The only good thing was the jallof rice . Still even that didn’t have enough spice . The oxtail and pepper soup we’re terribly disgusting and disappointing ! Oxtail was hard like wood and flavorless ! Pepper soup had foul smell and after taste. I got food poisoning too! I strongly suggest you eat homemade food Over this . Definitely not worth the price and does not deserve even 1 star ! Feh!
Fufu was bland, fish was so fishy my fiancé had to spit it out, chicken and oxe tail was fine I guess and the egusi soup had random hard pieces through out.... and there portions are for children. SAVE YOUR MONEY!
I thought this place would be good and was excited because Nigerian restaurants can be hard to find. Set up seemed efficient which sometimes isn’t the case with niaja spots. So, I was eager to dig in. The cashier let me sample a few things and based on my order, I expected some greatness. First theirs a special they make that’s goat meat and spices, it also has pieces of liver in it that we found out about AFTER THE FACT!! Not great! Then there’s the ogbono substitute that was just too spicy for comparisons to the soup. The egusi (which is a staple) was not done well and the multiple human hairs I picked out made this an incomplete meal. For a Sunday special, plantain and two basic entrees in a buffet serving style setup, my bill was 51 dollars without the tip. Such a tragedy but I can never return. No staff members are ever responsive. That really sucks.
Food was terrible, not authentic at all, and service was worse. My order was placed at least 30 before my arrival and it still wasn't ready when I arrived, and the portions are small. For the quality and quantity of the food and service the prices should be lower. One is better off watching a Nigerian cook on you-tube or I.G and cooking at home themselves.
My favorite Nigerian restaurant! I tried call up there With no answer! I was told by the server their phone is having technical issues so just go up there. Won’t be disappointed.
