“Very simple and very nice place. Has a good music and good service. I told the sir in the front it was my first time trying the food and he help me to figure out what to order. I tried a ginger juice, tasty but too strong -im not used to it haha. The food was excellent i asked for fufu with peanut butter chicken. If you want to try something different its a nice option :)“

“This was my first time trying Nigerian food, so I don’t have much to compare it to, but overall, it was a pretty solid experience! I ordered the pounded yam with cassava leaf and beef. Initially, I wanted fufu, but the cashier recommended starting with the yam, which turned out to be a great suggestion.

At first glance, there were just three cubes of beef, but when broken apart, it was a generous amount of meat. The flavor was absolutely delicious! While the beef was slightly dry and the sauce a bit oily on their own, mixing everything together created a perfect balance. The pounded yam offset the dryness of the beef and brought the whole dish together beautifully. It’s amazing how the flavors and textures blend in your mouth, creating a satisfying meal.

I’ll definitely be returning to explore more items on the menu! I do think the price is reasonable $25 (with a drink) for what you are getting.

Also the restaurant was very clean.“
