It saddens me to see that they are temporarily closed and I hope it is just that. I have had some really good food here in the past and the service was always so friendly. Whether we were eating in or dining out everything was good. Huge portions, enough to share. I love the meat pies (beef, carrots, peas, potatoes) and Nigerain Sharwama (chicken & veg). The spices are incredible. I can't say enough nice things and again, really hope to see them back at it again soon. read more

This was my first time trying west african food and everything was delicious! Get it all We ended up getting the Nigerian Suya, Jollof Rice + Beef, bread/moimoi, medium fried fish, & Groundnut Soup/peanut stew, & fufu. My favorite was the fish, peanut stew with the fufu! I've tried to find another west African place since and I am glad this was my first try because it was so good I'd love to go again if I'm in the area. I went here February 2023 read more

The portion is very small sadly for dinner portion. Never got my puf puf :( so poor service in my opinion but could have been delivery mistake. Food is hot still. Maybe would be better in person. read more

Dirty, ordered about $30 worth of food, got charged $70 There's a lot of things to complain about but I'll focus on the two biggest problems, the dirtiness and overcharging. We were seated at a booth that still had napkins and straw covers from a previous customer, along with some disgustingly dirty menus. I thought the waiter/owner would offer to clean it up quickly, but he started bringing out what seemed to be samples of food (the first were tiny dishes of stews) and setting them on top of the mess (see picture), even before we had a chance to examine the menu and order. Which leads to the big problem- he kept bringing little plates of food out and insisted we try them and tell him what we thought- I thought this was leading to a suggestion of what we should order, but it turns out he charged us for all these things that we didn't order! Fufu, $5.99, Dundu $14.99 and Dodo Stir Fry $12.99. (We did order Jollof with "2 [rock hard dried out] pieces" of beef, and Eforiro). That brought our total bill for lunch up to $70! When I complained to him that we didn't order these things, he said "I had to bring them out because she [pointing to my wife] is vegetarian", which makes no sense, since we told him when we sat down that she was probably going to order the vegetable stew. He refused to take them off the bill. The Dundu (fried plantain) and Dodo (fried yams) stir fry were nothing special by the way. No seasoning and kind of cold like they had come out of the fryer a while ago. (That's the $12.99 Dodo stir fry in the photo, sitting on top of the dirty menus). read more

This was among the strangest experiences I ever had. I came in with high hopes. I never had west African cuisine but only East African--Ethiopian. They had me try samples of the jollof rice and two of their vegetable dishes: one with melon and another with spinach. Almost everything is sold a la carte. The fufu, which is the yam pudding, is a staple but sold separately. I ordered the spinach dish but turned out to have bones-on turkey. The goat soup was slightly cold in the bottom. They brought out a bowl of water and demonstrated how to eat like a real African. It was a strange experience. I wanted to go wash my hands with soap in the restroom, but they insisted that I follow their custom. The owner even washed his hands in the bowl that he gave me and showed how to pick up the fufu with the spinach. It could not master the technique, so he became a little irritated. He said it was not the custom to eat the spinach with a fork. Closing out was also awkward. The tap machine was supposedly not working. I tried to insert my card into a portable device or phone. The owner said I must enter my card information. That was absolutely awkward. I paid in cash and left. If I were ever to revisit Pittsburgh, it most definitely won't be for this restaurant. I'd stick with forks, spoons, and chopsticks. Never again with that technique. I ended up with food poisoning from this place. This place really was dirty. read more

The fufu and egusi were delicious. The egusi was very flavorful and the fufu paired well with it. However, the goat pepper stew was unimpressive. It was quite salty, for $15, the portion was also very small. There was a lot of fat attached to the small pieces of minimal meat provided. This place is very overpriced most likely due to limited Nigerian restaurant options in the area. I wanted to order jollof rice but saw it was $15.

