    Drive from Shreveport, La every weekend just to eat here ! And Lola & the crew never misses the food and service is amazing!

    Hair in my food

    I was so excited to try fufu for the first time and this was a huge disappointment. If you're not Nigerian don't go there. Seems like they only cater to Nigerians. The food taste like it was left there for days... the goat taste rubbery and the chicken was so hard I could t even chew it. And to top it off there was a piece of hair in my food. So disappointed and I wish this was a good review but I just can't overlook this.

    I'm very impressed today I chopped Oha soup. They made very well full of meats you will not be disappointed.

    a plate of rice and meat

    The best authentic Nigerian restaurant in DFW. The jollof rice waa delicious. The plantain were well fried and not oily. The fish was tasty. I will go here anytime to enjoy a great afrucan meal. The meal was worth the price as well

    Whole fish and plantains.

    Best Nigerian food I've had since moving to Dallas. Had the yam porridge (asaro) and I've since come back to other meals on the menu.

    Love the food. Older lady that works counter is rude and not friendly. I get culture differences but she's rude.

    Their website says "open". I'm visiting and looking for African restaurants! Drove about 30 minutes to this restaurant and they were CLOSED!

    I tried their egushi soup and fufu and they did not disappoint. Just like I remember them in…read moreNigeria. They are halal as well. Nice low key place with friendly staff. I came late so it was a bit quiet but I preferred it that way. It was one of the highlights of my trip to Texas.

    Went to this Halal restaurant for the first time and the overall experience was not good!…read more First of all, their website listed on Google is not correct. It directs to an article about this restaurant on D Magazine website. Not sure why the owner has not noticed and corrected that yet. If there is no website then Google should not show it at all. It is just confusing to customers. Second, their restaurant menu is not up to date. Majority of the items under "Les Grillades," "A La Braise," and "Sauces" were not available. We were told by the server that they used to make it in the past but not anymore. If not anymore, again, why the menu is not up to date? Why wasting customer's time? There is a picture of a full grilled chicken with coleslaw on Google. When asked for it, we were told it is a "Pepper Chicken" that is only available during the day time and we also have to order in advance. We didn't see this item on the menu and not sure how customers will know about this item and when to order. Pure carelessness from the owner! For the food, we ordered "Meat Pie," "Benachin," and "Afra/Dibi" chicken. Meat pie was good but little expensive in my opinion. Afra/Dibi chicken was good as well and also came up with a decent portion. What I didn't like about it is that it only came with a bunch of onions and nothing else. No sides at all which I thought was little bizarre specially for the price they are charging. I did not like Benachin! Small portion, expensive, and tasted just okay. It was just a boiled meat with some rice and vegetable curry. Vegetable curry was good but rest of the dish was just okay. I don't recommend this dish. Their customer service was iffy. We were not checked upon in a timely manner. There was a short hair African American lady and her customer service was good. There was another African American lady and she definitely needs training on her customer service and attitude. She would barely come to the table and hardly answer any questions or try to help. Rest of the time I saw her behind the counter spending time on her phone! This restaurant only has bottled water and they charge for it. I may or may not come back to this restaurant in the future.

The vibe was nice. You must make a reservation! This is what I enjoyed: Side of Lamb chops: 10/10 tender, meaty, nice smoky and sweet flavor, well seasoned. Side of Mac and cheese: 6/10 a bit dry, needs a bit more seasoning, if both of these things were not an issue it would be perfect. Oxtails and jollof rice: 10/10 oxtails were full of flavor and enjoyable. They could have been a bit more tender. Overall the flavor carried it to a perfect 10. The rice is seasoned and a bit smokey and cooked to the perfect doneness. Table bread: 9/10 puff puff style bread. They were fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Brought out first and provided with every meal. It had a sweet seasoning mix on it. The mix to me was more for after dinner instead of right before the meal. Dusse mimosa: 10/10 nice and stout. I prefer Dusse over Hennessy which is what was on the menu. Jerk chicken: 10/10 flavorful wings. Jerk seasoning was there and not too spicy. Cooked just right and not dry. Collard greens: 6/10 savory flavor. I am a collard greens specialist and I prefer a sweet and hot profile. Although these are just savory they were cooked to the correct tenderness. Candied yams: 10/10 get blend of cinnamon and sweet flavor. Cooked perfectly.

For an appetizer, I started with the oxtail spring roll. I will say it leaned more toward a pot roast flavor because of all the cabbage and carrots inside. It didn't quite taste like oxtail or have much of the Jamaican flavor I was expecting, aside from the little bit of gravy served with it. For our meals, my friend ordered the Poundo Fufu with Egusi Soup and Beef, and I got the Jollof Rice with Stew Beef. The jollof rice was definitely some of the best I've had, really flavorful and the meat was tender and well done. The owner, Will, was very friendly and gave us some great recommendations for other dishes to try next time. If I'm ever back in Dallas, I would definitely stop by again.
