1st off, I'll start by saying I'm a British Nigerian, so i have tried my fair share of jollof, meat pie and assorted meats. So I have an idea of how these things should taste. We ordered from this establishment over the weekend, while on a short break in Coventry. We decided to patronize our compatriots and spend our money with them and support. We waited 40-50 minutes for the food to be delivered by deliveroo.. no biggie. We sat eagerly awaiting some Nigerian Comfort food however, sadly we were met with what can only be described as burnt, dry , reheated nonsense. Seriously guys, you have to do better. The food was actually poor, the meat pie that we ordered immediately on seeing it, it was clear it was not fresh at all, the pie just broke apart like it had been deep frozen and reheated, However that was'nt the worse part of the pie, as it fell apart it as clear that this pie was 97% short crust pastry and 1.5% carrot and 1.5% meat. Like seriously if i want to eat pure pastry i can hang out around the back of Greggs at closing time and just eat from the bin. This as it happens is exactly where this insult to meat pies went, straight in the trash. Then onto the rice, this rice looked and tasted like the type of rice you get at a Christmas party and put it away in your freezer, then while cleaning out your freezer in April you come across it and try to reheat it. Dry, flakey, clumped up and burnt and then the meat... dry carcass' in the Sahara have more moisture than the meat that came with the burnt offering rice. Finally to top it all off we had actually ordered fried rice and were given plain boiled white rice.. the type of rice that you can take out from your larder chuck in the rice cooker and have done in 5 minutes. When we complained, they didn't seem to care. Only saving grace was the plantain. So after ordering all that, all we ate was boiled white rice and plantain. I don't usually like to write bad reviews especially to business' i turned out to support but the food was BAD. I just hope it can help them put more effort into the...
Read moreAs an African traveler from the Netherlands visiting Warwick for a few weeks, I decided to try an African restaurant because I believe the dish will be the closest, in terms of quality and nutrition, to the one I make at home.
I would first like to commend their services because I had an amazing interaction with their contact person. However, the quality of the food they sell is nothing to write home about. Their food is too greasy--which is grossly unhealthy--and tasteless.
After my first order, I made a note on my second order that they should limit the amount of oil in my food—see image for the oil I poured from one of their dishes. It seemed my comment got them agitated, and they decided to put so much oil in my Gizzard Dodo such that the package itself was filled with oil. The Gizzard Dodo I even purchased looked like Tomato Sauced Dodo with a little Gizzard. The quality of the food they sell doesn't match up with the price.
I won't be ordering from this restaurant for the rest of my stay...
