Its really nice the jollof is spicy and tasty, I don't like jollof generally so yes theirs is really good.
I love their banga/ofe akey stew, I use it for rice instead of swallow the only complaint is when I order it for rice they give me a very small plate of rice, like a side dish which makes no sense honestly .
The nkwobi is mid, it's more like they put soft ponmo than cow foot , its spicy but flavorless .their moist moist is nice and rich with fish and corn beef, very delicious, I like the fact that the white rice place comes with a side of white beans, veggies and plantain and almost always the plantain is ripe and soft and delicious as it should be.
the workers are nice most times but you can tell the days their stressed and gave the service a 3 because they never give you utensils for to go items...
I've ordered a lit of times to go and they never put a napkin or forks/spoons nothing, which socks most times because if I'm not home I have to look for where to get a spoon before I could eat.
Overall, I didn't give it a 5 star because it has quite a few down sides but it's a decent 4 because the upsides make up for the most part.

The bathroom was clean.
The appetizer was the best thing.
The rice was burned, at the bottom of the pot; I could smell and taste it.
Oxtails had flavor, but were tough.
Egusi was egusi.
Customer service wasn't good, at all.
Food was absolute trash.
Go for some gram pics, not the food.

Parking was easy.
Restaurant was clean.
We were sat right away.
Blessings, our waitress, made great recommendations with drinks, appetizers, and entree.
They were able to accommodate my dietary restrictions.
Food was delicious!! We had a lovely evening! Thank you!!
