I went there on Saturday 19th Oct. The Jollof Rice and Plantains were good, but The meat that was Given for my Money was Horrible. The Goat And Beef was Hard and The Goat had that Goat Scent.

If you are into delicious Nigerian homemade cultural dishes such as Egrisi stew, Flavorful Greens, Okra, Spicy chicken, Joliof rice, Yams, Plaintains and Fufu, then you are in the right place at Ruth Buka. Here you get a true taste of Nigerian culture and delicacies. Ruth Buka is a small comfortable local joint that serves TASTY Nigerian food. It is a popular corner neighborhood takeout restuarant, but there were also three- four tables to dine in.
