Voila Afrique

Voila Afrique brings the vibrant flavors of Africa, the Caribbean, and Latin America to Hackensack, New Jersey, nestled inside the Giant Farmers Market at 324 Main Street. This beloved restaurant celebrates the rich culinary traditions traced through generations of migration, resilience, and cultural fusion — from West African jollof and pounded yam with egusi to Caribbean oxtails, Southern gumbo, Ethiopian njera, and Latin empanadas. The see-through kitchen whirs with activity as chefs craft each dish to order, ensuring freshness in every bite. Diners rave about the perfectly seasoned jollof rice, the silky egusi soup with fresh fish, and the hearty fufu that stretches taffy-like beside rich palm oil greens. The restaurant proudly offers extensive dietary accommodations including plant-based, vegan, vegetarian, keto, halal, and gluten-free options. Beyond the dining room, Voila Afrique has built a reputation for exceptional catering, having served distinguished clients including Google, PayPal, Goldman Sachs, the African Union, and celebrities like Queen Latifah and Burna Boy. Open Monday through Saturday from 9 AM to 8 PM, this Hackensack gem draws food lovers from as far as Brooklyn and Philadelphia seeking authentic African soul food with a modern twist.
