Coal City Restaurant

"I was at the restaurant with my wife yesterday, and that was our first visit. We chose the Buffet option and it was fantastic. The pepper soup was nice, my wife had rice and assorted meat and she commended it highly. I had pounded yam, and it was excitingly satisfying. The bitter leaf soup was so good, plus the people were warm and nice. When I compared the negative reviews I read to what I saw yesterday, I can only conclude that the improvement they have made is outrightly fantastic. The only downside (and which is not the restaurant's fault) is getting a place to park, and which of course we eventually got across the road at a token as parking charge. We intend to visit again!"

"DO NOT order from this restaurant as mentioned from someone previously the portion size is absolutely ridiculous for £15, I was told the cost of living means they can’t refund or partially refund my order, but can give me money off a future order, okay? But why is that my problem? I told the lady I will not be ordering again. Cost of living is a problem for everyone all the more reason to give people what they expected instead of conning customers into thinking they are getting more. I told her I complained through the app I ordered from she told me she would fight it. What kind rubbish be this? If this keeps happening the business will not last so good luck. This isn’t how to treat customers, utterly disappointed!"

"I ordered a whole grilled fish and a side of fried plantain and I can tell whoever cares to read that there's absolutely nothing grilled about that fish. It tasted like it was done in a airfryer hurriedly. Tasted bland. No love or soul was put into that cooking. The plantain was so soft and soggy, you'll think I ordered ewa agoyin. And my food came1 hour and some change, after my order was confirmed. I don't know how yall cook with the hope that your loopholes are well disguised with the ganish. I wish it tasted like it looked, because that was some topnotch garnishing."

"I don’t normally write reviews but today must be done today I received the smallest amount of food not even a child would eat. I called the shop and the boss lady said “the cost of living is low and we can’t afford to give out the normal portions we give”. I’ve ordered from this restaurant many times and even went into the restaurant to buy food from them for years. I knew they wasn’t the best but okay enough because of the area especially lacking in Authentic African food. But today I received the worst service and nothing was done about it. I was even told from the boss herself that they give less food to those that order on Uber eats which is funny to me because regardless of if I order online or in shop I should be getting what I paid for. I believe the restaurant needs to be shut down since they can’t afford to feed their customers and have no capability of delivering customers service. The most distressing thing was trying to talk to them when ordering in the restaurant and they are having a party in the restaurant, playing really loud music and serving customer on the side?!! My advice would be to focus on how to run a proper business and stop taking people hard earned money knowing you have the intentions of giving them less than what they think they’re paying for online. They lost a customer today and take it from me, it’s worth going Tottenham or even Better yet South London to get African food you will only be disappointed buying from this restaurant."

"The Arsenal vs Brighton game was on last night we got in and ordered 10 minutes into the game...we didnt get the food until 73rd min of the second half. Heavily disappointed but wanted to try and give these guys a chance so we persevered as its our local african spot. The food was okay, plantain was really nice but nothing was worth the wait."
