My first visit was good and a female lady staff was helpful (I ate Amala and Egusi). So I decided to try repeat my visit a week later. I was concerned about a particularly rude female staff who missed the order I placed by phone. Upon reminding her about a key event of the call to place my order, was that she could not understand a local regional dialect, she displayed what I can describe as a silly arrogance.
Poor attitude who does not understand that many people consider "kpanla" to be dried cod. Apparently, her version of kpanla happened to be a different fish entirely. I was glad a gentleman, the manager or owner perhaps, described the specific fish after he overhead my question to another customer about my confusion. The assorted meat selection contained a couple of cattle small intestines (or intestines of some other animal), beef skins and a tough fried piece of beef.
An employee with a disregarding attitude does not help this business. Its a shame we deal with silly attitudes in...
Read moreI had an amazing experience at this Nigerian restaurant! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with friendly smiles and the rich aroma of traditional spices. The food was absolutely delicious--each dish tasted like it was made with love and straight from a Nigerian kitchen.
I ordered egusi, assorted meat, white rice and fried plantains. My guy friend order egusi with pounded yam, and everything was seasoned to perfection. The egusi soup with pounded yam was a standout--rich, flavorful, and comforting. You can really tell they don't cut corners on quality or tradition.
The atmosphere was lively yet cozy, and the music gave it that perfect Naija vibe. Whether you're Nigerian or just looking to explore the culture through food, this place is a must-visit. I'll definitely be back soon!

Read moreI am currently sitting in restaurant very satisfied with the food, hospitality, and the love the the cook and her son have shown me and my daughter. I got the Amala with beef with added cow skin. The beef was so tender and so was the cow skin. The flavor of the sauce was amazing. I ended up ordering to go some Egusi and pounded yam since the food was so good.…. I am an African American woman and being able to enjoy the foods my ancestors were able to enjoy before slavery is more than food to me… thank you so much for sharing your gift and talent with...
