I love love love this place…. A soccer buddy of mine introduced me to it. I was blown away. I had jute leaves with gbegeri and pounded yam… also had asaro and jolloff rice…. All was outstanding….. food tastes fresh and like home…..finally a place I can go to eat proper Naija food. I don’t have to move to Texas after all..

Somewhat pricey, but worth it. Overall, everything was reasonably good. The only things I probably wouldn’t repurchase are the suya; it was really wet, and I’ve never seen wet suya in my life, and their meatpie. However, both their Ayamase and Amala with Ewedu are chef’s kiss! I was recently in Nigeria and tried a few restaurants, but none of them could compare to Eatwell Philly’s Ewedu and Amala. I also love that the location is in a walkable area of Old City.
