This was Restaurant Week pick. I wanted to try a independently owned local place. So here we are my mom and I for lunch. This place is really big inside. It has a diner vibe. The lovely ladies at the counter were welcoming. We started off with smoothies that were made fresh. I was them juicing the fruits. They were delicious. This was part of the restaurant week menu. We then got the spam masubi which was not great. In my mind I expected a Hawaiian style one but this was just spam, white rice wrapped in seaweed. We also go thr meat pies that made up for the spam masubi. The meat pies crust smelled of butter and tasted lole a buttery pie crust. The meat inside was a bit spicy which was a good spice level for me but not for my mom. The meat inside was so flavorful. Both teriyaki bowls were just okay. The salmon was a bit overcooked and the spam could of been cooked a bit more. At the end, they gave us the puff puffs for free. They were crispy on the outside and doughy inside with carmel on top. This was so tasty and sweet. A perfect treat to end the meal. I need to go back and try their goat fried rice, goat stew and goat curry. Yes, I love goat. read more

This was an unusual but nonetheless great experience. Unusual because I came just as they opened so, in fairness, they hadn't really hit their stride regarding ambience but the food was fantastic. I got oxtails and bbq chicken wings (a little overkill, I know) and my only complaint is that there weren't more oxtails. It was filling but they were REALLY good and seasoned just right. (I'm rolling around ideas in my head as to what to do with the leftover oxtail sauce. There's not a lot left but it was so good that just can't bear the thought of throwing out the leftovers. Now about dem chicken wings...first time I ever had really tasty barbecue wings that weren't TOO over barbecue-y. It was a beautiful blend of taste and heat. (I saved the last few for leftovers-the true test of a good wing). They've got lots of space but at the time, not a lot of staff-again, they'd just opened but I'm really curious to see how they handle a group. read more

I was driving around and found this place worth checking out for lunch. Inside has ample seating area. There's two big screens with World Cup soccer game playing. Service is slow, but the order taker was nice and I was in no rush. I ordered the beef, chicken & shrimp yakisoba with a side of veggie egg rolls. Both came to my table fresh and piping hot. The flavors were okay. My mom's egg rolls are hard to beat. Next time, I will come back and try more exotic dishes, like the curry goat and egusi soup! read more

1st time here, the restaurant is gorgeous, and so is the staff. The owner (David) came to speak to us and make us feel welcome. And our waitress was as sweet as she could be. (Shay) I wanted to be adventurous as there were so many flavorful choices. Curry goat, red snapper, empenadas etc. I finally settled for the oxtail soup with Jollof rice. Outstanding! I was treating my buddy to a birthday lunch and he had the same. Can't say enough good things. Nothing better than seeing a family in business together getting it done. I will be back . read more

Wow I was truely impressed by this place!! Not only do they have African cuisine but Japanese too. My friend from Lagos said I should try Nigerian food so he took me here and said it was the best in town. I have to admit I was a bit nervous bc I know how spicy it can get. Let me tell ya it was spicy but I tolerate it well. The service was great and the owner came out to greet everyone! Food was terrific! Started with goat soup . if you've never had goat, it can get bony but the meat is delicious similar to lamb. Then we also had okra soup with a starchy ball (don't remember the name.) but you eat this with your hands. Then I had oxtail stew boy was that delicious. If you haven't tried Nigerian food, please go here. Check this place out. You might like it. read more

Neville was so attentive and hospitable! I loved how warm and welcoming the whole staff were. I got the oxtail soup with fufu along with chicken joloff--big proportions that I was able to share and still had leftovers. They ran out of egusi but said that they would let us know when they would have it again--so thoughtful of them! They also gave us puff puffs paired with 2 sauces which was so so amazing. I'll be coming back in a few days. The food was so delicious and unforgettable!! The ambiance was also so warm--I loved the designs and the art! Thank you guys for such a great experience! read more

