The dish also had a strong smell and a slightly bitter aftertaste. I had anticipated a more balanced, savory flavor, but it leaned more toward spice and bitterness for my taste. The fufu reminded me of an unseasoned potato in flavor. That said, the jollof rice with oxtail was a highlight. The meat was tender, the plantains were nicely sweet, and overall the dish felt more flavorful and satisfying. I definitely enjoyed that option much more. Considering the portion sizes and the ghost kitchen setup, the $30 price point felt a bit high to me. The food is not made to order, it is reheated before packaging in standard plastic containers, which influenced my overall impression. On a positive note, the woman serving was very kind and spoke highly of the food. I can see how this cuisine might be an acquired taste for some. For first-timers, I'd recommend starting with the jollof rice and meat dishes and exploring from there.

I picked up two Jollof specials to go, and the whole process was quick and easy. I ordered one plate with jollof rice, goat meat, and chicken, and the other with jollof rice, ghost meat, and fish. Both plates came with plantain and veggies. By the time I got home, everything was still hot, fresh, and full of flavor. My 3 y/o daughter devoured her portion, which tells you everything you need to know. The jollof is still as solid as ever, and the meats were seasoned well. This place continues to deliver reliable, comforting Nigerian food without the wait or the hassle. The restaurant was clean, quiet, and well kept from walking in. A year later, and it's still a great place. I'll definitely keep coming back whenever the jollof craving hits.

This is definitely one of my top dining experiences in LA for the atmosphere, service, food, and overall uniqueness. Everything is a set menu with set price which make ordering so much easier. We ordered the Moroccan Feast for the 4 of us and after tax and tip came to around $60 a person which honestly is worth because this is a feast! And we enjoyed a belly dancing show that we got to participate in. This was so much and honestly helped with the digestion haha. I cannot wait to come back with a group. It's a very cozy spot and so welcoming more you're in. Very much feels like a little getaway from LA once you're inside.

This was my second time…read morevisiting Veronica's, and I brought my mom along to experience the flavors of Nigerian cuisine. I've tried about five different Nigerian spots now, so I do have a point of comparison. What stood out most to me was the exceptional customer service. Veronica is truly wonderful--warm, hospitable, and clearly hardworking. You know the restaurant is good simply due to the loyal customers who keep coming back. The space is clean, well-maintained, and inviting. I also appreciated the variety of protein options and the ability to go vegetarian, which isn't always easy to find with traditional dishes. As for the food--it's solid. We ordered the veggie egusi and shrimp efo riro. While the flavors are bold and authentic, the use of crayfish was a bit heavy for my personal taste. That said, taste is subjective, and others might really enjoy that depth of flavor. So if you're curious about African food or open to trying something new, Veronica's might just be your spot. Would I return? Yes--especially if I'm in the area. I admire the care put into this establishment, and that alone makes it worth supporting.

The personal stories added an extra touch to all the food being served. That pepper soup was A++

ILE, "home" in Igbo, is a Nigerian dinner theatre and tasting menu in someone's apartment…read more Nigerian and West African food is not new to me, so my review is based on my familiarity with various regional and tribal dishes that I love - my experience is beyond simply the recent popular fufu and egusi. There are two menus and service times: 1. A four (4) course dinner theatre experience for $120 per person that starts at 5 p.m. and 2. A seven (7) course for $220 that's at 8 p.m. I made my reservation for 2 via Resy for the 8; they ask you to arrive and wait in the lobby, but you aren't greeted and seated in the apartment till 8:30, and don't start eating till 9 - rather annoying of a wait time. My original reservation was for December, however, I didn't get to go until January due to a COVID-19 outbreak amongst the team. I did get an e-mail with a 15% discount for the delay, however, I wish I had remembered to bring that up to the team at ILE when I paid because they didn't take it into account with my final bill. Also, note to everyone, there is a 25% service fee - they do clearly advertise this when you make the reservation. Ultimately, this experience is for extroverts as dinner is at communal tables - I did know that it was a communal experience, but ended up being seated with two rather loud and extroverted couples at a table, which dampened our experience. The dining tables are in two areas - when you walk in through the door, to the right is the open space kitchen-dining area and to the left is the second dining table. This is dinner theatre via storytelling; the chef introduces each dish with music and story of that ties back to the ingredients - really cool concept and I did appreciate the narration style & storyline, however, it was a drag after the second dish. This entire thing could have been a 1.5 hour event, tops; instead, it was ~4 hours long, with each dish being eaten in less than 5-10 minutes - far too much time between the dishes. It's a BYOB establishment with no corkage fee, and they do serve a Nigerian wine for a charge per pour. Zobo (non-alcoholic) is served gratis - you can have as many refills as you want; for those who may not be familiar, zobo is the same as sorrel or jamaica; it wasn't too sweet and perfectly tart-y. Here are the seven dishes we had: 1. Starter bread, hummus, and chutney: The sweetness of the charred bread was quite well-balanced between the creaminess of the hummus and the sweetness of the chutney. Enjoyed this very much. 2. Shrimp salad: Enjoyed the jollof sauce but we only got a medium shrimp and a half; disappointed with that quantity. 3. Goat pepper soup: Pressure cooked goat with pepper soup poured into the plate afterwards. I wish there was more pressure-cooked goat - the quantity was not enough; that's how the pepper soup I've had has been. Enjoyed this very much despite the quantity. The soup was poured out of an IKEA plant watering can - I have the same one. 4. Nigerian snail: A bit overcooked; larger than Vietnamese or French snails, and slightly earthy. 5. Fish, rice, jammy duck egg, corn, and micro greens: I forget what it represented, but for the price of the entire event, there was barely any fish or duck egg; served in a cute pot that reminded me of my childhood serveware. 6. Jollof & beef: The jollof was smokey, but not spicy enough, with ribeye on a separate plate - loved the suya dust. You can add wagyu for another $35 or 75; we opted out to not upgrade - can't remember eating my jollof with wagyu before. Enjoyed this very much. The chef did later let me know as we were leaving that I could've asked for more jollof but were trying to balance quantities; I do appreciate that they wanted to avoid wastage, so don't want to give too much upfront and have it end up in the trash, but would have been nice to know while being served. 7. Oil cake with "custard" with berry coulis: Chef Eros said this a custard, but it really was ice cream in texture and consistency; the presentation reminded us of a wedding table decoration. It was all not too sweet, so that was nice, but too much show. Every other dish was so-so and lacking flavour and/or quantity. Service is pretty good - the chef's brother, Cortez, was our server; very attentive but not hovering. Since this is in a home kitchen, there are 3 folks working constantly in the kitchen, Chef Eros wondering around, and 2 servers-of-sorts; there are only 6 burners. Parking is scarce - you can e-mail ILE and ask them to reserve a guest spot for you for $15, and it will get added to your bill at the end. It might be worth taking an Uber if you prefer. Overall, while it was an interesting experience, it's not for me; the dinner theatre, communal aspect, long wait to eat, small quantities, and the price being far too high aren't it. I'd rather go to Veronica's or my mate's house. It's *perhaps* a good starting point for someone unfamiliar with Nigerian/West African food in an intimate setting.
