Ordered beef with a side of goat as an extra, and specifically asked for yam on the side. Instead, they sent chicken (neither beef nor goat) and fufu instead of yam. The entire order was completely flipped — nothing I ordered arrived correctly.
This wasn’t a minor mistake; it was a total mix-up. The food itself might be decent when it’s right, but getting the wrong proteins and wrong starch after paying for specific items is unacceptable. No one should have to chase down the right meal after it’s already delivered.
Very disappointed and won’t be ordering again until they improve accuracy.

I ordered oxtail with jollof rover cabbage ,and efo riro and amala. Omg it's the best African food I have had in so long. I have tried different restaurants but nothing compare to this. It reminds me of home so much
The customer service was also very professional,the man that attended to was very polite and nice.
Overall I had a good experience coming here, I will definitely be back soon.

I ordered from here on Uber Eats. I ordered Suya and it was hard and dry. The Jollof rice smelled burnt. I opened the box and the smell of burnt food was overpowering. The beef with the Jollof rice was not very tender. The vegetable stew was okay, but extremely oily.

I visited this restaurant Sunday afternoon on 3/15. From the moment I called to place my order, the gentleman very nice, helpful, and pleasant. As I was ordering, he made sure to tell me the price of each item to eliminate any confusion. I ordered the jollof with chichen, fried rice with goat meat, egusi soup with goat meat and garri, plaintains and suya. Everything was good and flavorful, especially the egusi soup. My family loved the dishes. I will definitely return and recommend this restaurant to others. Also, everything was fresh and hot. My order was ready in less than 30 min. It took me an additional 30min to get home and my food was still hot. Sunday dinner was great!

The food is decent and for that I give 2 stars immediately. But their pricing and service is very flawed. Many times, I have ordered online and paid for extra fish only to not recieve the extra portion. Some times they give you a very small serving of egusi soup and other times you get a decent amount for the money you pay. I have decided to just make it at home now and save money. Very skimp with portions and dont ever pay for any type of extra meat for online order. A simple meal from this place when ordering online is esaily $33+ but not enough food to fulfill your hunger. More so hold you over until dinner.

From the moment I took my first bite, I knew I had stumbled onto something special. Where has this place been all my life! We ordered the Ofada, Jollof rice with efo riro, paired with tender goat meat and perfectly seasoned beef, plus a side of puff puff and plantains.

The flavors were bold, layered, and deeply comforting — the kind of seasoning that tells you someone in that kitchen is cooking with intention and pride. The meat was fall‑apart tender, the spices were balanced beautifully, and every dish tasted like it had been prepared just for me. Even the puff puff and plantains had that perfect texture that’s hard to find unless someone truly knows what they’re doing.

The portions were generous without feeling overwhelming, and every plate felt like a warm, satisfying embrace. It’s been a long time since a Nigerian restaurant has impressed me on this level. My family and I didn’t just enjoy the meal — we savored it. We talked about it the whole ride home.

This wasn’t just dinner. It was an experience. And one I’ll be returning for again and again

I was hesitant on going to this place based off the reviews, but I decided to go anyway, and I tried the egusi with FuFu. Hands down the best I’ve had!! Just went back yesterday for seconds

Words cannot begin to describe how good the food here was. Before coming, I was a little doubtful since I’ve had my fair share of African dishes recently and was very hesitant. A friend of mine recommended this place to me, and I decided to try it out. I was met with great customer service and didn’t have to wait long at all. The food was hot and fresh. Eating here reminded me of the food back home. If you are looking for authentic African dishes, this restaurant is the place for you.

The food here is always fresh, hot, and ready. It’s filled with spice and is very flavorful. I’ve become a regular here, and each time, it doesn’t disappoint. I highly recommend it.

I cannot even begin to describe how amazing the food here was. I ordered the amala with gbegiri and ewedu, and it was very flavorful and appetizing. It had a good portion size. The service was excellent the man who attended to me was very nice and kept me entertained while my food was being prepared.

Overall, there is a very good atmosphere. The moment I walked in, I knew the food was going to be amazing. I highly recommend this place to everyone who enjoys African dishes.

However, I will say that if you don’t have any experience eating African food, you might not appreciate it as much there’s no way to enjoy a dish you’ve never tried before. Some of you don’t understand how much time and effort is put into making this food.

I rate this restaurant a 5/5. I strongly reccomend.

This place is DISGUSTING!!!!! I usually don’t leave bad reviews but DO NOT eat here. I got the jollof, chicken and puff puff. The jollof smelled burnt and fishy. I couldn’t even include a picture because I put it in the trash so fast. It was stinking up my house. And the puff puff, well the picture is included. The puff puff would have been good if it wasn’t all burnt up. I heard them microwave my food. I don’t even think they have a kitchen back there. I can’t believe they would even serve a plate like that. People used to take pride in their food. Luckily I was able to get a refund. I would never eat here again.
