    There's something about this place and sharing the experience with Africans (Sierra Leone and Zimbabwe) that makes it magical! Hosting my adopted family member and his best friend was already a treat. However, we unanimously decided to share a meal and instinctively ended up here. Great flavor, friendly service, and a festive environment as a Steppin' event was occurring! Watching everyone dance and have fun made it even more enjoyable. Absolutely recommend trying this, especially if you're a fan of African cuisine!!!

    I haven't been here in over 3 years .They have maintained quality and consistency over the years. Hands down they are the best place to get Egussi in all of North East Ohio. I happened to be in the area on a Saturday afternoon, the atmosphere was vibrant. The dj was playing for a steppers set. They do this every third Saturday. I was with my husband and we danced to a Couple songs and enjoyed our meal. We will be back with friends a great date night.

    I'm from west Africa so visiting this Nigerian restaurant brought back memories from home. I was very excited to visit. A friend treated me to dinner which was very nice. NIGERIAN FOOD (5/5) -- I ordered and shared the Egusi soup and Eba with a fellow Yelper, Angelo. My friend and fellow Yelper Gabby ordered lamp chops with jollof rice. We all also ordered meat pie to share. Everything tasted absolutely delicious. I really loved their Egusi soup with Eba. It was VERY authentic and it tasted the same as it would in Nigeria. It had the melon seeds and leafy vegetables in them. I recommend this meal to anyone. SERVICE -- Excellent. The waiter er had is a friendly man who is originally from a country in West Africa and he spoke French. The restaurant wasn't too busy when my friends and I arrived (we did arrive earlier for dinner though, around 4:30pm). They play African music and they have a small bar as you walk in. I only rate this restaurant a 4/5 rating because I hardly give 5/5 ratings until I've been to a particular establishment many times. Since I've only been here once and I have not tried a majority of the food options, a 4/5 rating is fair to me. Overall, I will be definitely be back here because they offer authentic Nigerian/West African food. **** - 74/150 total reviews in 2023 - 625 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 25 June 2023

    Great place to experience African food. Spacious enough to seat 150 to 200 people. You will enjoy great African music as well. Prices are moderate.

    Vegan Pie

    I was looking for something new to try and came across this place. I do not eat meat so all my dishes were veg friendly. The man behind the bar was fantastic. He was kind and helpful. Our food came out fresh and very hot. The portion sizes are large. The prices are comparable to other restaurants. They offer a full bar menu as well. The veggie pie reminded me of an empanada. It was very good. Most of the dishes could be served vegan. They do offer a few specific vegan dishes to ease the vegan mind. The dishes all appeared to be a bit greasy, but that might be related to the style of cooking. Over all, they flavors were well balanced and tasted really good.

    Fun experience, amazing food, and great service. Flavors were so vibrant and delicious, the lamb was tender and fufu was amazing

    Incredibly tasty. I enjoyed this food so much. Truly I can't believe I sat there that long and stuffed my face the way I did. I ate like a hungry goat. I ordered the Egussi with chicken. I had Eba (fufu) and Jollof rice. It was so delicious. The staff was very nice and the vibe was comfy. I'll definitely be returning with more friends! Oh and get the sauce on the side because baby, your bootyhole gone be on fire!

    This place is a hidden gem ! The food was delicious and so very authentic it brought me back to my days in West Africa! They're happy hour is delicious and the service was great. The ambience is inviting and looks like it accommodates a large group if need to be. I will definitely be coming back again.

    This place is a hidden gem. The restaurant has events most week days, which can be found on their social media pages. I went on a Wednesday for dinner. When you enter, note that it is seat yourself. I did so and waited for about 10 minutes before being greeted. It was 6 pm and the staff was still arriving so our server was also the main bartender. The menu is expansive and covers dishes mainly from west Africa and has European influence throughout. It's a bit confusing to read but any questions I had I asked the staff and they answered very nicely and willingly. I tried several dishes with plantains, jolif rice and fufu as starches. I would return to try more dishes! It's awesome that Cleveland has a restaurant that offers foods from West Africa, that's made by folks from there and that is owned by people from there. You should really give this place a try!

    See all

    They do not miss on flavor and presentation. Easily one of my top 5 restaurants in Greater Cleveland.
