    Everything was good but disappointed that they serve rice and not fufu. Overall a 7-10.

    I wanted to try out Nigerian food. However, my initial encounter made me realized that my palette…read moredid not agree with crayfish but loved everything else. The first place I tried had all of the food premade so I was not able to substitute. I was so bummed. Then, I found this little gem! This place was able to cater the food to my liking and it was fantastic!!! They make everything fresh so you can make the food fit to your taste buds. I was able to get my orders with no crayfish and spicy! Being Vietnamese, I know that sometimes what your culture likes does not fit with other people's taste- ie fish sauce. Thus, I am happy they didn't judge when I said "hold the crayfish." I got fufu, okra & beef stew, and tomato stew with oxtail. Wow!!! I had extra for 2 more meals! Definitely coming back!

    im glad i finally got to try nigerian food! ive always wanted to explore diff cuisines and luckily,…read morethis place isnt far from me! we ordered fufu + egusi + beef, and two orders of jollof rice + plantains + chicken! i would def come back to get the jollof rice and chicken again. that spicy tomato taste in the rice was yummy & flavorful! chicken was also tender and juicy. and the plantains were caramelized and provided a nice sweetness. service was good! wish there was a better way for the pick up. i placed the order inside the gas station and was waiting around for it to be done but if we could maybe leave a phone number and be notified when its ready, that would be much easier!

    Been wanting to try Ethiopian food for the longest time and finally got the chance to! We ordered…read morethe beef and veggie combo platter. It says it feeds 2 people but honestly this could've easily fed 4 people. We had a good amount of leftovers. The beef and veggies on the platter were delicious! They were all well seasoned, flavorful and tender. The only thing my flavor palette couldn't get used to was the sourness of the injera. It's supposed to have a slightly sour flavor from the ingredients that it's made with. It's healthy though! Has a lot of probiotics and fiber. Service was excellent. He was kind and attentive. Our server was the only one working and all of the tables were full. The restaurant is a bit on the smaller end, with about 10-12 tables. It can get packed quickly since this place is popular. There is parking out front in a shared lot with other businesses. Would recommend if you've been curious about trying!

It was a bit stuffy inside and they had the door open with a fan on. Went with the Beef and Veggie combo. Really delicious food. I asked for chilis, hot sauce or something spicy. They had some spices and warned me to put a little on the plate and dab. And yes, it was really spicy. But added a different flavor profile. The mother and son are really nice and explained everything. Would definitely try it out again.

    Seems like a super underrated spot! To the point I don't know if I want to add to the dazzling…read morereviews because we felt spoiled having the chef almost to ourselves on a Sunday lunch time. We had lunch/brunch here and had an amazing experience! Andrew was such a spectacular server and even brought a great white wine to go with my ceviche. He accommodated to our party which had children and just provided just such a great experience for my parents 40th anniversary brunch. The menu has a lot of variety without being overwhelming or excessive (I don't trust restaurants that have too much on their menu lol). I ordered oysters, which were on the small side but the flavors they placed on top were amazing. I followed with an entree of ceviche which was generous, DELICIOUS, and nourishing. Our table ordered an array of items: Portuguese scramble, Shakshuka, Hugo's rotos con Jamon, the branzino, breakfast pizza, Italian breakfast sandwich, French toast- each one exceeding all expectations. Playlist was repetitive but fun for me, a millennial drinking mimosas and white wine lol.

Once we were seated, he came over and asked us what we would like to drink and suggested making a special beverage and it was delicious! Food was good and our server was very attentive and took great care of our party of 8. My favorite dish of the night was my hamachi collar bone! It was light and the watermelon salad was refreshing. The reason for the 4 stars was the pricey drink prices and they boxed up our chicken but somehow mixed it up and we came home with a dessert instead!

    I was looking for a restaurant with a great view and came across this place. When I called to make…read morea reservation, they told me the upstairs area was already booked for a private party, so unfortunately, the view wasn't going to be available. I decided to go anyway, and I'm honestly so glad I did! When you first arrive, they have valet parking, which was okay. The parking lot is pretty small. Walking in, there are these beautiful exotic birds that immediately caught my attention. They were so gorgeous! We were greeted and seated right away. Our server was super nice, friendly, and attentive throughout our visit. The restaurant was also very clean. Now, the food was SO good! I tried a little bit of everything, and honestly, I had no complaints. The sangria I ordered was phenomenal. You could tell it was made correctly because it didn't have that harsh alcohol taste. It was smooth, refreshing, and not overly sweet. The burger was juicy and delicious, the calamari was fresh and so good, and the mac & cheese was also really tasty. Everything we tried was delicious. Even though I didn't get to experience the upstairs view, I'm so glad I still decided to come. I had such a great experience and definitely can't wait to come back and try more!

The nice man behind us in line was extremely patient when I took forever to figure out what I wanted. Super friendly environment. Definitely going to come back again!

    I've really wanted to like this place more…read more I don't usually give bad reviews, especially to small local businesses but here we are. I came here because I've been wanting to try Nigerian food for the longest time. I ordered through doordash their beef egusi that came with fufu. It was about $28 for one portion. They put the beef on the side and it was dry AF. The flavor was okay but it was difficult to swallow since it was so dry. The egusi unfortunately had a strong fishy smell to it that was off putting. The fufu was probably the best thing there. I also gave some to two other girls to try and they felt the same. Unfortunately I was very disappointed in everything and didn't even finish my meal. That is rare for me. I also didn't like that when I came my order wasn't ready. I think they didn't even see my order. This place is small and casual. The two ladies working there were nice. The foods look pre-made. They also sell some grocery items in store. There is a few tables and chairs inside and outside. It's located in a business area by the round about.

I ordered their fufu combo which comes with egisu, goat meat (there are other options if you wanted something else), and fufu. I wanted Eba as well but they didn't have anymore. Instead they gave me an extra fufu. The Egisu was really good! It made me so happy to enjoy this lol. The spices were wonderful and not overpowering. The fufu was smooth and doughy. The goat complemented all the other components really well. The only downside were the hidden chunks of bone in the meat. I crunched down pretty hard and was shocked that I didn't see it coming. Otherwise the food was amazing and I'd order it again! Also got fried plantains and they were a nice way to complement the meal.

The egusi was amazing and the fufu ball was perfect consistency, light and moist, a wonderful cloud to accompany your egusi. The egusi was my favorite, but the rice, fish and plantains were good too. There are plenty of tables, seating and parking. I loved the small but private parking lot. There is pretty are on the walls and a TV playing if you want entertainment. The ambiance is peaceful and tasteful. Service was kind and friendly. There was a man who was very helpful and considerate of our lack of knowledge. He made recommendations and we asked for low spice--and the spice level was perfect in the egusi! The egusi had just enough spice for flavor but not too much to ruin out meal for us (spice wimps!). We are thankful. This weekend we were just passing Long Beach, but we will definitely return again, looking forward to more Nigerian food - worth the trip just for the food.
