I love this place so much. It is amazing that they have vegan options. This finally allowed me to try Nigerian food for the first time as I transitioned after I discovered it the quality is 10 out of 10 and so is the customer service. I have never not been greeted with a great big smile. They are the best.

First time trying Nigerian cuisine. Great vegan options! We tried moin moin, jollof rice, and fufu with egusi and all were a delight. I'm glad they finally opened up a sit down space. The service was excellent, very helpful with navigating the menu.

I want to applaud this restaurant for their inclusive menu. By offering vegan and non vegan options patrons don’t have to take turns over health and togetherness. We all dined together vegans and non vegans. There are a plethora of choices and each was better than the other, making choosing a chore. The meals were seasoned to perfection. We dey chop ooo. The service was great, the owners were friendly, and professional. Talk about patient, they made us feel at home. Our food was made fresh and in a timely manner. Yes!!! I highly recommend this hidden gem,

A Hidden Gem for Authentic Nigerian Cuisine! If you’re looking for truly authentic Nigerian food that tastes homemade, this is the place to be! I brought my in-laws here while they were visiting, and from the very first bite, they couldn’t stop raving about how incredible everything tasted. “This tastes just like home!” was a constant refrain at our table. Despite arriving in the mid-afternoon when the restaurant was quiet, the flavors spoke volumes. Every dish we tried—five in total—was fresh, expertly prepared, and bursting with rich, traditional flavors. You can tell the ingredients are high-quality, and the care put into each meal is undeniable. Beyond the food, the experience was fantastic. The restaurant has a welcoming, no-frills ambiance, and they even have a sink in the lobby for handwashing—a thoughtful touch that speaks to the authenticity of the dining experience. Whether you’re craving jollof rice, egusi soup, or any other Nigerian delicacy, this spot delivers in every way. Don’t let its modest location fool you—this is some of the best Nigerian food you’ll find. Highly recommend!