I stopped by here yesterday with my wife for dinner. We had found African cuisine on Yelp after seeing groundnut stew being made on a number of different cooking competition shows recently. Even though they didn't currently have it, at least not that I could find, we still decided to give it a try. I ended up placing my order online for a future time and chose 5:15 PM. We arrived to the restaurant right around that time and our food was ready. All told I spent maybe 1 minute inside the restaurant and so I didn't get a good look around. For dinner on this evening my wife and I decided to split a number of different items. So we went with 1 Scotch Egg, 1 Chicken Pie, 1 Joll of Rice, 2 Puff-Puff, 1 Fufu and 1 Banga. I have to admit that I know very little about African cuisine and so I couldn't tell you if this was authentic or not and so I have to trust the other reviews saying that it is. So I can only tell you what I thought of it and what it tasted like for me. We first started off with the chicken pie and scotch egg. Both were good and the more I ate of the scotch egg the more I liked the sausage while the chicken pie reminded me of a comforting pot pie. Up next was the banga which reminded me of spicy beef jerky stew. It had a really good spicy kick to it and it was close to the point where I thought it was too much and I can normally deal with 9 or 10 spice levels at most restaurants. Some of the meats in it reminded me of pot roast while others I couldn't identify. My wife wasn't a big fan of it due to an herb that she didn't like and so I ended up eating most of it myself over two of the fufu. Speaking of the fufu, it came wrapped in seran wrap and reminded me of mashed potatoes. It worked well with the banga as it cut the spice a bit and added a starch. Up next was the joll of rice which wasn't for me. I personally wasn't a big fan of the spices in it which seemed somewhat plain but my wife didn't seem to mind it and ate most of it. The beef that came with it had a decent flavor but was quite tough though. Last was the puff-puff which had a decent sweet taste to it. The texture on it was weird as it was dense and oily and while I didn't mind it, my wife didn't enjoy it. The bottom line for me is that we probably won't be back again in the future. This has nothing to do with the restaurant and food itself, it's just not to my wife or my palate. What I can say is that I am happy that I tried it and almost wish we had eaten in so that I could get some recommendations from the staff as well as understand a bit more about the food. read more

I'm always excited to try a local place with new cuisine, but a recent dinner here with my wife could have been better. First off, service was not good. Our server wasn't really paying attention to us and seemed to be on her phone behind the front counter most of the time. About 20 minutes after ordering, I went over to ask her if we would be getting our appetizer before our main dishes. It seemed like she had forgotten, she said she would go check, and turns out they had been ready for a while. The food was a mixed bag. The menu has no details and, like most white people, we had no idea what the names of each dish meant. I know, it's our own fault, but we could really have used some explanation! And our server just didn't seem interested in talking to us. Without any help, we were kind of playing the lottery. My wife's dish (Egusi - melon stew) actually ended up tasting delicious! It had tender pieces of bone-in chicken in a thick, very rich stew. But my dish (Ila Asepo - okra stew) had beef tripe. If you haven't heard of it, Google it, but I hadn't and let's just say I didn't really like it. Another server--a younger guy--explained what it was and kind of poked fun at me for not liking it because it's not something Americans eat. Very fair! But I still would have preferred to order something else. Maybe things would have been better if he had been our server from the start. We also got a few pieces of beef as a side dish. They were pretty good but very chewy and came in a mildly spicy red sauce (although it was very oily). For an appetizer, we got a meat pie and a chicken pie. Both were wrapped in rich, delicious dough. Unfortunately, there was about a teaspoon of filling in each - not very substantial. Finally, the cassava was a good starch for mixing with the stew. Fufu is a smooth cassava (like mashed potatoes) and Eba is flaky cassava (the brown rice of cassava). read more

