Authentic West African flavors, loved the Pounded Yam!


Review by America Smitham

I recently visited the Intercontinental Nigerian/African Restaurant in Columbus and I was blown away by the experience! πŸ‡³πŸ‡¬

The Pounded Yam Fufu and Egusi Soup were phenomenal - perfectly textured fufu paired with a flavorful, spiced soup that left me wanting more. The chicken drumsticks were well-seasoned, though the thin fish bones in the soup required a bit of care while eating.

The Jollof Rice was another highlight, seasoned beautifully! Plantains were just as delightful! πŸ˜‹

The cozy atmosphere combined with friendly service made for a fantastic dining experience. I'll definitely be back for another big serving of this authentic West African cuisine! 🌟
