    Found this restaurant on Google. It was a bit hard to spot at first (driving at night). Placed my order over the phone - while there seemed to be a miscommunication in the beginning, the owner was very generous in resolving it and delivered great service overall. This time I just ordered a side of beans, and devoured it before I could snap a pic (oops!) But will definitely come back - the prices are reasonable as well. The dining area was quaint and inviting. With art celebrating cultural figures from Nigeria, you certainly will get the taste, sights, and sounds of Nigeria while here.

    This has actually been my worst experience at a food establishment in a very long time. My friends and I came here for Sunday lunch as we had heard good things about it. When we arrived, it was open seating. The space was small but it wasn't busy (just one table with four people) so there were plenty of open seats. We were three so we sat down. There was no menu in sight and no one had come to welcome us so we sat for a while. I decided to look at the menu online as I was pretty hungry. After about 10 minutes of waiting, a lady brought us three menus. Two of the three menus had corrected prices with tape over them, which was fine (inflation, duh?!). My friend and I wanted half efo and half eguisi. We asked the lady if that was possible, she said no. We then decided to get one efo and one eguisi to share both and then the lady said if we ordered it as two dishes, she could plate it as half and half, which was fine, not a big deal. Here is where the problem starts. My other friend asks for Abula (Amala) and she said she had no assorted meat. When asked what she has, she said only beef and turkey. She also told us that had ordered the efo and eguisi that she only had beef, turkey and fish at this point. She stated she was out of any assorted meat. My friend ordering the amala asked about three other dishes that the lady mentioned was out of stock. She eventually ordered the amala. My friend then asks to order fried yam and the lady proceed to mention and I quote 'I do not have time for that.' I promise you, we were too stunned to speak. When she saw us gasp, she mentioned she can make it but it will come after the food. My friend really wanted fried yam so she said it was fine if it came after the food. The lady at this point was extremely rude and short. She then mentioned that the yam was $10.99. On the tape corrected menu, the price of yam wasn't updated and was listed at $5.99. My friend declined the yam after finding out the price discrepancy. We waited for about 30 minutes. The lady brought out two plates of pounded yam and half efo, half eguisi. She then proceeded to tell my friend that ordered the amala that she did not have the stew and that she can give my friend yam porridge and it's nice that she will like it. At this point tbh, we were too stunned to speak. My friend who didn't get her food told her it was fine and she wasn't going to eat anything as she does not eat or like yam porridge. The lady insisted and said if she doesn't like the yam porridge that she doesn't have to pay for it. Again, my friend declined and said she did not want it. This lady tells my friend 'You know what, since I did not have what you ordered, I'll bring the yam porridge for free.' We didn't say anything since my friend had told her three times that she did not want a replacement and that she doesn't eat porridge. This lady proceeds to bring out the porridge and sets it in front of my friend. At this point, we start eating. The food was about a 2/5. We ordered turkey and beef and only got beef. The beef was inedible because it was too salty. Since my friend who ordered the amala doesn't eat porridge, my other friend and I tasted the porridge. It was good but drenched in oil. We ate less than half of our food. The lady brings the payment system and says the total amount. Turns out she charged us for the porridge that was forced on my friend on the premise of it being free. After we asked why she did that, she took it off the bill and since we were highly irritated, she offered us puff puff which we declined. I understand that she was the only one working the kitchen, serving and attending to customers. However, this model obviously affects her ability to communicate respectfully to customers, keep up with inventory and provide good quality food and value for customer's money, which is not beneficial to any business in the long run. I will not be returning.

    The beef was really tough but the chicken was great and so was the Jollof. The service was good and the restaurant was clean when I went there.

The interaction with one of the employees was unnecessarily rude and embarrassing, and it left a really bad impression.

The steak was supposed to be tender, but it was tough and chewy, and I only received three tiny pieces for a $10 steak add-on. I ordered my meal to go and didn't realize until I got home that my order was incorrect. I specifically ordered it with jollof rice, but I was given plain white rice instead. I tried to give the restaurant a chance to make things right by calling them. Instead of addressing my concerns, I was told they were busy and to call back in a few hours. That was frustrating, especially after spending $40 on a meal and an appetizer. Overall, the small portions, poor quality steak, incorrect order, and lack of immediate customer service made this one of the worst dining experiences I've had. Unfortunately, I won't be returning, and I can't recommend this restaurant based on my experience.

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!

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.

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.

Such a delicious meal in every single bite with each bite being full of moisture and consistency too. The drumsticks had a slightly crispy exterior, really tender flesh, very juicy to almost falling off the bone feel to them. They were cooked thoroughly without being dried or burnt. That spicy, oily red sauce was so aromatic with just enough kick to it. It wasn't creamy, but not too watery either. The Jollof rice was smoky, savory, buttery and a little spicy. The greens had a subtle ingredient in them and complimented the rest with some earthiness, while the plantains were like a mini dessert. The plantains were very good with a really soft, creamy texture, good warmth and natural sweetness. The service was very welcoming, friendly and efficient. This poultry dish is a real treat every time with every flavor profile in play satisfying multiple pallets.

The beef pie was the only item in my entire order that actually tasted good. My waitress informed me they were already out of several menu items which was surprising, given that I was there right at opening. Doesn't the kitchen prepare before service starts? I understand African cuisine isn't for everyone, but that's not why I'm leaving this review. My issue is with the service and the absurd wait time for my food. The beef plate, in particular, was disappointing the two pieces of beef were dry and could have been prepared far better.
