Man was very rude to me , but food was okay. Don't prefer food to be placed in microwave to be heated when you have hot wells to hold food. The heated table must Don't work properly ?.

Best pepper soup in town but the jollof is horrible. I’ve tried it on three different occasions and each time the rice was overcooked.

Order 50 dollars worth of food through uber eats, it was 2 hrs late to arrive, which isn’t on them but after it being 2 hours late u would expect all the food to be in the bag. One the communication was terrible when I called them 4 times to see what’s going on and so was the food. One of my dishes were egusi with pounded yam for the side… but ofc there’s no pounded yam in my bag. I’m not sure if they were busy or what but for 50 dollars and being 2 hrs late, I was expecting all of my food to at least be in the BAG! As well as for 50 dollars worth of food, you would think the portion sizes would be a normal dinner plater. But what me and my bf receive kid sized portions and soggy rice. Very dissatisfied and never again will I order from here!

Food is just nasty. Please listen to the reviews. Save your money. Ordered the cassava leaf soup and it was barely any cassava leaf in it. Just oil and spice. Cassava leaf soup is supposed to be green. They gave me this red oily mess. Pepper soup was thicker than I am used to. Poorly made.This food doesn't deserve one single star.

The taste of the food has improved.However, I went two days in a row, just to see if the food would change and it's description. What do I mean by this? First off I've been to numerous ethnic restaurants, that serve goat meat. Everyone from Indian, Jamaican, actually all West Indies, and other Nigerian, restaurants in Randallstown, including Senegalese on York Road.The portion size in this restaurant in comparison to what it cost? Is absolutely ridiculous. I ordered GOAT this past weekend, and I got two big bones with a tiny portion of meat attached to each one, and that was that. Their jollof rice, the vegetable and plantain was as it should be. So the following day, I went back, and I advised them that I got mostly Bone in my meal. Only to be snickered at by the elderly woman, and a gentleman who was picking up food stating , "goat has a lot of bones." All of which I understand clearly because I fix my own goat meat at home, as well as buy a lot of it at other restaurants. However, these other restaurants insure that you get meat, alongside those bones. Essentially what I purchased? Was a vegetarian meal with meat gravy and bones, without the meat.So the next day, I went back and tried to deal with them again (*I must note, that over 7 years ago, when I first tried this food, the jollof rice was much more spicy, however, the meat was much tougher.).So the following day, I got the jollof rice again, only this time I got it with the Beef. Which was the same day, the elderly lady snickered at me with the customer. She stated "Beef doesn't have so many bones. (Of which I know fully), so try that."I went with her recommendation. However, this time, there were two very tiny pieces of beef inside of this food, of which I paid $14 for! The beef that was inside of there was no more than 2" x 2" per piece. I truly believe, that this restaurant, though has been operating here in America for years, is still moving off of what they would get back in the motherland. That doesn't work here in America. For $14? I should've had NO LESS, than four pieces of those little tiny pieces of meat.Then, if we double back to the day before, with the Bones? This restaurant is definitely not worth the money that it charges for what I paid for! Because the GOAT, cost me $16 and some change when it was only worth approximately $10. If you go out Randallstown to the Nigerian restaurants over there off of liberty Road, just Google them, you will see that their portions are massive, and are absolutely worth the price that they charge for them. Or,, go to the Senegalese restaurant on York Road, and their food is absolutely worth every single penny that they charge. The service, atmosphere, ambience, and patronism is absolutely spectacular there. This restaurant? I don't know how they survive, they must have a loyal African following. That is used to such very tiny tiny portions of meat. They give you a lot of rice, and a lot of plantain, but virtually no meat for what they charging for. I hate to give them one star, but they truly, and absolutely deserve one star for that food. I will post pictures of the food, as today is Monday, October 24, 2023, and I still have yet to eat the food. Because I'm actually sick, over paying that money, and getting virtually nothing for it.I truly would like other African-Americans to patronize our African brothers and sisters restaurants, however, I'm not being spoiled, or entitled, when I tell you, you cannot serve a person a bunch of bones, and expect that to be OK. You cannot charge people 16/$14 for food, and virtually getting no meat. If I was a vegetarian? That might be OK. However, I'm a meat eater, and there are definitely other restaurants that will put this one to shame when it comes to the true taste of African/Nigerian/Senegalese food. Because they don't even make their food spicy the way it supposed to be any longer!**I actually still have the two big bones in the other dish as well. I will attempt to upload that on another post

I travel far to come here. The Egusi was oily the last time I went, so make sure you ask them to remove the oil. Otherwise, I love this spot.

Hours of operation needs to be updated here. So disappointed, I drove long distances and only to get there and restaurant closed. This restaurant is not opened at 12pm. Sign on the door says, 6pm-10pm Thursday-Sunday!
