Dang...you better order the day before and you'll still have to wait. I placed a simple order...ok 25min. 30min later, I showed up late and my order still wasn't ready!! Apparently, they just started my spring rolls... asking me to wait 5 minutes??? I ended up waiting 10minutes-Daheck?? This food better be good! (NO it's not! This curry chicken is mediocre as heck. I prepare better myself. $13.50 for "stew" with no rice, no cutlery, didnt include my sauce for the spring rolls?? You see what I got for $19. Anemic! The experience sucked.) I set my standards low when mi a deal wit dem, and mi still have disappointments! If you don't go there, you won't be disappointed! ADDENDUM! All that oily spice with no rice or bread got me posted up on the commode when i should be working! It's as hot going out as it was going in!

5 Loaves African Restaurant truly offers some insight on the diversity that can be found in Central New Jersey. Within the general area of where Franklin Township and North Brunswick meet, you will find a vast selection of Indian cuisines that rivals almost any other state or region of the United States. Amongst these restaurants, along the Route 27 corridor, the 5 Loaves Restaurant does a great job at showcasing African cuisine. Almost hidden within the plaza itself, 5 Loaves African Restaurant is a great find and a great culinary exploration for your palate. Located on the south/westbound, Franklin side of Route 27, the establishment is very unassuming and requires a keen eye to be able to identify. The restaurant offers both dine-in and take-out options, while accepting cash and credit cards as forms of payment. The restaurant appears very humble and homely (British definition thereof) - just a restaurant that really welcomes you and your family. The staff was more than friendly, patient, and helpful to us as we figured out what we wanted to eat. Having very little previous experience with African cuisine (the last time we had African cuisine was in San Jose, California), the staff offered some small samples of their popular choices which ultimately helped us with our decision-making. The food was extremely flavorful and just bursting with all the spices used in its conception. We were offered a taste in the three distinguishable soups which were all good, but ultimately went with the spicy peanut-butter based soup (the spicy palmnut). This paired extremely well with side of white rice we ordered, along with the chicken, goat, and oxtail that were added to the soup, along with a unique serving of Fufu. Meanwhile, the staff were extremely friendly and customized a meal combo for our children which they gobbled up despite the rice and chicken having a spicy kick to it. Overall, 5 Loaves is a great dining choice that establishes itself as a stable of this area.
