What Our Clients Say

Testimonials

I brought a group of friends from out of town to Mendem Grill n Bar for a taste of authentic Cameroonian cuisine, and they were blown away. The Soya (grilled beef skewers) was perfectly spiced and incredibly tender, and the Puff-Puff was light and delicious. It was more than just a meal; it was a cultural experience. Thank you for showcasing the best of our food!

Fatoumata Camara

As someone who is passionate about our culinary heritage, I am so impressed with Mendem Grill n Bar. They are truly honoring the traditional recipes passed down through generations. The Poisson Braisé was grilled to perfection, and the use of fresh, local ingredients was evident in every bite. This is now my go-to spot for an authentic and delicious meal.

Chikezie Okoro

From the moment I walked into Mendem Grill n Bar, the aroma of grilled fish and spices reminded me of my grandmother’s kitchen. The Ndolè with prawns was rich and flavorful, a true taste of home. The staff were so welcoming, and the music created a wonderfully vibrant atmosphere. I will definitely be back with my family!
