This. Food. Is. Absolutely. Disgusting. I pass by this place all the time and always wanted to try. It's ALWAYS empty inside, but I didn't want to judge. The jollof had so many pieces of Thyme in it that it was hard to eat! Thyme is like the only seasoning they used. The "spinach" tasted like canned collard greens. Absolutely no seasoning on the greens like at all, plus they were so tough, like it was straight from the can to me. They attempted to warm it up in the microwave because I heard it go off twice while I was there. The food is supposed to be fresh so why do they even need a microwave?? The guy said it was to prep food but that's a lie. My food came out 5 min after ordering and it tasted like 5 min went into making it. Ive been wanting to try Taste of Nigeria, and Cafe Abuja but the guy said they were owned by the same person so nvm. Be careful, some reviews were obviously written by loved ones or friends. I'll stick to Aria Suya kitchen or KFFO for my nija fix. Everyone keeps asking why I even went there, apparently everyone knew it was disgusting except me lol. The owner should be ashamed of himself for representing nija this way!!

I’ve eaten here a couple of time and I try to find something different to try. This time I tried to okra soup to go. It was disappointing, the okra soup lacked flavor. It was simply just okra and the protein I ordered on the side. I guess I spoiled with home made soups. But I will be back because the other items I have had were great.

I don’t want to auto give it a 1 star…it had potential. But our food was an immediate NO. Someone scorched the egusi. If it’s suppose to taste like that every egusi I’ve ever had is wrong. It looks great and we wanted to love our food but we ended up requesting refunds and leaving it on the table. The customer service was great the two boys who checked us out were nice. The manager they put on the phone with us didn’t give too much trouble. I want to say we will try again another day but it’s too expensive to do any time soon. Looks great though! lol

I did not dine in the interior looked outdated and seems to need a little tax. If am reviewing the food I got the jollof rice with chicken. Service is what you expect got the food in about 20 to 30 min got carry out. Now the food the chicken was ok but the jollof rice taste burnt. All I taste is heat and brunt taste. I spent almost 50 for two meals and a tip. I couldn’t even finish the rice after 2 bite. The burnt taste is ever present. I have tried other jollof rice none has such a strong burnt taste. I will never be going to this restaurant again till they fix that rice. My own experience take it as it is.

Waited for hours to get our food. When we asked about the progress of the food they said what we had ordered for finished.

I had a terrible experience at this place. Ordered food and was made to wait for 2 hours only to be told they were out of the food, after several inquiries. They kept me waiting and didn’t even let me know they were out. Terrible place and would not recommend. Wish I could give zero stars. Save your money. Take it somewhere else.

This place was a terrible experience. We waited 2 hours only for them to tell us they don’t have the food we have requested. One of our group ordered jollof rice and snails and received it. Within the same group, someone else ordered that same thing but they stated they didn’t have it while already provided someone else the same thing. This place will take too long and will serve subpar food at an expensive price. Do not come!