FYI: Today is Sunday, May 3, 2026. This restaurant advertises on its social media platforms that they offer an African Buffet on Sundays. That is NIOT true. I planned on going to the buffet today to experience the variety of food that they show on their platforms but was told when I called to verify that the buffet no longer exist and that they discontinued it two weeks ago due to loss revenue. So be prepared to order off the menu ..à la carte with charges for everything!!! Food was just...okay read more

If you are looking for authentic African food this is the spot! I love everything I get from their menu and they have better options than other African restaurants I've been in Las Vegas. I've taken friends here and they have gone back to this place several times already. read more

I DoorDashed. Food was only ok because I ordered everything very spicy and there was no spice AT ALL. No hint of any kind of spice. very disappointed with that and sad being I spent a little over a hundred dollars. I only ordered because some reviews described very spicy. Sad I didn't get what I ordered. read more

Went here for breakfast on Sunday, and everything was excellent. The chilaquiles were full of flavor, the calentao was bomb, and the smoothies were fresh and refreshing. Definitely a spot I'd come back to and recommend for a great brunch. Chef Oscar is amazing; you can taste each ounce of love and energy in every bite. read more

The food was excellent. I walked in and immediately knew I was about to eat amazing African food! If you want some Nigerian/Cameroon food this would be your spot to get exactly that! It's authentic & delicious! And I say authentic not only because the style of the food but the welcoming and friendly service! & you have some music in the background to put a cherry in top! Great job! My boyfriend and I are so glad we found you! read more

For the price you pay, it is not worth it. Bought a plate of Okro and it was full of bones, why the need to cheat people out of their money, the suya was miserably small for the price. People are noticing. read more

Omg I just love going here. This is the best African restaurant I've been to out here in Vegas. The egusi soup never fails me. I love, love, love the flavors. The service is always amazing as well. This is the first time I had the puff puff balls and they are great as well. The restaurant has a good vibe, I always get my good to go but if I decided to eat in, it would also be an amazing experience. Thank you for the amazing food and service : ) read more

The food here was some of the best I've had in Vegas thus far. Me and my boyfriend both got the jollof rice with chicken, as well as the meat pies and oxtail stew with fufu. All were a 10 out of 10 for us! The ambiance was really nice too, with good music and great, kind service from the owner, chefs and server. We'll definitely be back with our families! read more

This is the message I wrote the owner... She insinuated that I'm mistaken or lying that I even came with my family and I. She asked me what door did I open? Like the front door isn't normal? She did say sorry. But she did not seem sorry by the messages we exchanged on instagram. She didn't sympathize with me driving almost an hour in the scoring sun to enjoy her food. Never been. And WONT BE GOING. Hello. My name is... My daughter and I along with 6 other family members came to your restaurant excited. My daughter graduated and you had a promotion for kids to come have a meal for free. We've never been there. And we all piled in the car. She wore her cap and gown and brought her diploma. We were all dressed nice and was ready to eat. However. Sunday at 6pm you were closed. And we were so disappointed. We live all the way near the 215 and Eastern so it was over a 40 min drive to your restaurant. Im just letting you know we were not happy with this. Thank you for your time. read more

Great service. First time trying Puff Puff, it was good. I ordered the teriyaki plate and it was so-so, portions was not great for the price. Next time I'll try the African food. read more

The food and the service are amazing. Definitely recommend the oxtail and pepper soup !

Okay, so the flavor is definitely there. However, I paid 37 dollars for two oxtails, a bag of fufu, and puff puffs dessert balls, and a soda. I thought that was a little expensive. The service was amazing. And the inside looked nice and clean. The atmosphere was set. I would say I would return for something cheaper but still tasteful read more

ordered the noodles with steak and chicken , food has no flavor and very expensive for $50

Food was great and everyone we talked to was very kind. First time there but will come back many times. Highly recommend the puff puff to finish off your meal. read more

I ordered last night for New Year's Eve. I got the egusi with beef and poundo. The beef wasn't tender at all. To tough. The soup had no juice from the meat at all. It wasn't the best Nigerian experience. I've tried I many different restaurants here in Vegas. I was very excited to try this one because of the ratings on yelp, but I was very disappointed. read more
