A Promising First Taste of Nigerian Takeout

I recently tried "Food Sleeve" for the first time, and it was an experience that left a mark. It's a unique spot, focusing on takeout rather than a dine-in experience, something I wish I'd known beforehand.

A Flavorful Introduction: The meal I had was their pounded yam with egusi and okra soups. It's rare to find such authentic and heartwarming Nigerian cuisine so far from home. The freshness, taste, and generous portion sizes were spot on. It was a delightful first impression.

The Journey to Flavor Town: It was a 45-minute drive for me, but the quality of the food made it worthwhile. Their service was quick and efficient, a pleasant surprise for a first-timer like myself.

Room for Improvement: I'm holding back on the full five-star rating for now, as I believe in experiencing a place a few times before giving a final verdict. Plus, a clearer indication on their online presence that they're exclusively a takeout establishment would be helpful for new customers.

Early Verdict: So far, "Food Sleeve" has impressed me with their authentic Nigerian flavors and efficient service. It's a solid four stars from me at this point. I'm looking forward to trying more of their menu in the future to solidify my opinion. For anyone craving true Nigerian tastes, "Food Sleeve" is definitely worth trying – just remember, it's all...

After seeing several five-star reviews, I decided to take a chance and order from Foodsleeve through DoorDash. The packaging was well-sealed and properly packed, which is why I gave the service and atmosphere 3 stars to be fair. I opted for the egusi, pounded yam, jollof combo with chicken and goat meat.

The egusi and pounded yam were decent, although being new to these dishes, I can't judge if they tasted or smelled as they should. However, the jollof combo was a disappointment. Everything had a burnt flavor, as if it was cooked in a burnt pot. While the jollof could have been good without this burnt taste, the plantains were enjoyable. Unfortunately, the goat meat and chicken were severely overcooked to the point where they had the texture of jerky. It was so tough that my jaw grew tired from trying to chew it. In the end, I had to discard everything, which was frustrating considering the $51 I paid for the meal. I'm starting to doubt the authenticity of the other reviews or wondering if the day I ordered was...

What a phenomenal experience with Foodsleeve amazing gourmet yummy African meals. Concisely, I always order food for myself as well as my out of state guests at Foodsleeve and we are never disappointed no matter what food we ordered as the food is always superb. Foodsleeve ihas definitely earned a lifetime customer in me! The service experience is excellent!

Experience: It’s always a great and excellent experience ordering African food from Foodsleeve. I’m always delighted with my orders, no matter what I order, the food is always freshly prepared and hot, yummy and fantastic. The Amala and Semo with Efo Riro and ewedu with gbegiri and Efo elegisi are out of this world, my favorites, though, omg, they gives you that absolute rich 9ja flavor able taste that opens up your tastebuds and importantly the meals comes at a very reasonable and affordable Price. I wouldn't hesitates to recommend Foodsleeve to anyone anytime, any day! Big kudos to Foodsleeve! Highly...
