I’m not sure what has changed with this restaurant, but it’s definitely not the same as before. It used to be really good; seasoned to perfection. I’ve been ordering from them regularly for about over a year now through Uber Eats, and over time, the quality has noticeably declined.
First, they changed the packaging completely, which also meant smaller portions. But then, my usual order, egusi soup with protein and poundo started coming with less and less protein. Some days, I’d only get two pieces of meat, and sometimes just one piece of meat and one piece of skin (or “blanket,” as some call it). Each time, it seemed to shrink even more, yet the price stayed the same.
And now, even the taste has changed. It used to be rich and flavorful, but now it tastes bland and unseasoned. I used to prefer this place over Nigah Jollof, but honestly, Nijar Jollof now tastes much better for cheaper price.

It’s sad because I was excited to see a Nigerian restaurant but if this is what to expect I’ll certainly not...
Read moreFirst off I am a Ghanaian, and you might know there is always this debate of whose jolly rice is the best Ghana and Niger and after having the Jollof rice with assorted meat, I am highly impressed. I have enjoyed various jolly place between Guelph to Toronto and by far this PLACE is the best! The aroma alone brought me back home in Ghana. The taste was perfect and although the portion could be improved pairing it with the price, it did not take away the experience of enjoying a really good Jollof rice . I give it 4 star because I haven’t tried everything there yet which I am counting on doing. If you are reading this, Stop and go and order some Jollof , you will...
