The customer service was awful, the lady at the front had an attitude towards all the customers, besides the Asian customers.

She seemed irritated that I was requesting for plantain, given it was gonna take a while, but when I asked if I could actually have it with my meal, she got really frustrated with me, and I quote, she told me “it seems you are not understanding my English”

Oh and this was my second time there, the first time I went, I ordered goat meat, and it was all cartilage and chewy fat, ALL the pieces, I came back this time to give it a second chance, and this time I had to deal with the attitude and snappy personality at the front.

I never ever ever ever leave reviews, I am pretty gracious with people as well, so believe me when I share a review. The service and the food was awful— and I am an African myself so this is without bias.

This is very very first time experiencing a Nigerian food for me. I was watching an African guy making his country food in Japan on YouTube And in Japan there is similar food like Fufu .It's called Mochi. so I paid attention. But I don't know real Fufu tastes like ! So next day I searched restaurant that serves Fufu and I came here !
I ordered Egusi mixed meat with Fufu . So, I don't even know what's good or bad or how it should be . To me, this is totally brand new experience and taste to me was great 👍 Especially, this Fufu with Egusi ? Man .This is something else ! It's bit similar to Mochi but not that sticky or chewy. So no one won't chokes up on eating like Mochi . It's perfect . It looks like not fills you up by just looking at picture but don't be deceived . It's totally fills you up and lip smacking tastyyy !!
I think this place is a couple running this joint and the front guy was very nice and I had little chat with a lady chef and She was very very nice . Overall , I had a good happy dinner meal time at here .
I think key to have good time with Fufu is after you rip it off from a chunk you flatten Fufu with your fingers a little bit and make it sorta looks like a spoon and scoop what ever you are eating with. The mixture with Fufu and food item that you've ordered mixed in your pallet and gives the very unique flavor !!
I really liked it. And next time I'll try another things from the menu with Fufu !
It's a ...really undescribable. But all I can say is Fufu itself is just a Fufu. But when it combined with other in your mouth it's addictive feeling . 😂👍
Thank you for wonderful meal . I'll be back again !

She is the rudest person born. She advertised Fishermans soup, then when asked if it looks like the picture she told the customer that some items were too expensive. Then take down the pictures. She then spoke a local African slangs. Then lied she was Nigerian. Then went on to say I don't have time for this rubbish. Customer service is terrible. I might just get the food to continue with the review. But speaking with her on the phone..She is not well cultured.

Poor Taste, that’s not how Nigerian food tastes

My son and I went there twice in one week! Yes! We thought the food was absolutely exquisite and just the perfect amount of savory. Their meat pie was also delicious. As a matter of fact, my son and I will be going there again today. 😃 Not only was the food amazing but the customer service was definitely up to par as well.

I was in town from Massachusetts where we have a healthy Nigerian community and good Nigerian food available. I took a chance ordering from this place and was not disappointed! The food was delicious! Another friend who’s been in the US for just over a year now said this is the best Nigerian food they’ve had since being here. The white soup/Naala was amazing! Efo Riro/vegetable soup was delicious and the jollof was fine.

I was so impressed by the food I went in person the day I was flying out to get more to bring home. It was that delicious! The cook was sweet and accommodating.