Ooooh, my. I've been waiting to try this place and finally my partner and I cracked open the menu. Immediately we were overwhelmed and not sure what to get. I tried to reference the previous reviews , but there were only 6. We ordered over the phone and said we wanted these items, according to the menu names/-descriptions: -Fufu (smooth cassava meal) -Eko tutu (Agidi) -Moimoi (spicy cooked bean cake sandwich) -Chicken pie (Dough stuffed with ground beef, potato, peas, carrot & spices) -Groundnut stew (Peanut stew) -Two Scotch eggs (Fried boiled egg coated with sausage) -Egusi stew (Melon soup) The person took our order on the phone and said pick up in 30 min. This was a Friday night, around 8pm. They were out of FISH ROLLS and only had one chicken pie left. The FUFU - $4.99 was wrapped in saran-wrap, about the side of a big fist and was like a doughy, potatoey lump. I took the lump and pulled bite-sized pieces off it and dipped it into the stews (Egusi and Groundnut) to cut the spice and flavor the starchy carb. This is how you eat fufu, you dip it into the stews you order. One order of fufu was more than enough for two people's stews. We had some leftover. EKO TUTU - $2, was very similar to the fufu in that it's starchy, but had more of a very slight tanginess to it. The texture almost like gelatin with a slight grit to it. It's like cornstarchy cold pudding. I liked the fufu more for a starchy carb taste, but the texture of the Eko tutu was easier to cut with a fork to eat. It's often eaten with a spicy condiment, which I'll have to try next time. Apparently, this is more often eaten as a breakfast item. I wouldn't order it again now, knowing this. MOIMOI - $3.99 Moimoi is a Nigerian steamed bean pudding cake made with beans, onions, red peppers. YUM! This was so delicious and spicy! Slightly seafoody in flavor. I loved it! EGUSI STEW - $9.99 Melon Soup? It was very savory, green, spicy, a tad fishy, wonderfuly flavorful. I have no idea what kind of meat was in it, but I believe it was fish. Something super duper chewy. There were little fishbones in it. YUM. Would order again. Be sure you order the fufu to dip into the stew! I recommend it! GROUNDNUT STEW - $9.99 Peanut stew. It was very savory, spicy, creamy. It had meat in it, too, maybe some sort of fish jerky in it? It was ridiculously chewy. Whatever it was, my partner and I didn't care because it was delicious. I would recommend it, again, with fufu. CHICKEN PIE - $3.00 each. Just okay. SCOTCH EGG -$2.50 My partner was so excited about how good these were. I agreed, they were very tasty. Fried boiled egg coated with sausage. We ate them first. So good! There are so many things on the menu to try. I know they're new and still getting their feet on the ground. I hope they stick around. They're a great addition to Squirrel Hill. Explore and enjoy this woman-owned business! read more

Wasn't sure what to expect coming here . The shawarma is pretty safe if you don't want spicy or exotic food (Greek ones are better though). The chicken pie was also pretty good but on the small side. Couple disappointments: the shawarma wrap had thin shards of aluminum foil embedded in the wrap and that's not ok. I think they cut it in half after wrapping the whole thing and that was the issue. Also the chicken pie is ground chicken I guess because there was no way to tell it was in there. read more

Hubby and I decided to be adventurous for dinner tonight. We couldn't get through by phone to ask questions before ordering, so we googled things we were unfamiliar with and put in a GrubHub order for pickup. It was ready 45 minutes later on a busy weekend night. Win: The akara (3 pieces) and meat pie (1 palm-sized piece) came home piping hot and delicious. Near-miss: I ordered the okra stew knowing the vegetable's slimy reputation; if green had a smell/flavor, this would be it. Tolerable with the fufu (pounded cassava--looks, tastes, and functions rather like mashed potatoes), but I would try something else next time. I ate half the fufu and saved the other half as leftovers. Warning: The groundnut stew has meat in it (beef?) and is SPICY. Thank goodness the order of white rice was generous enough to cut some of the heat. Everything was well-packaged and some items were labeled, which we appreciated. Prices are more than fair, so we will come back to enjoy more Nigerian food, right here in Squirrel Hill. read more

Decent food. I've only tried a few African spots in Pittsburgh, and this has been on the less delicious side. Still, it was very decent food. And, many of the food items were unique, so it's nice to have spots like this in the area. I ordered the beef meat pie, puff puff (3 of them), and akara bean 'cake.' My favorite of the items were the delicious puff puffs. If you want a nice, chewy, donut-like snack, then this is the food for you. It was not too oily and very cheap, at a dollar for each of the dough balls. The inside as fluffy. Not too flavorful. I would have enjoyed it more with a dusting of sugar; then, it would serve as a nice dessert. The Akara was interesting. It seemed to have little bits of vegetables included within this bean cake. I was surprised by the level of spice and flavor included in this small patty. It was on the greasier side as well, but also quite inexpensive at just $1.50. Finally, the meat pie was not very good. It was thick in breading and extremely dry. Not just the breading was dry, but the meat itself was as well. It was not very flavorful but did have a little bit of vegetables included as well. Small portion size for the price. All in all, I was not the biggest fan of the food. The portions were quite food and dry, and the flavors were not particularly good. I have not tried many African foods, but there are much better places in Pittsburgh. Definitely try Fabs, it's got similar food but much better quality. read more

