    This was our first time for my wife and I tasting Nigerian cuisine and it couldn’t have been a better introduction. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming and every dish we tried was full of incredible flavor. A special shout-out to the manager, Masila who guided us through the menu and helped us choose the best dishes for our first experience. Thanks to his suggestions, we enjoyed some truly delicious food, the jollof rice was perfectly seasoned and the plantain was absolutely amazing.

    On Yesterday 5th Dec, I had lunch here and it was an amazing experience. Their food is top-notch, the jollof rice was delicious, the beef was tender, well smoked, and the tilapia was both huge and incredibly tasty. Even the coleslaw was fresh and well prepared. Their customer service was excellent, warm, and attentive throughout my visit. I truly enjoyed everything and can’t wait to go back again. Highly recommend

    1. I was asked how I wanted the chilli, I told them "hot". They served "mild" as shown in the receipt. When I complained, they were dismissive and eventually gave the second pix to turn 4 plates of food to hot from mild. Very unresponsive to complaints. 2. The "Chicken fried rice" of ksh1250 had no chicken. No protein. Just badly made rice. 3. The cowleg pepper soup is the most disastrous thing I have ever tasted. Pepper soup without pepper, very bland, and almost threw up. I had to thrash it. 4. The fish, rice, and plantain platter, I will give it a 3/10 5. The hyped Jollof rice is average, 5/10. This isn't a proper representation of Nigeria Jollof please. 6. It's 6days since I sent all these complaints to their WhatsApp, no reply. They called to say they would talk to the manager and get back, yet to hear from them. 7. Overall, a total waste of money! 8. This is my second time. First time not good but wasn't this bad. I gave them a second chance which I deeply regret. A reply will come asking bad reviews to contact a number, it's facade! It'll be ignored, they will do nothing. 9. I will be back in December to hunt a great Nigerian kitchen for my subsequent visits and perhaps drop a review.

    The jollof rice was nice. Tasted smoky and was good. The egusi soup was sandy. Each chew with the poundo yam was a nightmare. Sand crushed and ground in between my teeth. It was a very disappointing experience.

    Some of the best Nigerian food I've ever had. The small jollof rice lunch meal is excellent and i got the creamed spinach on the side. Came back a second time for the goat stew and the beans - delicious!
