Nneji is a small, charming African restaurant known for its authentic West African cuisine. The owner is very friendly and welcoming, often offering samples to help customers choose dishes. The menu features classic dishes such as beef stew, jollof rice, and chicken dishes like yassa. Recent reviews highlight the deliciousness of the Nigerian stews, with one customer praising the okra+spinach with spicy goat as "out of this world" and noting the spicy goat has just the right kick without being too spicy. When an item like fufu (pounded yams) was out of stock, it was replaced with yellow rice, which was well enjoyed. The staff are happy to talk about the food, give samples, and work with customers on mixed plates for one person. They prefer card payments over cash, which is appreciated. While some find the flavors strong, the pounded yam helps balance the robust tastes. Overall, Nneji offers a unique and enjoyable dining experience, making it a favorite spot for those seeking West African culinary delights.
