He noticed this one and headed straight for it. I kind of hunh back knowing that Nigerian food is spicy, and spicy and I don't get along. I ordered a meal of beans and plantain with chicken. My husband ordered lamb and jollof rice. He took one bite and tears came up in his eyes. I was afraid maybe he'd burnt himself on the spiciness but when I asked him he said he may be ruined for any spiced me dinner From Here On Out. This is simply the best. Knowing that Nigerian food is spicy, remember that the mild is still spicy. It's just mildly spicy. My dinner was mildly spicy and very very pleasant. . The Curry is excellent. My husband decided that even though I really don't like spicy food I just had to try some so he took a very tiny bit of meat and onion and gave it to me and, yes, it's very very spicy but there is a depth of Flavour in that spiciness that is absolutely yummy. I give my highest recommendation for this restaurant. The service might seem a little slow but your food is being made from scratch. And it tastes it.

It isn't "amazing" nor outstanding, it's just typical nigerian food that you'd get at a nigerian party/event. I've definitely had much better. Not really worth the price.

I started off with a glass of wine from South Africa. Their wine list and cocktails have South African influence. Price was £7 - £9 for a glass of medium level wines. I was recommended the prawn skewers, cous cous salad and a lamb with apricot skewer. My personal favourite was the prawn skewers. The chefs have peeled the bodies beforehand but left it's head and tail shell intact. It was served with some rocket salad and two difference sauces (in a separate sauce plate) to complement the heat and spice from the prawns. I did not think the separate sauces were that important as I did enjoy the prawns and rockets together. I do like sucking prawn heads, and oh boy, it was juicy. The prawn was well cooked. Loved the combination of chilli in it. It was very tasty and spicy. I must say that £12 for 4 pieces of prawns might be a little steep for a lunch meal. The lamb skewer I had apparently was something new they are about to add their list of sosaties. It definitely smelled good as it was served. On the skewers were about 8 chunks of lamb meat, 6 pieces of apricot and 5 pieces of onions. Juices from the apricot burst into your mouth as you chewed on the fruit. The lamb was also juicy, well seasoned and succulent. It didn't have any bad smell to it, so I thought it was a dish well done. Cous cous salad was refreshing. It came with generous serving of rocket leaves, raisins, pine nuts, cheese and some slices of freshly baked crusty bread. The dessert was fantastic although I must admit I did not see the South African influence in it. I had the dark chocolate mousse served with blackberry compote, yogurt and pumpkin seeds. I spoke to Mark, person in charge when I visited, about this and was told the dessert will be taken off the menu. So the restaurant is definitely taking some positive steps to serving better food and improving the menu. Overall happy with my food here

Having said that, I thoroughly enjoyed the Kenkey and Tilapia. For those who don't know, Ghanian food tends to be eaten with your hands.

The injera itself was also a treat with a lovely big portion to ensure you end up at 11pm a few hours later still full. My only negative comment which may be blasphemous for all I know was that I found the injera a touch too sour but it's a minor comment if anything. One last thing is to recommend the Ethiopian herbal tea which complemented the meal wonderfully.

Mine was definitely the tastier option; a bit spicy but more bursting with flavour. Well-done and a good-sized portion with the Injera. For £7.50 it's a steal. My husband praised the Ethiopian coffee as well as strong and not bitter. I would definitely return here again with the huge menu including loads of veg options. We've missed solid Ethiopian food and this hit the spot!
