Receipt
Lindsey S.

Try another place. I got a jollof rice w/goat and egusi w/ fish, fufu and plantains. The egusi and fish was just okay. The egusi did not taste fresh (everything is buffet style). I was charged 17.50 for just the jollof rice plate and extra $7 for the goat meat on top which I didn't understand why the meat wasn't included. The rice and goat were okay but definitely over charged for the portion sizes. I tried it based on a referral but wouldn't recommend. 3/10 Egusi- $18.50 7/10 Jollof rice- $17.50 7/10 Goat meat (1 piece) - $6.50 7/10 Plantain - $2.50 Total - $50.00 Value - $30.00

Jollof Rice with beef and chicken

Picked up an order of Jollof Rice, with beef and chicken: I was handed a surprisingly heavy to-go container. They packed that rice in there. Nice. The Jollof Rice was amazing: low-simmer spicy, flavorful, plentiful and delicious. The Beef (roast?) and the Chicken Leg on top of the rice left a lot to be desired: they tasted like they've been reheated too many times already.

Rice and Goat meat with Maltina drink
Jorge M.

Food: rice was delicious first time eating this type of flavored rice it was like spicy and Cajun really good and flavorful. Goat meat was a bit hard did not taste fresh but the sauce that came with the meat was finger licking good. Drink: Maltina tasted good Service: Cashier lady was really nice and helped me choose food. Ambiance: Place was clean smelled great. It was quiet at the restaurant. I suggested to put some music on. Or I would recommend to install tvs with some Nigerian music. I recommend to try it out. I will return for more.

Egusi Soup with 2 meat choices $16.95 plus tax

I let the cashier know it was my first time trying African cuisines. I would have thought she would have been more eager to explain their menu. I had to pull answers out of her instead of volunteering some explanations of the different dishes. There were no names on the cooked items so it was like guesswork. Food was somewhat flavorful but neither of my 2 meats were edible. Chicken was old, old and so dry I threw it in trash. I couldn't even bite or chew it .... It was tougher than meat jerky. The beef was not edible either, it was like a super chewy, dense piece of old meat that appeared to have been cooked early today but overcooked in the steam pans. So disappointing after seeing all of the online videos of great looking African food and this is how it ends. An expensive waste.

Stew and Assorted meat

Small family owned business with delicious food. Patrons took time to adjust my order and were friendly. The costs are feasible compared to most spots. Definitely a hidden gem!

I had a $15 gift card for one of the food delivery services. I think the person who gave it was…read morethinking coffee but I was thinking, who gets coffee delivered? I forgot so about the card until someone asked me if I used food delivery companies. I loved them in the past but had some odd experiences. Nevertheless since I was in TX and not familiar with any of the local restaurants I decided to pick food the person I was with had never tried. After researching several options I landed on this place. I ended up ordering several items so I could get the person to try a variation and so I could get a good idea of their approach and how they prepare specific dishes. Especially in the DFW area. I'm American but have worked in parts of Africa in the 90s and lived in NY and the DC areas. I'm from CA and it took much longer for West African food products to make it west. I ordered over $200 worth of options. The pricing made me change my mind on 3 different occasions on separate days over 2 weeks. I then justified by thinking, that if the portions are fair I food freeze items and/or eat leftovers a few times with the spices marinating and getting better. Overall, I was very pleased. I've attached a photo of my receipt and food. I wish they had placed more of the spicy pepper paste being that in every note, I wrote spicy or extra spicy and there wasn't an option for condiments. Some of the pieces of meet in the dishes were sparse or just the fat. The pieces of goat in the curry, egusi, and okra could have been cooked longer but the flavor of all three dishes was delicious. The person who had the food for the first time enjoyed the spices but their expressions when asking questions related to each item, were hard to decipher. They don't have a mature palid and stick to what they like (bad food) for over 50 yrs. When I brought habaneros to cook with, they had no clue what they were, even though their mexican salsas said habanero was in it but the peppers on the bottles were not habaneros. The added rice with the dishes was very good even though I bought the jollof rice as well. Having both was smart. Again. I wish I had more African pepper paste The person I was with LOVED THE PLANTAINS.. T wasn't surprised. They were ripend and cooked to perfection. I had to hide them so when more food was being tasted the focus would be on the others. I was right about having leftovers and nothing went to waste.I even served the rice with fish dishes I prepared later in the week. Yes, I would choose this restaurant again!!! However, I think I'm going to drive there and order to see if the portions are the same and if I'm saving any money. Oh, I forgot to mention that the restaurant did and excellent job of packaging the food abs placed all bags and containers in a box. There was only one container that had saran wrap that leaked due to it being squashed and cracked. The way it was wrapped.. saved the dish!!!

Beware, It's expensive, it was my first time coming to this location. The egusi and fufu were way…read moretoo expensive. $36 for small portion they give you is just too much. A customer had 1 corona premier and it was $10 and he was shocked too.

Amazing food and service 10/10! I loved the environment and the owner made me feel at home.read more

When I go to Nigerian restaurants, I'm often worried about long waits and not-so-great service,…read moreeven though I'm Nigerian American myself. During my last visit, I ordered ahead and it took me about 25 minutes drive, which wasn't too bad. The person who took my order was nice, which was a pleasant surprise compared to what I expected. I ordered two portions of suya and two shawarmas, costing a bit over $40. The shawarma was okay in size, but it didn't really stand out. It satisfied my cravings, but nothing more. Now, the suya was a letdown. It had too much oil and lacked that real suya flavor. The taste of curry was too strong, overshadowing the authentic suya taste. Plus, there were way too many onions compared to the meat. I'd rate the suya a 4 out of 10 for the effort. On the other hand, the shawarma, though of an average size, was pretty tasty. It was spicy, so you'll need a drink to handle the heat. I'm giving a three-star rating for both the food and the service, also appreciating that they're open on Sundays. I've tried suya and shawarma in many places around the DFW area, and I think this place can do better. If they work on improving the spice mix for the suya and balance out the meat and onions, it would make a big difference and bring them up to the level of other spots in the area.
