Oh my gosh where do I begin? Ive never had beef so tough that it reminded me of eating a cows foot. Meaning it was this tough as the hoof of a cow foot. You need teeth of a lion to even eat it. They ignore the note when I said please make sure my beef is tender. It was very overly priced and Im very unsatisfied.

This place has a very bad customer service,first i got someone else’s order and all d could say was sorry bla bla bla and that it wasn’t their fault,blaming it on the driver and i had to reorder only to get food without sauce,again i called and all they said was sorry and that they forgot…two days in a row, i don’t think am gonna order here again..if u need ur food fast and exactly what u ordered,please stay away from here

My boyfriend ordered egusi for me this was the worst Nigerian food I Ever tasted in my life. The sauce was watery no taste . The egusi was all white no spinach disgusting. I ate egusi before I don’t even know why this restaurant is still in business. The presentation of the food was not appetizing at all

Let me start from here...the aroma causes you to salivate, the way u will b served is so perfect that due to the already perceived aroma you cant wait. Now going to the food just a spoon into your mouth takes you into another realm. Taking the last spoon youll b wishing the food in the plate never finished. But its simple all you have to do is make another order.

This review is for hope, hope that the owner will take it into consideration for better business practice.So i called to ask if it is possible for them to make Efo Riro without any meat/fish because my husband is vegan, the person that was taking my order said “yes we can make it how you want.” I said great no problem, I would like two orders of efo riro without meat/fish, she said okay. I also ordered asaro without meat or fish. When I received my order, my husband noticed pieces of meat and fish in his efo riro and to top it off, the asaro was microwaved and extremely dry. So we called and told them that the efo had meat pieces. They said bring it back, at this point i sat in the car and waited for my husband to take it back, he was back within 5 min. I said oh that was quick, thinking they remade a new efo without meat, however that was false. My husband noticed tiny pieces of meat, at that point we knew they just tried to pick out the meat instead of remaking a new one. It’s the deception for me. Firstly, if you know you can’t substitute a certain dish, then please just say no instead of manipulating the dish, you never know if the person has a food allergy. Secondly, we are in a pandemic, it is unsanitary to take food back from a customer once it has left your restaurant and once it has been opened by the customer. Thirdly, just be honest and transparent with what you serve. Thank you, God Bless.

If I could give this restaurant 0 stars, literally I would. I paid for fresh food and all I got was food that was days old and had a bad smell. The vegetable soup was filled with oil and my food was cold. Called the restaurant up and they didnt even have the decency to offer me a new meal. Bad business

I decided to give them a try today and ordered through Uber eats My order was missing an item food didn’t really taste fresh I tried a little bit of each item and threw the rest out because it didn’t taste fresh the meat wasn’t properly cleaned/ washed and season because I could smell it, I spent $64.75 on food that ended up going in the garbage I will not be ordering from them again, the fish that came with my rice was just nasty the egusi soup didn’t taste like egusi soup at all my okra soup had beef in it just smelled bad like unthought meat. The meal was warm but not at all fresh.. just very disappointing really

I was recommended to come a couple of days ago but was hesitant but I tried the moi moi & was hesitant no more because it was the best I’ve ever had. I stopped by today & had the spinach soup & I was once again wowed.The soup was just so flavorful & reminiscent of my childhood & brought happy memories. I will definitely be back. I’m so glad that I came by today in person the staff was friendly as well. I’ve been thanking my mother for recommending this place all day. I’m not easily wowed by anything but I highly recommend this place to anyone & everyone looking for authentic African food.

This is by far one of the best Nigeria restaurants I have been to. The customer service was superb! And the food was amazing. My husband and I went here on different occasions and loved it each time.

I wanted to try some African food for the first time, and I was truly disappointed. I wanted to keep it simple, so I ordered chicken, rice and fufu. The chicken was very rubbery and had a lot of long hairs on it and it was more bones than anything, the rice was dry, and the fufu had no flavor and tasted like some plain ole mashed potatoes. Needless to say, I still want to try some good ole African food, but this place wasnt it.

Review №32

It’s my first time today and the food was HORRIBLE!!! Tasteless eforiro with lots of onion peel in the soup and the pounded yam wasn’t well cooked. The amala, ewedu and gbegiri is the worst I’ve ever had, poorly cooked and overall the entire food was tasteless. Total waste of money and I’m never going back. For a Nigerian and Yoruba joint for that matter, Omo the food no make am at all!!!

I ordered jollof rice with beef on Uber eats and received an overfilled bowl of rice with just two pieces of cow skin ( I didn’t want cow skin). I also ordered a side of goat for $6 and received literally 1 piece of meat. I’m highly upset.

At first I was wowed by the food but recently the quality has dropped drastically. If the white rice is not spoilt. The amala will smell funny or the abula will be tasteless. I have given them 3 chances to improve and I will not be ordering here again. I dont usually do reviews but I had to do this one. Smh
