It was . . . incredible. In the EGUSI, I've never had goat meat like this - better than any shredded beef could be; and their signature, NKATENKWAN, this "fufu" is wild stuff. All served with great service. We appreciate Joe (not me, Joe at Bukom) and his insight into this new-to-us cuisine.

The jollof rice tasted nice but the okra soup had really small meat inside, we had a takeaway and didn't discover this until we got home although, it still tasted so nice with the pounded yam.The atmosphere was really too loud for me and the wait time was just too long. It is run by 2-3 people (I guess) so I understand the wait time had to be long.It's by the road side and quite easy to locate. I'm an African but the sculpture looks kinda scary making it look like a shrine.Overall, the food is nice if you have the patience to wait.
This restaurant is the bomb. Everytime I visit it never misses. The food the peace during the day and the amazing vibes at night especially on weekends are the best. My favorite African Restaurant. The customer service is top tier.

This wasn't my first time eating from this location. But it was my first time ordering on UberEATS and the portion of the cassava leaf was not enough for the price I paid. I ordered 3 orders of fufu which was place in the black retanglur containers, just to receive a CUP SIZE portion of cassava leaf with two pieces of beef. That cup cost $20.And I asked for my food to be spicy and it wasn't a hint of spice?. I was so disappointed in this order...smh

The egusi soup and fufu were to die for. And the wings!!! Will definitely be back

The food was HORRIBLE!! My red snapper was hard & dry & jollof rice was cold. Run fast & customer service did not exist. I will NEVER go back!!

The vibe is nice for sure, very laid back but I can tell it gets packed at night especially when the music gets going. This was my first time having this type of food and honestly it exceeded my expectations. Everything was bursting with flavor. The portion size was big and enough to take some home.

Haven't been here in years. I remembered the peanut stew and chicken being good but not this good. They must have changed the recipe, it's

I think they can lower the prices a bit…I had a carry out order. Food 10/10. Egusi, jollof rice, plaintain was 6/10 pretty dry and could’ve been sweeter and softer…, fufu, cassava, suya all 10/10

Went with a group to celebrate. Most of the dishes came out cold. 3 of us ordered snapper but one was so tiny but was charged the same price as the larger snappers. Definitely not the same quality of food as before.