If you're looking for the worst restaurant in Pittsburgh, your search has ended. The food was terrible, the 'service' was worse, the ambiance screams, "This used to be an entirely different restaurant!" My wife and I took our cousin out for his birthday. Every year we find a great new restaurant and up until now we were batting a thousand. When we walked in we were greeted by no one, just a completely empty dining room on a Tuesday night. We waited a while then walked around looking for some sign of life. We were spotted by a woman sitting in a booth in the back of the room. She seemed confused and asked us what we wanted. We told her we had reservations and she eventually found someone to seat us. Our waiter had an odd attitude and barely knew the menu. Regardless we ordered fresh fish stew, goat meat, fufu, ewedu, fried dodo, a puff and a bottle of wine. First we were given the wine. Not that it was the biggest inconvenience, but opening the bottle was left to us which is somewhat awkward sitting in a booth. The food came out quickly, which was another red flag. The fufu was still in cling wrap and apparently microwaved. Ultimately it was the best item we had. We received four pieces of goat meet in a pretty mediocre sauce. One of the pieces was just a large chunk of fat. It was all tough and ultimately not so great. The 'fresh' fish was 1 and 1/4 pieces out of a can, stone cold, filled with bones in the same sauce as the goat. I honestly felt ill after I took a bite. I've never had ewedu, so I can't be sure if it's supposed to be a tepid bowl of mucus glop, but we all found it extremely unappetizing. The dodo wasn't plantains, it was just some bananas with bell pepper strips and the 'puff' was anything but and our cousin couldn't even bite through it. Our waiter never returned to check on us, I can only assume he knew exactly the experience we were having. Throughout our meal some guy was wandering around the dining room on his phone. I can't be sure if he worked there, he was still wandering around when we left. The portions alone were hilariously overpriced without accounting for inedibility. Ultimately they removed the fish and the puff and apologized, but that's all the concession we received. Don't eat here. Don't walk in here. I truly have never had such a terrible experience in a restaurant. read more

This was my first time trying African food, and it was amazing! We had the egusi and spinach with fufu, as well as the Joll of rice with plantains. All of it was delicious, and the staff were incredibly nice and helpful! They taught us how to eat it correctly. Had a great time! read more

I was so excited to hear that this African spot had opened up in Pittsburgh! I was born in Nigeria and lived there for 13 years and so West African cuisine is the most nostalgic of all. We used my parents' anniversary as an excuse to gorge ourselves on takeout and we loved it! The moi moi (bean cake) was lovely (could be a tiny bit more flavoured and I missed the boiled egg that is steamed into it at Buka in NYC where I live). The egusi (melon/pumpkin seed stew) was fantastic. The suya (spicy grilled meat) was exactly right. The ila asepo (okra stew) was wonderful. The jollof rice was good. The ewa aganyin (black-eyed bean stew) was a little on the sweet side. The fufu (pounded cassava) and puff puff (fried dough) were both good. I wanted a bit more hot peppa in everything but I get that we have to Americanize things in America. Maybe we should have asked for hot sauce on the side?

What a joke with this place. I tested them again and i called to order and they told me it would be ready in half hour. 45 minutes later, not ready and wasn't even prep. Same bullshit, we just opened and food needs to thawed so not fresh, I really don't know how they're still in business. I will test them again. I think they smoke too much ganja. Those that post positive reviews for this are the owners to make themselves look good. These people don't care about you. Their videos inside the restaurant are so pornographic.

Great food, service and people! BRING YOUR LOVED ONES!!! I've been there with friends and family several times!

I've never tried African cuisine before and am so happy we have such a unique restaurant in Pittsburgh! I knew NOTHING about African food and our waiter was more than happy to guide us through and recommend a few of his favorites. I loved the excitement of not knowing what the expect and everything turned out delicious. In addition, they have a large TV with a slideshow of the whole menu with pictures which was great for first timers like myself. The fufu here is a must and definitely do eat it with your hands! They even had a portable sink located right next to us to wash our hands). Fufu is eaten with stew so I opted for the spinach one (eforiro) because all the other ones were spicy. I have a very sensitive tongue to spice, and it was mild for me. My friend got the banga stew which was delicious too. This stew was bold and the spices were more prominent. Definitely a bit spicier than the spinach stew too. It almost reminded me of a tiki masala flavor. Unfortunately, a lot of the dishes here are pretty spicy so it may be difficult to try a variety if you're sensitive like me. I'll definitely be back to try more foods! read more

Love the food here it's the best. Eguzi Soup and Jollof rice. Also good is the Palm nut soup.

