Reviews
"While the jollof rice was cooked perfectly and tasted good the cassava was just ok. The beef however was clearly old (tough). I couldnt even bite it and you could look at it and tell it was old meat. I might try them one more time and get something else."
"I’ve known about this restaurant since 2018. I’ve ordered several things from them and I’ve done puff puff catering with them. I stopped ordering from them in 2019 after I ordered grilled fish and I got sick…. Fast forward to 2023. Today, I decided to give them a try again and order Puffpuff, Asun, Egusi Soup and Okra soup with pounded yam… The puff puff and Asun was nice as always… Egusi- Tasted like it was mixed with undone tomato sauce. I can literally taste the sour tomatoes. No true Nigerian person will eat this. The color of the egusi looks very inviting, but the taste is not. Okra soup- I was skeptical to eat this at first because it wasn’t drawing like how okra soup should be. I decided to give it a try and my goodness I’m very disappointed. The soup has big portions of meat which is nice, but the taste is not up to par. Again, I don’t know any Nigerian or African at that, that will be okay with this. I have to say, their jollof rice, puff puff, Asun and meatpie is a must try, but every other thing is not authentic at all. I’ve also had an amazing customer service experience with them."
"The food was amazing! We had pepper fish talapia, jollof rice, white rice, egusi and beef. Also customer service was great from all staff there. One recommendation would be to decorate and utilize dine in area and have as option. We were able to sit and eat there but the lights were out and chairs and table was not set up- we would not have known we could eat there if we didn’t ask. But overall the food and customer service was great!"
"I just moved to the area and have been looking for authentic African cuisine. This is my second week in a row I have went here. The cashier(Woman) was very welcoming and professional. The music in the restaurant was nice. The location is very clean. Lots of parking thank god that was not an issue. I ordered the “Asun” and my GOD it’s hot but so good. My meal was Cassava/beef with white rice. Everything was perfect. Comfort food is what I call it. I give this place 5 stars. I can’t wait to order the snails. They do make though you don’t see it on the menu. You have to call a week in advance if you want some. I will be placing my order next week."
"Pretty good overall; was expecting a bit more flavor based on other reviewers. the restaurant itself looks kind of like a dive, but that's not necessarily a bad thing as some of the best kept food spots are considered dives. I got the combination platter which was one entree with two sides. For the main I got fish, tilapia, and for the sides I got the rice and the moin-moin, which was described to me as a "bean cake" of sorts. The person that took my order was friendly and helpful. Prices seemed decent for the area. Menu is limited, which is totally fine. Food took about 10 to 15 minutes to come out, which is pretty on par. And my meal came out, it looked great and the portions were big. The rice was basically an entire bowl of rice put on the plate, the fish was a whole tilapia, and the moin-moin was shaped like a cup. The rice was fairly flavorful, but pretty spicy. It reminded me of Spanish rice of sorts. The moin-moin reminded me of refried beans, just packed tightly into a "cake". To me, it was kind of bland though. A tilapia looks good with some sort of green chile sauce from what I can tell on it. I thought it would be fried but it was probably baked or sauteed. However, I thought the fish was sort of bland as well. It wasn't bad per se, I guess I just was expecting a lot more flavor from it."
