The disrespect that's severed to employees is so distasteful and unappetizing! I visited during the art festival in Okc & the way they talked to the lady that was helping was so sad. I almost didn't eat there because of it. The food was okay at best but not enough that I would want to go back. Overpriced & served with a side of rudeness. How you treat your employees says a lot about how you run your business. I'm not at all interested in coming back here due to the harsh environment. So so sad, do better. read more

I loved the chicken, but they could most definitely work on their customer service. I ordered from their stand at the arts festival and was met with nasty attitudes as if they don't want customers. No one is asking for a smile but they outright looked angry. Also the portions were small for the price. (Edit after restaurant response: That was not the encounter I ordered the festival combo nothing was wrong with my order so you're thinking of another bad encounter you have with customers. Also I only said the chicken was good everything else was not. Thank you. ) read more

Culinary adventure! They are open more hours than are posted, so we drove by to check. We have been to their food truck several times, and it's exciting that they have opened a restaurant. If you don't know what to order, just ask for suggestions. They are very helpful! read more

Let's talk about this new Nigerian restaurant that opened up just two weeks ago. They used to be a food truck and I'm so glad things are looking up for them. The decor and cleanliness is great but just note that there's not much space to dine in, so be prepared to take your food on the go. The music and lovely colors all give it a great, modern, but cultural vibe. Service was fairly quick and very pleasant. We had the following: 1. puff puffs - fried bread/dough balls These are a bit oily for me but the texture is similar to a nice yeast donut, slightly thicker or dense on the inside and lightly sweet. Enjoyed it. 2. Samosas-fried pastry with seasoned ground beef + carrots These were super oily. I don't know if it's because it is cooked in oil that isn't piping hot or taken out to drain quickly. However, the flavors are on point and these are delicious! 3. Fried sweet plantains This is a family favorite. You can never go wrong with fried sweet plantains! 4. Meat pie - baked pastry filled with seasoned meat and veggies. This is typically a hit or miss at restaurants and I'm glad to say it's a winner here! Not dry, plenty of filling & good taste. 6. Goatmeat Ayilata + Rice. This was jollof rice with one piece of goat meat. For portion awareness, I would say the goat meat is about the size of my wife's fist. Now, if you've never met my wife, that wouldn't be helpful but let's say it may equal 2-3 chunks of meat. The meat itself went uneaten at our house. We tried to chew it and pull it apart from different angles and aside from it being stuck in our teeth to wage war, we lost the battle. However, the jollof rice was VERY good. So flavorful! We have missed jollof rice and now we know where to get it. This was the star, for sure. 7. Egusi stew with poundo yam swallow- Taste was good with the egusi. Nothing that wowed us. It seemed typical. My wife is always a fan of a good starch that she can eat with her fingers and dip into stew. Now, let's talk about the ONLY concern we have. The rice platter should have had plantains with it but we didn't see any with the platter. Not a big deal since we ordered a separate side container of plantains. The container though wasn't fully packed to the brim. We got 7 pieces of plantains and paid $5! (For context, I just bought a plantain from the grocery store this week for 79 cents.) I'm ok with the $5 if the container was completely packed. What was even more crazy was that the stews and soups like egusi are $25 and you'd think it's a good portion. Unfortunately you can't tell in the picture but the container is very small. What you'd get as a side dish at some restaurants, maybe 5 inches in diameter? I have to be honest, the prices for some of the portions seem very excessive, but I am a fair believer in supporting new restaurants & I encourage others to go check it out. I just worry that if you start off so expensive and it doesn't match the portions, you could lose customers quickly. Even $15 for the stews and soups would be pricey but in a much better range to be justified. And when you're a new restaurant, please don't skimp out! Fill those containers, so people believe they are getting what they paid for. I know we struggle with inflation but it impacts customers and businesses alike. Just a small word of advice. We're happy to see more African cuisine in our city, so we're cheering you on! We hope to be back and try other items on the menu soon. read more

The food was so flavorful and delicious!! We were so hungry that I did not get a picture but we had the combo plate with jolaf rice, chicken, samosa, spring roll, puff puff, and added an order of the goat meat. You have to try this place but be prepared they do not have dine-in, only to go or catering. read more

Very Disappointed for what they charge. Food was old and cold. The chicken was tough and overcooked.

All round great service and good food, highly recommend the jollof rice and abula. Will definitely be back for more.
