Nikki's Place Restaurant — Restaurant in London

Sat down determined to have the fish pepper soup. However it was not available, which is fine. I got the Jollof rice with beef stew instead and moin moin.

Jollof rice was 10 out of 10 delectable satisfaction which really abated my appetite for it. The plantain was disgustingly hard, I left it alone.

The beef stew was delicious, however it has tripe in it. Clarified with them that I want only beef and nothing else in my stew yet assorted meats were in it. The owner later asked me to order it specifically as beef only, but I correctedly pointed out that I had indeed specified the kind of meat I want in my stew.

Now here comes the dish which ultimately left me disappointed. Moin moin was lacklustre in taste and reeked of not having been prepared freshly. Texture was almost powder-ish. The egg was severely overcooked to a rubber-like consistency. There were no fish bits in it which would have salvaged it somewhat.

Overall an experience I would avoid altogether if only I had known. The rave reviews were somewhat misleading. Perhaps I should have tried the egusi and yam type dishes more prominently featured in the...

My family and I were amused at the taste of all the meals we ordered. My kids enjoyed the Jollof rice while myself and hubby enjoyed the pounded yam and egusi soup, amala, gbegiri with ewedu, and goat meat. My kids insisted that I take some pictures for review before we finished our meal.

Although we had to wait longer for our order, it was worth it as all the food tasted fresh and delicious with authentic Nigerian flavor. The owner of the restaurant was also a nice woman who welcomed us pleasantly.

It was a real taste of home. We would definitely...

This is a little gem! If you like Nigerian food then this is a great place to eat. Beautifully cooked, the plantain was crispy (not oily), yam porridge was delicious as was the very generous portion of beef in sauce. All the dishes you'd expect to find on the menu such as pepper soup, jollof rice and pounded yam to name a few. Together with a drink it was approximately £13. The staff were extremely friendly and the atmosphere was cosy! If you've never tried Nigerian food, go there - it's the best I've tasted...
