This was my first time coming to this location and very first time trying fufu . I had a great experience. The lady thst was there was very nice and kind. She had a smile and when she gave me my food(nice and hot) she explained to me how to eat egusi and fufu :-) My food was delicious and and I will be going there again. Thank you!

Service was great. Took our order right away and suggested we got a meat pie and I'm glad we did. There is outside eating tables but we decided to take it to go. The chicken in both meals was pretty good. The sauce on it is yummy. The rice on both was a bit bland for my taste. The fried rice has corn, green beans, carrots, and baby shrimps in it but does not have much flavor to it. Salt would have helped but we had none to add. The jollof rice has more flavor than the fried rice but also quite bland. I am very happy that she suggested the meat pie to us because it was the best thing we ate. The breading is kinda like a biscuit. Very thick and pretty dry. The filling is ground meat with amazing flavor. I probably will not go back again, but don't regret trying it.

I transport RVs across the country, so while coming through Boise with one I looked up Nigerian food near me and her food truck came up. I'm glad I did because the Egusi w/fufu was delicious! The flavor was everything! Her portions aren't overwhelming and priced perfectly for someone on the go and looking for a home cooked meal. She has out door seating which was perfect for me. Also plenty of parking. If I'm every coming through Boise again I will most definitely make this one of my stops along the way! Thank you!

Unfriendly and worst Nigerian food I’ve ever had.

I ended up getting the fufu and egusi and for starters the egusi was such a small portion for $10. The egusi didn't have much flavor and was mostly palm oil. Overall wasn't worth the price or getting food poisoning from it and throwing up the rest of the day. Don't recommend.

Love this place. The jollof rice with chicken is 10/10

Amazing nigerian food. It's not expensive and tastes just as good as any I've had. Service is incredible as well. You won't be disappointed.

I gave 2 stars for actually trying to open a Nigerian restuarant in Idaho, but a lot of work needs to be done on the meals, the fried rice was a fail, vegetable soup 1 of the plates was sour and others were watery, jollof rice was a 6 but still needs work, packing is a fail, you're the only Nigerian restuarant in Idaho make it worth it.

Yummy food at great prices! The owner and her husband are super sweet, and get your food out fast!

Oh boy. Really, really disappointed in this place.Me and a friend went here for lunch. Got Jollof Rice & Chicken, Pounded Yam with Egusi Soup, and Fried Plantains.Jollof is simply not worth the $10. It's a small container filled with rice, and a drumstick on top. Flavor was somewhere between Spanish rice and Tikka Masala, but not nearly as good as either. Chicken was cold, but cooked through, so it's definitely not fresh. The skin was gummy. Severely lacked in salt or any consistency other than soft.Pounded Yam was okay, don't expect much if you've never had it. Egusi soup was also just okay, under seasoned to hell, and half the portion of meat was literally just a big fat cap. Portion of pounded yam was twice as big as the soup.Fried plantains were the star. Super greasy, needed to sit on a wire rack for a bit. Seasoning was okay, slightly sweet and salty. No bite in the fried outer layer. Overall, it tasted good, and makes a tasty snack.The lady working the truck was not very friendly as other reviews have said. No real attempts to leave a positive customer service experience. She said the wait would be 10-15 minutes. We waited half an hour - a lady who ordered before us, with more food than us was served before us, you could tell she was a regular. Then she calls us up to the window and we have to give her our order again as she starts to bag it up. She thought we got the meat pies when we did not. Below average customer experience.All in all, unless you're from Nigeria and are just craving food from home, I would not recommend this place, and I will not be returning to try again. Leaving 2 stars as it was palatable, but far below average across the board.
