    Beef Egusi Stew Jollof Rice
    Quiana G.

    The beef was a little dry and tough and I picked spicy for the egusi and the separate order of Jollof wasn't spicy either. I ordered it on UberEats but wasn't impressed perhaps it's better in person.

    Efo Riro (Vegetable Stew) with White Rice
    Awele M.

    Food family!! This is by far one of the best Nigerian places I have been to in Houston. First and foremost the food is fresh and flavorful. The portions are definitely worth the price. I ordered this through Uber eats, I ordered the rice and efo riro and it was absolutely delicious! The real star of the show is that meat pie!! That meat pie is to die for! Hands down the best meat pie I have ever eaten. So buttery and flakey! Anytime I'm in Houston I will make sure I go in person to get the full experience. Highly recommend this restaurant.

    Poundo (pounded yam)
    Josh S.

    Was hankering for some Nigerian food tonight so ordered from Dupsy's Kitchen which recently opened and operates out of the ghost kitchen concept in Blodgett Food Hall (i.e. it is not a sit down restaurant). I had some egusi stew (a stew thickened with dried and ground melon seeds) that included spinach, collard greens, red pepper purée, cow skin, tripe, crawfish, and palm oil. Also present was peppered chicken and the obligatory poundo (pounded yam). I may not be a Nigerian food expert, but this also wasn't my first rodeo, so I can attest that the food and its flavor were excellent. The only drawback was that it wasn't very spicy, which is something I normally encounter and expect with Nigerian food. Regardless, I look forward to ordering again in the future to sample some of the other stews (designer, efo riro, beef) as well as other traditional Nigerian dishes like jollof rice, fried plantains, meat pies.

    Egusi Stew with Poundo & Peppered Chicken (2 pieces)

    Tasted like home cooking. The Egusi Stew and the Peppered Chicken is bomb! The pounded yam (poundo) was smaller than I'd like. Would need two to go with the meal next time because I have a lot of stew left over. The meat pie had a buttery crust and the filling was very flavorful. Not a restaurant but part of a food hall. Order food at a digital kiosk and the wait was only 20 mins! I hate when Nigerian food spots take hours!

    Delicious cuisine once again! Goat stew and peppered chicken! I am loving African food! Yummmmyyy

    The food wasn't flavorful at all very bland , the chicken was tough, Clementine was very amazing though and also I loved the fufu and the sauce that the chicken was in

    The food took way too long to be prepared. Our shrimp was burned. Flavors were good but the portion sizes could've been bigger.

    I placed a pickup order through DoorDash yesterday at 5:31pm and never received any food. When we…read moregot there at 6:00pm the owner said they were closed due to a catering order and that he canceled the order on DoorDash even though it said on the app that it wasn't, we went back and showed him and he assured us it wasn't canceled and then drove off. When I woke up this morning and checked DoorDash it said that the order was picked up at 7:37pm and my card was charged $60, which is honestly too much for 2 soups and 2 appetizers. Also on top of that the location was sketchy, had no visible signage, and was dirty. Would not recommend this place at all if I could give negative stars I would.

I shared the fufu with egusi soup with stewed goat added, the Stewed Hen, Moin Moin, & Jollof Rice, and the meat pie with a friend and it was plenty for both of us. The fufu with egusi soup was super delicious with a spicy kick that I loved (7/10) . The plate was the star of the meal. Everything from the stewed hen, to the rice, to the greens were all so well seasoned and I truly enjoyed every bite (8.5/10). The meat pie was also delicious with a savory filling and the pastry was thick and buttery but surprisingly not overbearing considering the pastry to filling ratio (8/10). Overall the food was awesome and seemed quite authentic. Would definitely come back to support this small local business!

Overall, I found the food to be very flavorful, well seasoned, and unique. My daughter and I actually ended up liking each other's meals more than our own, so we switched plates, which worked out well. We also ordered a few extra items, including wings and yams. The pounded yam was interesting and very different from anything I usually eat. It is probably not something I would go out of my way to order again, but I am glad I tried it and now understand a little better how it is eaten. The one disappointing part of the visit was the ordering experience. The young man who rang us up was polite, but he was unable to make any recommendations. He said he had been working there for about three months and still could not really suggest what to order. For someone like me, who is unfamiliar with this type of food, recommendations would have been very helpful. I would have appreciated some guidance on the most popular dishes, common choices, or what first-time customers usually enjoy. That said, the owner was extremely kind. She came out to our table, spoke with us, and helped explain how to eat some of the food we had ordered. I really appreciated that. She came across as a very sweet person, and based on her hospitality alone, I would come back to support the business. This style of food may not personally be my cup of tea or something I will crave often, but I respect the flavor, the care, and the local business behind it. I would give Bantu House four stars. It could have been closer to 3.5 for me personally, mostly because of the lack of ordering guidance, but the owner's kindness and the quality of the food pushed it to four.

Now if there's a patio, you already know where you're going to find me!

I'm still checked on and given the same attention as if I were sitting inside. Patio people matter too! Lol The **Ikoyi Shrimp and Coconut Chicken Bites** are favorites for us. They're seasoned and cooked so well, and honestly, you could probably point at something in the Small Chops section and walk away happy.

Every bite was packed with so much flavor. I would definitely order this again! 3. Greens & Tings: This had a very smoky flavor, and the chicken was incredibly soft, tender, and tasty. Overall, I'm glad I got to try this restaurant, especially since it was my first time having West African cuisine.

We placed our order online and arrived about 30 minutes later for pickup. The restaurant was extremely busy with takeout and delivery orders, so we ended up waiting an additional 30 minutes after arriving. The atmosphere was definitely hectic, with staff constantly moving in and out and diners packed throughout the restaurant, but I can confidently say the wait was worth it. My sister and I ordered the half egusi and half efo combo, and it was more than enough food for both of us. This was only my second time trying authentic Nigerian food, and it has quickly become one of my favorite cuisines. I loved the bold blend of spices, the rich and comforting flavors, and the perfect level of heat. The meats could have been cooked a little longer since some pieces were slightly tough and chewy, but the flavor was still incredible. The fufu (pounded yam) was silky smooth and absolutely addictive. It was the perfect vessel for soaking up every bit of the soups. Overall, despite the long wait and chaotic atmosphere, the food completely delivered. If you are looking for flavorful and authentic Nigerian cuisine, this spot is definitely worth trying.
