The Village PVD is a restaurant that offers African cuisine, including dishes such as fufu, stew, pepper soup, and Jollof rice. The restaurant has been praised for its great food and friendly service. Many customers enjoy the variety of vegan options available, like spinach stew and the filling fufu (pounded yam). The flavors are described as complex and spicy, with some dishes, such as The Designer, being particularly hot. The food is noted for its freshness and heat, even after a long drive and wait time. Portions of fufu and pounded yam are generous, while pepper soup and spinach-based stew are smaller for their price. The restaurant’s presentation is cafeteria-style, and some reviewers mention that take-out portions differ from dine-in.
The decor is warm and inviting, though the door can be hard to find, requiring entry through the Citizen’s Bank. The service varies depending on who is at the counter, with many praising the staff’s friendliness and professionalism. The location is situated among businesses and near hotels, with few nearby restaurants for visitors exploring the area. While the food is flavorful and unique, some customers felt the value for the price could be better, noting that the plantains in a Jollof rice dish were soggy and stale. Overall, The Village PVD is recommended for those looking to try Nigerian dishes and enjoy a welcoming atmosphere.
