Really enjoyed my visit to I Love Fufu. The food was very tasty, fresh, and full of flavor, you can tell it’s made with care. The owner was also incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely a place I’d come back to.

My friends and I ate at I love FuFu last Wednesday night and it was AMAZING! It was the first time we had been there and our server was so helpful and knowledgeable about what to order, what things tasted like, spice levels. Everything was absolutely delicious! We will definitely be returning! This is Quad Cities GEM!!! Go! You won’t be disappointed!!! ✌️💕

Less than a month after returning from a trip to West Africa, I stumbled upon this place and had to try it. This is legit. The egusi with fufu was incredible and the dèguè was a perfect finisher.

The staff were super friendly and helpful in ordering (their protein suggestion was exactly what I didn't know I needed). 10/10 will come again!!
