“I’m visiting NJ (lived here for a long time) and wanted to eat some of my favorite foods. I ordered dinner from port of peri peri and it was perfectly cooked but missing my fries. I let that be known to the restaurant and received a small refund. Next night, I ordered dinner again and I received a large order of fries on the house as well as a discount card for 5% for dine in orders valid for one more week. Amazing customer service. If I were in NJ longer, I would surely order again! The food is absolutely delicious 😋“

“Fatu’s kitchen did not disappoint! I had the potato greens with rice and my hubby had Jollof rice with chicken. The food was very tasty and hot. Our server was patient and polite and the restaurant was decent, and a lot bigger than how it looks from the outside.“

“The BEST african restaurant you will ever try.“

“Eatwell has been consistently awesome for many years now. Everything on their menu is spot on. The service and food presentation are equally great. And you can also order off UberEats as well.

Unlike some other places, they're always looking to improve their quality and service.“

“I recently visited Adidun for the first time while traveling from out of town, and while the food had great potential, there were a few key issues that took away from the experience.

We ordered a mix of traditional dishes: Abula (amala, gbegiri, ewedu, and stew), pounded yam with efo, and rice and stew with plantain. The flavors were rich, and we adults really enjoyed the spice, but the heat was overwhelming for my 9-year-old. Unfortunately, the rice and stew were way too spicy for her, and there were no milder options available. It would have been nice to see some variation in spice levels to accommodate different tastes, especially for kids.

One of the biggest disappointments was the owner's attitude. She was dismissive and rude, which made us feel unwelcome. Given that it was our first time visiting, we expected a bit more warmth, especially as we had traveled specifically to try this place.

There were also some issues with the restaurant setup. There was no running water in the sink by the door for washing hands, so we had to use bottled water, which was inconvenient. Additionally, while the flavors of the food were solid, some of the meats like ponmo and shaki were so tough that they were nearly impossible to eat.

In summary, the food had great flavor for those who enjoy spice, but the lack of customer service, tough meats, and the absence of milder options for kids were definite drawbacks. If you're a spice lover, Adidun has potential, but be prepared for some inconsistencies.“

“My order was quite enjoyable. I had some large fish that was topped with rice that had been seasoned and sauteed onions and peppers. Since I had never really had African food before, I ordered something that didn't really fit with my order, so I really appreciate that they phoned me. The ginger beverage was flavorful, zesty, and refreshing.“

“I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant.. A little spicy, but a good spice.. Our food was absolutely Delicious!!!! Great ambiance, music was good... Support Black Owned Businesses....“

“I’m a jamaican who loves African food dearly. I love the culture and food as a whole. A friend of mine recently switched jobs so I can no longer get the authenticity any more of the food. But i heard of this place from a friend and decided to try because i was craving saki with egusi and pounded yam. Food was absolutely amazing, just the right amount of spice in my book and the meat was very tender which i loved. You can tell they cleaned the meat very well as it had no smell to it. I can’t even express my enjoyment for the food. My only disappointment is that I ordered the saki, beef, and chicken and instead of getting the saki i got two pieces of meat. But other than that i had a good experience with this place. Also keep in mind i ordered this food from uber eats and the food took 40-50 minutes to get to me and the food was still amazing warm and hot. That’s a plus for me“

“Oml the food here is so delicious an so happy I found an African restaurant that has vegan options. The manager was a lovely lady and very knowledgeable and also helpful I will come back to this restaurant over and over again thank you guys again.“

“Staff polite, served your meal right at the table. The place was well lit, spacious and clean, same for the bathroom very clean.

Parking: Maybe on the inside streets you’d have better luck but on the main road it wasn’t very easy per se“
