9JABUKA — Restaurant in Irvington

For my first time here I think I’m going to make it my last.to start I ordered 2 meals and one bowl off rice to go( jollof rice with goat meat,fufu and spinach soup,and just plain jollof rice no meat) for a grand total of 53.31..the jollof rice and 2 pieces of goat meat 25 dollars the rice had no flavor and tasted burnt and smelled burnt,the goat was only fat and bones.the fufu was regular and spinach soup was dry surprisingly for being soup. Everything was nasty tasteless and dry to be “AUTHENTIC” African food it didn’t live up to the standards of taste...

This restaurant has very high quality Nigerian dishes and the restaurant has a beautiful ambiance that adds to the venue . All the staff are professional and covered with hair nets and matching shirts which is so freaking professional ! I ordered porridge yam (w/kpomo) spinach , fried fish , native jollof, & shrimp fried rice. Plus some puff puff and chin-chin for desert . When I say quality ….chileeeeee. Mouth watering… I need catering...

Food is expensive there. Was told fish was made fresh, but texture was cement and temperature told otherwise. Barely had flavor and some spicy sauce on it. Jollof rice missed the mark but the vegetables were ok. One server was NASTY and the other had class. How could freshly prepared and cooked fish, be so hard its able to crack cement in half.

Gold pretty silverware and nice decor, but food was lacking.
