Wonderful experience. We had no idea what to order, so Modupe (the owner) surprised us. I only wish I could have eaten more! My daughter who can be picky was so happy with her shrimp and fries that she drew Modupe a picture. Highly recommend!!

⚠️❗THIS IS THE ONLY REVIEW YOU NEED❗I am from Maryland and came to New York on spring break, we decided to stay in New Jersey. We found this place and I'll be rating it over 101. Food ? Taste is 10/102. Neatness of the restaurant is 7/10 (And I only gave it 7 because it's in New Jersey)3. Customer service is top notch 10/10 (Very pleasant lady)4. Price - is 10/10 (Very pocket friendly) it should cost more for real!5. Location on the map is EASY!Ensure you come here to EAT! Cos I'll be back with my family again. My son hardly eats outside or out, especially Naija food. He finished his Àmàlà and Ewédú! I was to take my rice and ẹ̀fọ́ rírò away but ate it there, the fish! OMG!!!This is the type of business that needs HUGE funding! This is TASTY MEAL! Thank me LATER please after patronizing her!Parking: You will find FREE parking everywhere. About 4 cars can park in front of the restaurant directly on the street.Kid-friendliness: My son hardly eats out! He ate here! Comfortably and finshed his meal!Wheelchair accessibility: Of course, a wheelchair can be used here.

I wish I had the same experience as everyone else. I traveled from Linden to try it. The egusi soup was no good, and the chicken on both platers were not fresh at all. Only thing good between both dishes was the fufu itself, jolloff rice and the plantains.

The food was old and the meat was so dam hard. I traveled from one two to the next, and I was so excited about the food. They need to do better.

Have been hooked since the first time trying Egusi soup! It was full of flavor, and you get to choose two types of meat for your meal. I’ve also tried the Spinach soup, which is tasty as well. The fufu is soft and goes down easy. Definitely recommend this spot for anyone interested in trying Nigerian food packed with Flavor.

YOU HAVE TO COME HERE! I had an amazing experience at this restaurant!!! I ordered the fufu and jallof rice with spinach and plantain. Everything was prepared fresh and was hit and neatly packaged. The owner is also so kind and considerate. She made sure I was able to have a complete meal, as I do not consume meat. I loved everything and felt very taken care of. 10/10

First time eating here. After reading the reviews, I ended up driving from jersey City and grabbing take-out to try this place. The selection was great. I ordered fish, chicken jollof rice, and pounded yam with goat. Although the goat meat ? wasn't as tender as I prefer, the flavors were excellent,

Sooo delicious!!! We will definitely be returning! Modupe, the owner and chef is the sweetest and seriously such a good cook! We asked her what her favorite foods were to order and she said she will make us a couple different things to try, we loved each and every one! We had egusi & fufu (fufu was perfect texture), spinach stew, and rice with plantains and goat. We will definitely be returning and recommend it to anyone looking for the best fufu and egusi in New Jersey!
