Nico's Lounge Restaurant and Bar

"I walked in and sat at the bar immediately because I saw people there and wasn’t sure about the set up, then a woman from a window way in the back asked me if I wanted food. I said yes and walked back there and put in my order. I got Okra Soup and Egusi with Jollof rice. I waited like 10 minutes then got everything super hot. I drove 30 minutes home with everything and it was still hot. The rice was everything!! And the okra soup was my favorite. I’ll definitely be back."

"The place need a serious uplift. I have tried the food on multiple occasions, but it tastes terrible. It seems they keep cooked food for a long time and it becomes really tasteless. To their credit, if you use them for catering, they cook really good food. Since they prepare it fresh. But for in-store or online orders, don't expect anything tasty. Also the environment really really needs serious improvements. If they can't get enough customers, they should probably change to online orders only with maybe a day lead time. At least they can make it fresh on a order-by-order basis. Hoping something will change about this restaurant. The other Nigerian restaurant, eko african in Antioch, is not much better."

"A very fine African/Nigerian restaurant in Nashville, TN, with authentic Nigerian cuisines. I enjoyed the Egusi soup with Fufu. The food was so delicious that my friends had to go back to their destination with a to go box of food. The owner is licensed too, so you will have no worry about your health concerns. Just let them know if you're allergic to certain foods, and you will get the best."

"This was the most flavorless egusi I have ever had. I’m 4 months pregnant and was craving egusi and fufu while in Nashville. And this did not satisfy my craving. Idk if it’s typically cooked this way but it’s a no for me. And it has masking tape with “Egusi” written on it like it was in the refrigerator or freezer and they stuck it in the microwave which would explain a lot more because when I walked in I didn’t smell any food cooking. And the food has no flavor and was very watery. Go somewhere else if you can."

"I visited this place in search of fufu but was left disappointed with the overall experience. It seemed more suited for takeout rather than dining in, as the setup and ambiance were not conducive to a comfortable meal. The loud music further detracted from the dining experience. When the food arrived, it was excessively hot, almost to the point of being difficult to enjoy. Unfortunately, the fufu and rice didn't meet my expectations, as I've had better versions elsewhere. The beef was overcooked, resulting in a less-than-ideal texture, and I found myself unable to finish the soup."
