NB: I ordered from this restaurant in summer of 2023. As a Nigerian myself, I know what good Nigerian food should taste like, as this is the restaurant's main cuisine. I ordered the Amala, with Gbegiri and Ewedu soup, and I was so disappointed when I got home and dug into the meal. The soup was quite tasteless, and the Amala stale, so I did not for one bit enjoy the meal. I also ordered the Jollof rice and Fried rice, and in my opinion, I was better off making those at home myself.

The food quality good, but if not African, better figure what you'd like to eat before ordering. They help you pick what you want.

I ordered an order online at 8pm for delivery. My order was accepted and gave me a delivery driver and everything. After an hour of waiting, they cancelled my order!!! The restaurant closed at 9pm..very unprofessional.

If you're looking for something outside of the usual New England fare and want to try something different- this place is fantastic. If you like Caribbean food or Jamaican food you'll love this place. I will say the flavors here are better than most Jamaican places - all of the dishes were bursting with flavor. The dining room is small but the woman who owns it greeted us and served us and she was about as nice as could possibly be. She served us some kind of red meat that was stewed with lots of tendons and cartilage - one of my personal favorite parts of beef - it was so delicious my daughter told me not to eat it all. Will def be going back!
Recommended dishes: Fish, Okra Sauce with Pounded Yam

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!!!! Take my warning people. Do not waste your time, energy and money and patronize this place. It’s like they gave us spoiled food. Everything we bought was TERRIBLE!!!! The Jollof rice, Chicken, and Okra sauce Gumbo???. Me and my brother was in the mood to try African food for the first time and decided to stop here. NEVER AGAIN! I should have known the food was gonna be trash when we saw the condition of the place…old and run down!!! We could not even smell anything cooking. The kitchen was right beside the bathroom?!!! I didn’t even notice until I had already payed for the food! Nothing we got here was palatable! It all went in the trash!!! It stench was so bad WHAT A WASTE ??! You could smell and taste that they only used powder seasonings, Palm oil and tomato paste for everything. No onion, peppers, escallion, thyme, tomatoes etc… I AM SO PISSED!!! God Will Punish You For Giving Us Old Spoiled Food Tambo’s Kitchen. Worst First African Food Experience EVER!!! DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY PLEASE.

Lay-Dee-Jay B.’s Reviewsi dont even know where to begin. my dauther wanted to try fufu for the first time. so i thought why not. so i took her to tambos kitchen in avon. everything was so pricey. i literally spend almost $80 for 3 plates of food. i said to myself you know what, its not the money that counts i know this food must be bomb. i get home and open the plates to my suprise, those were literally $ dollar plates. and the experience for my dauther was snatched. her egusi sauslce had 3 pieces of beef. did i mention i spent almost $80 in this recession. the rice were still and the meat feel like i was eating gum. and to top it all off the state tax right now in november 2023 for massachusetts is 6.25%. they had the nerve to charge me 7%. can you imagine hearing all great things about african food and want to try it so bad and you get this. i only gave 1 star because theres no zero. but thanks alot i was better off going to popoyes for a quater of that price. but thats okay. i will definitely not let this ve a bad experience for all african food i will be trying the next ine if anyone has any good suggestion. I wish I had a chance to post pictures on this review

Food was child's size. It definitely not worth it for the price. Taste was just ok. Also I chose assorted meats and only got one type. Please stay away from this place and save your money.

I was looking for some good jollof and stew chicken that had the kick I needed and this hit the spot. My new fav place.
