This was such a gem to find! As a Nigerian in America it’s not easy to find authentic and delicious food here. Not only was the owner nice and hospitable, she was generous with the portions as well! Thank God i found this place and by the grace of God I can eat it again soon!

Modupe the women answering the phone is very rude and then raise her voice when I ask to order the meat well done . I was coming based on reviews but I’ll pass .

I ordered the half Efo and half Egusi with mixed fish, and wow, I enjoyed every bite! It reminded me so much of my grandmother's cooking—absolutely delicious! Finger-licking good, literally!

I came to this restaurant bc of the reviews! But my review says different. I'm American and enjoy African food. I just didn't enjoy this one much. First for almost $40 this what I got along with a side of white rice. Not much food and my order was wrong. After eating it my stomach became cramped. Won't be going back for sure. I had sooooo much better.

First time trying pounded yam. Came in there asking for banku which was unavailable but I didn’t leave disappointed. 100/10 recommend. Hot homemade Nigerian meal🫶🏾
