“Perosnal experience at NAYOS:
I don't live in Chicago, but for Nayos African Cuisines, I am ready to travel that far just to have a taste of a good African dish. The food was tasty, well spiced. Serving portion, generous. He was not stingy with his delicious meal. Atmosphere was excellent. Service was very professional. Wait time was great. Price for the food, excellent. My wife and I had to stay one more day to enjoy Nayos again before heading back home. The only issue was parking. This is a general problem in Chicago, so, not Nayos fault. But it was easy for us to find parking around Nayos. Thank God!
I hope to visit Chicago again soon. One of the reasons for this visit would be to visit Nayos.“

Stuffed Plantain

“Everything that we got was amazing, no cap! The curry sauce on the polenta and prawns is crazy. The stuffed plantains were delicious. The star was the pineapple wings for appetizer, and the bread pudding for dessert. Literally chef’s kiss. The service was top tier too!“

“It’s about time Chicago gets solid West African cuisine. Dozzy didn’t disappoint. Had the Designer Jollof Rice Bowl and it was delicious. I combined it with a couple orders of the shrimp suya sticks which put it over the top. Now, I loved the jollof, but that’s to be expected. What wasn’t expected was the shrimp. I can honestly say it was some of the best I’ve ever had. The herbs were perfect and it was grilled just the way I like it. I’ve known Dozzy for a long time and I’m so happy he’s sharing his gift to the world. Y’all get some.“
