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 ordered jollof rice with plaintain and chicken. The rice is decent. The stew is meh.. The chicken is the best part but the taste has Caribbean influence. It could pass for jamaican grilled chicken. Overall, if I'm in the area again and I have the £££ to blow/waste, i'll come back again.

We still had to pay the full amount!!! Music way too loud for a very small size restaurant. Unable to hear myself breathing!! Lol..

New review from Nov 2019:…read more This is my second visit here and far more disappointing. The reason is the waiter/owner was grumpy and when I asked for a takeaway box for the moyin moyin he actually scowled! Wow. The moyin moyin is quite flavourful but the jollof rice is a real disappointment. I've had far better in Ghana. Two years ago: I popped into here for lunch around 1:30pm today and whilst the owner could have been friendlier in greeting me (a smile doesn't hurt ya know), I appreciated him coming outside the restaurant to hand me my takeaway food where I had waited in the lovely sun for my order. The interior is quite small with only a couple of tables with lovely African sculptures all around. There is chalkboard of specials along with the regular menu. Sadly the sweet potato balls were sold out so I got the moin moin and the spinach stew. All together less than a tenner. There are four pieces of moin moin, which are just deliciously savoury. I recommend eating them with the nonspicy spinach stew with melon seed, which, whilst not delicious, was tasty and filling. It would be perfect on a cold winter night. If I was in the area, I would return just for the moin moin!

The menu that was given to us differed from the one on their website which was why we came here in the first place. It didn't have the same dishes. Two of the main dishes that my partner wanted were not available and he ended up eating chicken wings instead. Considering that this was at the beginning of the evening, that was appalling! Also, the menu lacks a full description of the meals meaning that I had to google what I was going to eat.
