This place seriously needs better customer service and a more reliable online ordering system. I placed an order online, drove 40 minutes in traffic to pick it up, and when I arrived, I was told they didn’t have three out of the four items I ordered. I don’t understand why the system allowed me to order items that were out of stock, or why I wasn’t notified before I made the trip.
There was no apology. Instead, they tried to offer me someone else’s order that had been sitting on the counter because that person never showed up. On top of that, the staff member helping me had an attitude, which made the situation even more frustrating considering they were the ones inconveniencing me.
I had to get a refund and then repurchase the one item they did have. Overall, the experience was disappointing and unprofessional.
Everyone was super nice and food was great quality! We went later in the day so we had fewer options but I did like all the food.

The fish was phenomenal! Ill forsure be back earlier before they sell out of their other options.
The rice had a burnt taste the chicken was good but the beef needs to more tenderized. Jolly rice was very hot 🔥 customers service needs to be a little more friendly and enact with their customers, more....to expensive for the quantity of the food....first and last time eating there .....the restaurant doesn't look anything like the in the phone

I just love the food. When I tell you nothing was left on that plate 😭 I mean nothing at all. I highly recommend. The best Egusi and Jollof rice you'll ever have. It's addicting. Top 5 foods i will forever recommend to people. Make sure you get there early because it can get busy.

Drove 3 hours to get fufu after 2 years and it did not disappoint !! The fufu and egusi soup is delicious with the perfect amount of spice. I had a jollof rice plate with beef & plantains as well & it was soo good!! 10/10
