First time my husband and I ate at Ukoni 9ja cuisine, my husband had poundo with Oha soup and i had poundo with egusi soup. my husband loves Oha only when it’s homemade and he is very picky when it comes to eating out. Did I mention that when he ate, he ordered extra and was impressed with how she made her Oha taste so fresh, authentic and delicious. In hubby’s words “it’s finger licking good.” I have since ordered Oha soup as takeout and hubby is still so impressed with the taste and authenticity of this food. Btw my egusi soup was 10/10.

The food was not it. Okra stew was excruciatingly spicy I couldn’t even take a full bite. The yam was not great. The stew with the chicken was so oily they might as well have given us a bottle of oil. You can’t substitute any items. A side of jollof rice is $12.
We spent $53 to wait an hour for our food only for it to be the most disappointing experience ever. We had to throw it away. It messed up my wife’s stomach. Terrible African food and terrible service. Do...