I was happy to see an African cuisine in the area. Not quite knowing what to expect, I tried their eforiro and fufu. The eforiro is a spinach stew with dried fish, tripe and turkey. It has a fishy taste to it. I liked it, but didn't quite want a whole meal of it. Next time I would get a few dishes and share with people instead. The waitress was very friendly and explained everything to us. To eat the fufu, you dip your fingers in a bowl of water then break it up in bits, then dip it in the stew. It was a bit hard to pick up the spinach and meat with just the fufu. I ended up using a fork and putting the fufu directly in the stew. The stew was also on the spicy side. Overall I was very pleased with the experience. I would come back and try other things on the menu. read more

The food was delicious. Overall, the food tasted like home cooked food, the heavy, hearty comfort food kind. Went into food coma after. Had to unbutton my jeans (wear loose fitting pants or comfortable clothing you'd wear for thanksgiving when you come to this restaurant - you're welcome). The menu is a little confusing especially if you are new to Nigerian and West African food. I wish there were descriptions under each dish and that the menu was better organized. The head chef is an incredibly hospitable, friendly lady and she explained the menu to us. Basically you can customize your meal, which has three components - starch, meat and vegetable stew. Here's what we got: - Puff Puff This is a snack. Could be a dessert. Deep fried dough. Kind of like a donut but much less fluffy and more dense. It was yummy. Would be great with a chocolate dipping sauce (not sure how authentic that would be though). - Chapman It's like a non-alcoholic punch. But you could make it alcoholic if you bring your own booze. - Fu Fu This was one of the starchy dishes we picked to go with the meat and stew dishes. It is a dense dough. Served as a large ball of dough, you have to use your fingers to pull apart small pieces. - Goat meat Flavors were good but the meat was quite chewy. - Steak/Beef meat Again, the flavors were good but it was also a bit chewy. - Groundnut soup Pretty good curry with dried fish, peanut base and meat pieces. It was delicious, rich. - Egusi Delicious savory flavors. This stew also had dried fish and meat pieces in it. - Dundu Best eaten when hot and freshly made. Delicious. Another option for starch aside from fu fu. Overall, the food was good. The restaurant is a nice addition to the restaurant scene in Pittsburgh. Heavy, flavorful, comfort food. read more

The first time I went here I was on a date. Rarely have I waited so long for water. The waitress was impossible to get ahold of since she was waiting in the back room. Eventually another employee seemed to question if we had been served and got her. We loved the chicken drumsticks. We did not love the oxtail. I came back months later to get more of the chicken drumsticks for my boyfriend. I was in a rush to pick him up from somewhere and I was assured they would be ready in 20 minutes. I said okay, I'll be across the street. I got my eyebrows done and came back. I came back to a completely empty restaurant and waited for 8 minutes to even see someone. Everyone was hiding out in the back room. The man said he had not made my food because sometimes people order and don't pick it up? By that policy takeout would be impossible for most people. He said he still had to take the chicken out of the freezer and it wouldn't be ready for a while longer. By that point I had to go. I would come back for the chicken if the service improves, because apparently for takeout, you have to stay inside. read more

I have been wanting to try African Cuisine for such a long time, and I finally met up with one of my friends who had been wanting to try it as well! When you walk in, do not be expecting anything extravagant, but the food here is absolutely unbelievable! We asked our waiter what he recommended, and he recommended the Jollof Rice, the Goat meat, Fufu, and Eforiro. The jollof rice was super flavorful and came with tons of rice and a good portion of meat. I ate the fufu with the eforiro, and this was my favorite by far. The eforiro stew came with tons of meat and vegetables and was jam packed with flavor. The fufu soaked up all of the stew and filled up with flavor, I literally could not stop eating this. Lastly, the goat meat was served separate with no carb to accompany it, so I would definitely order some extra fufu (and because it is just amazing). The goat meat was super tender, and came in a nice tomato based sauce that had a little spice to it, but nothing that was unbearable. I definitely recommend checking this place out if you have never had African food before! It is definitely an amazing restaurant, and the employees are super friendly and have amazing recommendations! read more

Was really craving joll of rice so we stopped by here. Overall a pretty large selection of food. Not crazy busy around dinner time and seems like people come here for take out. Everything came out very quickly just because kg was pretty empty. They have little sinks to wash your hand before you eat by the tables. The joll of rice came with beef which was tough but flavorful. The rice was good but it's much less flavorful and spicy than what I'm used to. Would like it a lot more if they didn't take away the punch it normally has. Meat pie was a bit dry and also not as flavorful as I would've imagined. Fufu and Eforiro was good. Even though Eforiro is spinach, there were chunks of meat and even a bit of fishy taste to it. If I came back, I'd probably order out and request the joll of rice to be spicier if possible. read more
