A couple of friends and I went for the buffet at lunch recently. Highlights included jollof rice, beef, and samosas. Those working were very sweet and helpful with explanations of everything offered. I believe it was about $30/person.Dietary restrictions: I’m lactose intolerant and everything I saw seemed dairy free. You could probably also get some rice dishes without meat.Parking: Limited parking but worth it to find and eat

Really friendly service when we came in, helpful explanations of food, we decided to go for the buffet at lunch to try many things as it was our first time. We all thought the jollof rice was amazing, I loved the marinated beef as well with it. The samosas and puff puffs were the cherry on top with a perfectly crunchy outside and flavorful inside and full of spice on the inside. Would love to come back again.

Offers a complete West African menu. A full flavored presentation ready to challenge any other cuisine around. Great spot for a cozy time with a friends. Also, the owner can be identified by their brilliantly welcoming smile.

As a first timer terrible experience. This is one of the only places that has suya so I decided to try it out. I attempted to call to place my order & ask some clarifying questions but no one answered so I went to order in person. However, upon arrival a lady began to try & sell me a buffet box for $25 I told her exactly what I wanted but she continued to try & talk me into the buffet until she got annoyed with my questions. The other young lady steps in to assist only to have an even nastier attitude. I asked a question about the fish that she suggested but later told me she was out off & she proceeded to ask “have I not ever had Nigerian food” I responded of course I had but just hadn’t had this specific restaurant. Then she tells me to look on the website for specifics as if she couldn’t explain. 45 mins later I return to pick up my order, there was an elderly man that ordered spinach. When she rang him up it was $37 confused he asked for an explanation & told her that the other lady did not tell him the price and he was expecting to pay around $10 for spinach. I intervened & asked the lady to just prepare him a side of spinach she refused. So the man said that he wanted to cancel the order. Both ladies became very aggressive stating that he had to pay because they had already put it in a box for him. They even came from around the counter because he said he didn’t want it. The man was certainly in his late 70’s and truly did not understand. Not to mention my suya was over cooked and hard. Will not be returning.

First drink free, authentic West African Nigerian food!I traveled to west Africa one summer and will never forget the taste of true jollof rice! Most African spots cut corners to please their crowds that don’t care for much seasoning but this place stays true to their nature. If u have a taste for wonderful African food, you will be happy you came to this place! Beautiful ambience and down to earth staff

This place ROCKS. Lively music. Great food, some of it spicy but not Hot. The food is Very tasty. The service is spot on, cleaning away things and asking politely to bus the table. Good selection of entrees and other foods.Decor is exciting to experience and converse about. The neighborhood is peaceful and inspiring safety even after 10pm. Man, safer than my neighborhood where I live.Many Thanks for a GREAT time. 7-2023.

The food was good. Our server Chi was excellent! However the man that answered the phone was unprofessional and demanded we make a reservation to eat at the restaurant and when we arrived it was EMPTY. Then he demanded we place our orders over the phone rather than at the restaurant, but the food wasn't prepared until we arrived. Lastly, the prices online were not the same as in the restaurant. For three meals we surprisingly paid about $150. I do not think the food was worth this price and it was definitely lacking seasonings. So I will not return to this restaurant and will try other African restaurants and hope to have a much better experience.
