Our Story

Three Venues.
One Soulful Experience.

Olatee African Cafe & Lounge is unique to The Woodlands and Spring, Texas. Founded by husband-and-wife restaurateurs Olasunkanmi and Temitayo Thanni-Wright, our roots trace back to Ibadan, Nigeria — where Temitayo's culinary journey began.

We operate 3 venues under one roof — a Victoria Island Lounge, a Cosmopolitan Bar, and a Full-Service Dining room — so every visit feels different. Family dinners, date nights, corporate lunches, and late-night gatherings all have a home here.

What Our Guests Say

"The Efo Riro here is the closest thing I've had to my mom's cooking in Lagos. Authentic flavors, generous portions, and the warmest service. I drive 45 minutes every weekend just for this."

"Olatee catered my daughter's wedding reception. 200 guests, massive spread of Jollof rice, Egusi, Suya, and more. Everything was hot, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. People are STILL talking about the food."

MJ
Margaret J.

"As someone who's never tried African food before, I was nervous. The staff walked me through the whole menu with zero pressure. I ended up with the Ogbono soup and fried plantain. Absolutely incredible."
