Adebola African Restaurant — Restaurant in Woodbridge Township

The food is okay but the portions are so small that they are insulting. Any stew that you buy will be about 2 ounces, yes 2 ounces for $30. I’m not exaggerating, I said 2 ounces. After paying $140 today for three dishes and drinks all three put together doesn’t equal even 1 portion. It’s really not fair and they are so use to people questioning the portions that they don’t care. If you don’t pay $6 for swallow, it won’t come with the 2 ounce portion, 2 cut pieces of meat cost $8. The fish portion is about 4 ounces. For the price and always poor service, I’d say find you another spot. They don’t have a kitchen and preheat the food as it’s ordered. Business there is always slow and I’ve never seen any customers in there the several times that I’ve visited. Today was the last straw for me. The portions went from tiny to micro dot. Nobody can afford that. Below is the actual portion, nothing taken out. The fish is bigger on this plate than it normally is. The food is descent and she says she gives small portions for so much money because she uses fresh ingredients and is in the mall. I don’t care where you are located, I’m a truck driver hauling spinach and an entire case of 20 bags cost $25 wholesale. Times are to hard to be played like this over food and the ingredients are cheap, cheaper lard greens $2 a bunch...

I wanted to come up here and give my opinion on the food my husband purchased. I initially wanted to give them 3 stars for trying but my husband is a chef himself and felt like they deserved no stars. My husband is Nigerian born and raised. Some of the food my husband already touched before I could take the picture. As the picture shown that’s the jar they provided for sauce (which was originally half of the jar) for the fried yam. It’s something I thought I’d enjoy but the fried yam was no flavor at all. The egusi soup I didn’t enjoy at all but out of everything he said they tried. It’s a NO for me. The only thing I enjoyed was the Pomo in the egusi. 😆 it came with small pieces of meat. My husband implied maybe because it’s in the mall the portions were so small but it missed a lot of flavor and love if you know what I mean! The food came to $66 which was very overpriced. The fish and Jollof rice tasted funny. The pounded yam portion you can see for yourself 😆 I did try to enjoy the fish though. I called to inform only about the sauce and the owner was very dismissive. Owning a business I thought you would be able to take criticism. They...

I came across this African restaurant while walking through the mall and decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, my experience was very uncomfortable from the moment I walked in. I was immediately looked up and down, which made me feel unwelcome.

When I approached the woman at the front, she didn’t seem interested in helping me at all. I asked if they had any premade food, and instead of answering, she dismissed my question and just asked, “What do you want?” I explained it was my first time there and asked again what they offered. Rather than taking the time to explain or make me feel welcome, she gave me a one-word response and simply pointed to the signs behind the counter.

As a first-time customer, I expected at least some basic courtesy and guidance. Instead, I left feeling disregarded and unwelcome. This was my first time visiting, and unfortunately, it will also be my last. Best of luck to their business, but I can’t recommend it based on...
