“Very nice food.. I definitely would recommend anyone here like the food is well seasoned and the presentation is very nice… But just that the hours taken to wait for the food is too long 45min to an hour you’ll still be waiting which is the only issue but I’ll still rate it a 5star”
— Oghenekparobo Ogbor“SA Cafe/ Restaurant as I mentioned numerous times is a great place to dine or pick up a take out order. I've sat inside a few times and the atmosphere is very pleasant. While driving. I spotted a huge advertisement for SA Cafe/Restaurant flashing on a billboard above Church Lane in Upper Darby right before Baltimore Pike/Avenue. That's when I figured out I'd have that soup they allowed me to sample. I asked the waitress the name of the soup and she said it's called Okra Soup and it comes with________. Lol. I cant remember the name of this fluffy white side. But she showed me how to eat it and I must say it accompanies the soup extremely well. The soup is a little spicy so this side helps it blend. Once again SA Cafe has satisfied my tastebuds. This restaurant is within two minutes of 69th Street Terminal in Upper Darby right outside of Philadelphia.”
— Carmelita W.“Wings and fries - so awesome. Go check out for yourself My daughter loves her food too. Kid friendly big screen with educative program for kids. Per request though Completely satisfied”
— Beauty Has a Face“If you want some authentic Nigerian food then SA CAFE and Lounge is a spot to try! The okra soup is DELICIOUS!! I sampled the jollof rice and the egusis soup that my friends ordered. It is all good. There is cow foot, cow stomach, and goat meat added to the soups. They do not cook any pork. Aunty took a picture with us! She has on the pink shirt. Aunty is the BEST!! She will make sure that you are taken good care of while dining at SA CAFE and Lounge. Please give them a try!!!
