My husband brought home two meals from this restaurant, the first was goat with plaintain, jolloff rice and some kind of vegetable , the second order was some type of fish maybe tuna . The food was absolutely delicious, this was the first goat meal I ever tried that I truly enjoyed. My husband is Nigerian and he said this made him really miss back home .

Authentic spot with Nigerian cuisine. Came here for dinner on a Wednesday evening around 7pm and there seemed to be a steady inflow of customers, but never a line. The food is pre-prepared. Delivery/takeout is available. There's a private parking lot in front as well as street parking. Credit cards are accepted. They don't have tap water so you'll need to buy bottled water. I got the jollof rice combo with chicken (your choice of soft or hard meat, which I wasn't able to clarify since only soft meat was available at that time). The worker helping me asked if I wanted some sauce in the rice, and I think that was a good call otherwise the rice would've been too dry. The combo came with two pieces of chicken. The food was a bit old but I still enjoyed the rice with stew mixed in.

I have lived in the Long Beach area for over 30 years but only heard about this restaurant chain a couple of months ago so I visited the Long Beach location twice already. it was good food. I will not sit in or bring my family or friend for a "sit- in" dinner here because the sitting set up is just not inviting but at least the service people here in Long Beach are nice., at least the one there when I visited, Yesterday 12/27/23, at about 3:30p I was in Inglewood area and I decided to visit the Inglewood Location "WHAT A BIG MISTAKE" As soon as i entered, I knew what I was in for as I was listening to how the server was talking to the person ahead of me. "NOT VERY WELCOMING" I could have walked out and leave but I had ordered my food ahead and was only there to pick up my order. When it was my turn to be attended to, the server's face, body language and what came out of her mouth seems as if she does not want to be there, the APP messaged me that my order was ready but it was not ready then as I was asking question about my pick, she had an attitude, she answered my question as if I was committing a crime being there, After I picked up the food, the Chicken leg was not well done, there's still blood inside it, the back was dry, the egusi tasted like cold palm oil, I couldn't eat it. As i said earlier about the setup in the Long Beach location, the set-up here in Inglewood is even worse, not presentable. the sitting area is not inviting. No one is sitting and I doubt if anyone will sit in here, (Why have a space for sit-in when you don't make it presentable to actually be inviting to people"??. I happen to go into the Bathroom as I was waiting to pick up my food, the Bathroom is poorly maintained. it's hard to think that whoever started this restaurant chain will not think about making it to be of a respectable standard. very disappointing. (I guess they will say that they are getting some 4-5 stars review?) I cannot even imagine, HOW!! May I also mention that, it is not in the Nigerian Culture to have food sitting there. No other reputable African restaurant I have been to have this set-up. the fried rice and fish sitting there looks so dry, the egusi that I bought tasted like cold palm oil , I mentioned earlier that my chicken was dry and the inside not well done, still has visible blood. overall experience was just disappointing, I hardly write reviews but I hope that this will serve as a way to improve the condition and help the Business.

I really just love this restaurant. The egusi be poppin soooooo hard ! Fresh hot and just so filled with melon seed and just delicious. This restaurant made me fall in love with Egusi and chicken with pounded yam. Yeah .... The women that serve the food have an attitude most of the time but I just don't say much to them. I get my food and I BOUNCE! Will be eating in today tho
Very friendly atmosphere….food was fresh and delicious….Bitter leaves soup was the best..

This is my first time having this cuisine, and it was delightful. They educated me on all the food that I asked about, and even tailored a dish for me. I recommend the Esugi with a pinch of spice.

Horrible EVERYTHING! Called this spot at 8:20 pm. The woman stated that they only take walk ins at this time. Only a mile away, I drove over. It's only then that she tells me the menu is EXTREMELY limited. Only Jollof and 2 meats, no goat and no egusi. I asked if they maybe had a little of something left. I was willing to pay because this was my first Nigerian food experience. Her real was "we close at 9. We only have rice." I left. BUT I went back the next day. 2:00 pm. The young man convinced me to get the mixed meat and Jollof. Again, no excusing and no goat. I went with the recommendation. HORRIBLE! A plate full of rice, bone and grizzle! One small piece of beef and fatty cow knew and poorly cooked tripe. The sauce was flavorful. The rice wasn't the best in LA. The plantain was plantain. Go somewhere else for authentic Nigerian food. HORRIBLE
Love love it! Great customer service!
