Fabaceae African Cuisine Inc. — Restaurant in Houston

A Hidden Gem for Authentic Nigerian Cuisine!

If you’re looking for truly authentic Nigerian food that tastes homemade, this is the place to be! I brought my in-laws here while they were visiting, and from the very first bite, they couldn’t stop raving about how incredible everything tasted. “This tastes just like home!” was a constant refrain at our table.

Despite arriving in the mid-afternoon when the restaurant was quiet, the flavors spoke volumes. Every dish we tried—five in total—was fresh, expertly prepared, and bursting with rich, traditional flavors. You can tell the ingredients are high-quality, and the care put into each meal is undeniable.

Beyond the food, the experience was fantastic. The restaurant has a welcoming, no-frills ambiance, and they even have a sink in the lobby for handwashing—a thoughtful touch that speaks to the authenticity of the dining experience.

Whether you’re craving jollof rice, egusi soup, or any other Nigerian delicacy, this spot delivers in every way. Don’t let its modest location fool you—this is some of the best Nigerian food you’ll find....

I really hate to take legal actions and force a resolution including an additional settlement amount beyond my $50 refund reimbursement, but at this point I'll do...

Where can I start from? I came in to this restaurant today for the first time and I told the person there that I want to order. He told me he just informed them and someone will be coming to take my order. After 30 mins, I asked if he told them that I wanted to order and all he said was he already did and they will be coming…I didn’t see anyone until 40 mins later…okay now I was already upset thinking the person taking my order would be remorseful but unfortunately not. I placed my order and didn’t get it until 35 mins later..After getting my food I told the man that it’s my first time here and I am very disappointed at what happened but he could tell me was no one told him and I should have called on the phone. I was so ready to eat my food then boom I realized that my fish was tasting cold from the fridge and I believe they just microwaved the food and it wasn’t fresh at all.. I will not be returning back here and if I could give it 0 star I...
