For a market that sells things you supposed to eat, it was very dirty... no one greet or acknowledge your presence...

G&J African Market is a nice place where u can get any kind of African food name it! They have everything

One stop shopping.... great place.

Fantastic place to shop some African goodies at affordable prices

I tried to obtain prices for some products this company sells and the employee that assisted me told me she could not give me prices at the time. I then told her to send me the prices for her products via e-mail and she informed me that the company had no e-mail or website, later to find out and find the web page online. I am very upset and disappointed with the service from this company!!!

Good selection and reasonable prices. It saves me from having to go to the southwest side of Houston to get items for my African dishes.

Excellent choices and friendly service. The restaurant sells finger licking Nigerian food

The worst staff ive ever met.They can do better maintaining a clean environment also.
