First and last time ordering here. Food was hot and old, which was disheartening. Plantain so old they wouldn’t bend. Chicken hard. They put sauce all over everything and plated the food on top of each other. The absolute worse. If you want really good African food check out Suya Joint in Providence. Food, service, and atmosphere 10/10.

First time trying Nigerian food and well worth it! Great hospitality. Felt very welcomed. I told the gentleman I knew nothing about the food and wanted to try as much as possible. He took his time to explain everything to me and made recommendations accordingly. My favorite was the rice, it had a nice kick to it and great flavor! All the food was great! The service was great! I will absolutely go back! Definitely recommend!

Food was absolutely amazing. I do not know much about Nigerian food and the owners son ,told me what he recommended and educated me on the food and culture. I ordered a little bit of everything to try and I’m glad I did. The spice and flavors were amazing. I will definitely be going back for more. My favorite was the meat patty and the designer sauce . ( had a kick to it)

First time here today and I must say it will be my last. Ordered the jollof rice with stewed chicken, spinach with white rice 2 meat pies and a small side of their stewed meat. First off the guy who gave me the two meat pies gave them to me FROZEN as in literally the meat pies were rock solid and cold when i got them, I am pregnant and this is a major health violation. Even after i got home and warmed the meat pies up they tasted like they were days old I mean the photo speaks for itself, absolutely disgusting. I have never in my life received any frozen and cold meat pies at any restaurant considering there was a tray of warm ones in the front and this guy went to the back and grabbed me two frozen ones, im absolutely pissed. As for the side of stewed beef It was terribly overcooked i couldn’t even take a bite it was just not coming off the bone. everything else as in the jollof meal i never got any plaintains nor with my other spinach meal which was a major blow and i highly regret spending $45 for this terrible experience considering Ive had much much much better African food elsewhere. I would not recommend this place at all to anyone.
Update: my boyfriend got food poisoning the same day he tried to consume the food I brought from here. This place should be closed. Definitely will not be coming back!

The flavors are amazing. The owner recommended the Efo Riro and it was great, perfect level of spice and a good portion for lunch. I’ll definitely be back for lunch again.

Food was not what I expected 3/10 not only that the prices are very high for very little food so I thought it would be good but absolutely

First time here . I live down the street and drive by often, I thought it was time to try. Walking in I notice how clean and well decorated it was. I was greeted by two young ladies behind the counter. They helped me with recommendations, let me tell you , the meat pies are 10/10 . It has a buttery flakey homemade crust filled with well seasoned beef. I also had the Ewa. That was delicious! I told the ladies I enjoy spicy food and that’s what they recommended. I can’t wait to come back and try more dishes.

Very good food. Ordered jollof with fufu, egusi and tilapia with red sauce. The guy who gave us service seemed kind and eager to help. Didn’t see customers since it wasn’t a busy day but a family walked out before we came in and it was all smiles. 100% recommend it.

I ordered the village meal, beef and jollof rice. I was given a large serving of jollof that was dry and plain. Tasted like white rice and hot sauce. For the beef I got 4 small inedible rubber pieces of beef, if that's what it really was. I couldn't tell. They also put a bunch of sweet banana I didn't ask for. Not worth the $$
The food is authentic ?.
