At El-Shaddai we pride ourselves in serving up the most Authentic West African Food Experience in Sydney and Melbourne.
A TASTE OF WEST AFRICA!
From iconic Jollof and sizzling BBQ Suya to Soul-Warming Ogbono, Egusi, Moi Moi, and comforting Acheke β our menu celebrates the rich, diverse flavours of West Africa.
No shortcuts. Our Jollof is slow-cooked for flavour, and the fish? Seasoned to perfection. One plate, endless satisfaction.

Service was super quick and food was okay, Jolif rice with lamb was the real highlight. Diane Christiansen2025-03-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My Husband and I went late this afternoon! We enjoyed our meals immensely. I had the chicken and meat stew and he had a plate of bbq lamb. We have not had this type of cuisine before and weβre not disappointed! The staff were very helpful and friendly.

Great options for meat lovers as well as vegeterians. Great music and banter from Collin and his team. You guys are amazing at making everyone feel welcome. π It doesn't feel like just a restaurant when you come in it has that homely feeling .Well done guys.

Great serving, fresh and always tasty! All is well2025-02-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I HAD my inlaws coming in from abroad. I have been here before, and on this occasion, the restaurant has really blown me away. Its somwhat normal to see great eatries drop standard especially post making a name for themselves, but African Calabash seem to rather be improving on their already high culinary and aesthetic standards, and I was impressed. Not only is the food good and hygienic, but it is also delicious with that homegrown feel. This is the only restaurant where I feel completely at home in Australia. I eat everything to the bones. Back to my inlaws. I taught of nowhere to take them but the AFRICAN CALABASH. My mother inlaw does not eat outside and she has super high standard for foods cooked not by her, , but she had went 360 and ordered for more from the African Calabash. This place actually looks better than the last time .kudos Elijah Faavae2025-02-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Great service and food is delicious though I don't know much about African food but worth it for the price and portion
