And they brought out pickled veggies while we waited. The pickled green almond was a really nice and pleasant surprise. I could have just eaten that. Overall, phenomenal food!

I'm a vet when it comes to Nigerian food (from the village to the states to Canada to Europe, etc)…read moreand the food here is just OK. It isn't "amazing" nor outstanding, it's just typical nigerian food that you'd get at a nigerian party/event. I've definitely had much better. Not really worth the price. I ordered jollof rice with plaintain and chicken. The rice is decent. The stew is meh.. The chicken is the best part but the taste has Caribbean influence. It could pass for jamaican grilled chicken. Overall, if I'm in the area again and I have the £££ to blow/waste, i'll come back again.

New review from Nov 2019:…read more This is my second visit here and far more disappointing. The reason is the waiter/owner was grumpy and when I asked for a takeaway box for the moyin moyin he actually scowled! Wow. The moyin moyin is quite flavourful but the jollof rice is a real disappointment. I've had far better in Ghana. Two years ago: I popped into here for lunch around 1:30pm today and whilst the owner could have been friendlier in greeting me (a smile doesn't hurt ya know), I appreciated him coming outside the restaurant to hand me my takeaway food where I had waited in the lovely sun for my order. The interior is quite small with only a couple of tables with lovely African sculptures all around. There is chalkboard of specials along with the regular menu. Sadly the sweet potato balls were sold out so I got the moin moin and the spinach stew. All together less than a tenner. There are four pieces of moin moin, which are just deliciously savoury. I recommend eating them with the nonspicy spinach stew with melon seed, which, whilst not delicious, was tasty and filling. It would be perfect on a cold winter night. If I was in the area, I would return just for the moin moin!

It is both physically and emotionally upsetting. I will not guess at why they told me that the dish and perhaps all of the dishes were vegan. Perhaps they did not know the difference between vegan and vegetarian. It's better to ask or look it up than to tell someone that it's animal free when it is not. If you're a patient omnivore, you'll love it. If you like to know and consent to what you're eating before you eat it, do not order.
