“ my boyfriend & i came here to try Nigerian food for the first time and honestly it is just so good. the atmosphere feels like i'm dining at somebody's house but there's really no better environment to eat at than what feels like home. our server was really nice and welcoming. even the people eating there were really nice. we asked for some recommendations and he was very nice to recommend the jollof rice with fish (which was my favorite) and the egusi soup with chicken (my boyfriend's favorite). of course, we got a side of pounded yam and our food came with a side of plantains which was the perfect side to pair with everything. they did not skimp on the meat and the flavor of everything was just perfect. i hope this place stays in business and doesn't just get attention just because fufu is trending. we'll definitely be visiting again. Nigerian food is now one of my top cuisines to keep exploring and i can't wait to try more. ”

“ The food was absolutely on point! Every dish we tried was delectable! The service was really nice too. The restaurant is old and not updated, so this place doesn't have a nice ambiance, however, the food will make up for it! I have been here twice with my husband and daughter. ”

Thank you Family ”
“ Fantastic dining experience! It was our first time eating at a Nigerian restaurant and the owner/chef was super kind and hospitable. It felt like we were guests in her home and enjoying food that felt home-cooked. She gave us recommendations for what to order as first-timers and even made the dish not spicy for our palates as we requested. The best part was that she explained to us about the food and sat down with us to demonstrate the proper way to eat the food, including how to dip the fufu (sweet potato dough) into the ngusi (African melon seed soup). We took her recommendations and ordered the jollof rice, which had a nice tomato flavor with spices. We ordered it with the combination of beef and goat meat. It came with a side of crispy lightly fried plantains. The ngusi (soup) had a strong, earthy aroma and flavors and was very delicious. We ordered it with fresh fish. Great value as the menu prices included the tax and tip already. Easy parking in the attached lot. ”
