I got the chicken shawarma. It’s like a wrap. The taste was really good.

Date: 01/19/25 We stayed in the Baltimore area and decided to try Nigerian food. It was a snowy Sunday, and we found this restaurant online. Eager to sample a variety of dishes, we ordered pounded yam with egusi, white rice with ofada stew, grilled peppered turkey, and ram suya. I specifically asked the young man taking our order if the suya I was looking at was ram, and he confirmed it was. Based on that, I ordered the ram suya and the grilled peppered turkey that looked appealing in their online advertisement.
When we got back to our hotel, the experience went downhill. The egusi soup was barely average. It came with one frozen, hard chicken lap, one small, unappealing piece of meat, and a flat piece of tripe. The soup had clearly been frozen and was only partially reheated—the top was warm, but it was still frozen underneath. Moving on to the white rice, the ofada stew was inedible. It contained two tiny, overcooked pieces of beef and a flat piece of tripe. It tasted stale, like it was from last week.
Next, we tried the "ram suya," which turned out to be undercooked, tough beef—not ram. The final straw was the grilled peppered turkey. Instead of the enticing small pieces we saw in the advertisement, we received a sad, unappetizing turkey wing. Like the other dishes, it wasn’t fresh and was completely inedible.
Frustrated, we called the restaurant to complain about the frozen soup and the tough beef passed off as ram. Initially, they asked us to drive back to the restaurant to exchange our order, but we explained that it wasn’t feasible due to the snow. The gentleman apologized and offered to send an Uber to collect the food, take it back to the restaurant, and return it to us. This suggestion was baffling—was he planning to reheat the food and send it back? Adding to my concerns, we had already eaten some of the soup. Given my low immune system and sensitive health, I’m now worried about potential contamination.
Ultimately, we trashed everything and went hungry for the night. While the gentleman did offer us a complimentary hibiscus drink for the delay, it’s hard to appreciate that when the food served was subpar and poorly prepared. Needless to say, we will not be returning.

The food here is not sufficient at all in comparison to the prices! The food is too small and it is a CRIMINAL OFFENSE! What Nigerian eats flavourless small food like this?? The food isnt flavourful or seasoned. DO BETTER! The Shawarma is a 10 and that is all!
So I ordered the grilled turkey and egusi soup and was disappointed by the portions considering the prices of the food. It was 12.99 for one turkey wing. If I knew it was just one wing, I wouldn’t have ordered. The egusi soup had water in it - more than the normal condensation, as if the soup wasn’t fried enough.
SAW THE OWNER’S RESPONSE - THEY DID NOT OFFER A REFUND!!! I’m not doing a chargeback bc I still took the food home (I was too far away to return to the store) but honestly to lie on offering a refund is wild.

When I came in there was no one behind the counter. A man then came in from outside the store and took my order. After I received my food he followed me outside of the store and started harassing me. It was very weird and I felt unsafe. Will not go here again.
10 over 10. This is just the place to be. The food is spot on and the customer service is excellent.

Had an awesome experience. This is perhaps the best Nigerian food I've tasted in decades. Cool vibes and great people. Warm atmosphere to catch cruise.
