The Jollof Buka

"Giving a whole new meaning to Nigerian scam. This restaurant is quite possibly the worst Nigerian restaurant in Indianapolis if not the worst. It’s clear that they don’t care about their food or their customers. When I got to the restaurant I was greeted by no one and the restaurant was empty, filthy and looked like a boarded up abandoned building. After ringing the bell for a few minutes someone took my order it wasn’t until I paid that they told me they were out of goat meat she came back and said she’s just going to give me beef instead without even asking I said I wanted to choose and while I was choosing she went ahead and gave me beef anyway. I insisted on turkey and they said they would make the change but when I got home they still gave me beef. The cashier clearly didn’t care about working there she seemed so reluctant and the egusi soup was completely stew without any egusi the pounded yam was about 2 tablespoons as you can see in the photo. No stock fish no crawfish no towel or tripe not a hint of love in the food. All they care about is getting your $20 from you. Biggest scam ever"

"Baaabbyyy!!!! When I tell you this is my absolute favorite African spot out of all the African spots I’ve tried so far in Indy. I absolutely love it! I’m from Chicago so to find a spot similar to the ones I know of in Chicago this place is that. I usually order through DoorDash when I’m at work, because they’re no where near my house.! I usually get the, jollof rice with (Shaki), the Okra soup, cow skin, and sometimes the Efo soup and the Egusi soup.! When I tell you they have the best swallow I normally get FuFu but I’ve also tired the others. This place is definitely in my opinion hands down the best in Indy.!"

"We came to this location not knowing what to expect and we were very pleased. We visited for lunch on a Saturday so there wasn't a crowd. Great place to watch some footie while relaxing on banquettes with your food laid out on low tables like coffee tables. We'd never really had West African and Caribbean before so we were glad to receive suggestions and assistance from a patron and the owners. The Puff Puffs were excellent as an appetizer. We ended up getting the goat and chicken jollof meals and Asaro, if my memory is correct. Portions were large enough to take some home and still fill up for lunch. We will definitely be going back."

"If there’s not an event going on, you can still expect this place to still show you the upmost service. Even so, the people here are fast and the ownership is even more amazing. They want you to experience their culture and enjoy their food. We got to go food with my African coworker with chicken, fufu, and jollof and it tasted amazing to me (my coworker said it was very authentic). It was a nice place to support your locals 5/5"
