I wanted to try egusi and fufu and after doing research this place was very local. My first experience was very unpleasant. While waiting on my order it seemed the ladies behind the counter were talking to 2 gentleman who had dined in and they seemed to be having a disagreement about the bill. After my food was ready the lady rang myself and my friend out ( she was paying card, I paid cash ) her total was 22.25 so I gave the lady 25.25 and she didn’t give me a receipt or change. I asked for a receipt and she said she did my total wrong. After giving me my receipt I see Where she only charged me $21 when my friend and i ordered the exact same thing. she then tells me she rung me out wrong I don’t get change. I told her if I was charged 22.25 I’d get $3 back since I gave her $25.25. She wasn’t very understanding and kept saying she did it wrong but they charge a hidden fee if you use card which is why my total paying cash was different than my friends who paid card. ( I did get my $3 change )
Also the fufu was very doughy and stuck to my fingers making it hard to work with. The egusi soup was very dry. Overall my experience wasn’t great. I will be trying egusi and fufu again just not at this Location. They offer what looked like a buffet but honestly the food behind the glass looked like it had been there for day. I should have went with my gut and left before ordering but lesson learned.

The food was extremely old and it wasn’t tasty at all. It was served to me cold, I’ve had better from that type of cuisine.

The worst beef paddy and coco bread I've ever tasted! The bread was hard and nit fresh at all. The beef paddy was just as hard and room temperature. The Jollof rice was decent. I won't be back!!

Perfect! I read the reviews and was kind of hesitant. But I had the best experience. Ordered the egusi (vegetarian) and fufu. The order was ready when I got there. Atmosphere was comfortable, and the people were polite. I will most def. be back! :)

I ordered an Oxtail meal that was $21.00 and the rice was hard the Oxtail was a bone a baby spoon of cabbage, the curry chicken $18.00 meal just nasty, I thought when they wrapped the to go containers in plastic, I thought for the food want waste out, No its so you want check it the said part is I can cook all of that ten times better and I am american. Thats on me being lazy, Its very quiet in there Why no customers. I WILL NEVER EVER EVER GO THERE AGAIN MY FIRST AND LAST TIME!!

Soup poorly packaged and no vegetables. Paid for soup, but barely anything left. Fufu was still dough - inedible.
I contacted the restaurant and will do nothing to rectify. We will never eat there again.

Have visited this establishment for 2yrs. great food, cause i love the difference from the regular eating habits. Attempted to call in an order for the first time in 2yrs he made me feel that because i asked 2 questions about the menu items, he didn't have the time and i should come in and place my order. nonsense,
