    JOLLOF RICE 2 MEAT

    We've been searching for a good smoky jollof rice and suya beef we once had, never could find any quite matching. Alas! We came across Ultra Kitchen and their jollof rice and beef suya are on point! Beef we think they make it even better, more tender! My husband and son found this place first and insist that's the first place we needed to go after my months long trip away. They were so right!! The service is excellent. A very family business and so warm and friendly! The place is very clean and nice as well. Overall such an enjoyment. We licked the plates (see our before and after pics!) and definitely will be a usual there from now on! We still need to try their fufu and other dishes! Do plan for extra 15-20 minutes for the cooking though. It takes time, effort and heart to make these wonderful dishes fresh and amazing! And it's totally worth the wait!!

    went in to try fufu and had the egusi soup with beef and chicken as my protein. also had coconut rice plate with chicken and beef as well. owners/chefs kept coming out and interacting with customers 10 out of 10 delicious!

    The place looks amazing on the inside, well decorated. It is looking like you are about to have a great feast here but then you wait 1.5 hours to receive your food. And it wasn't even fresh. If you have had stew before, you know it doesn't look like that in the picture. My friends rice was half cooked and the meat tasted like days old. There was 1 guy running the whole place, he was working hard but he can't do everything you know.

    A new cafe serving up Nigerian food on the Culebra corridor to 1604. The Cafe looks to be set up for events and catering. The woman running the show is super friendly and informative. I tried the jollof rice and plantains along with some suya. I didn't have time but she also has scotch egg and puff puff which I haven't seen in town. This shop happily reminds me of the small Nigerian cafes around Houston.

    I don't know if this is authentic Nigerian food or not, but it is delicious. The jollof rice was perfect

    Menu looks so professional!!!

    This place is the pure definition of a hidden gem! The first time I visited I tried their dumplings…read moreand their borsch both so good and filling! This time around we already had lunch so we decided to try their desserts. We got the honey cake and sweet crepes both soo good! Do not forget to try their kompot which is a boiled fruit juice both time I got it cold. It is so refreshing and looks like it is homemade with the chunks of fruit in the cup I highly recommend to try it out and the owner is so sweet and friendly. Both times we had a chat and he shared his family story It is a very small cafe quiet and comfy to sit and have a nice chat

    A small quiet place that is excellent for a date or a quiet afternoon. Staff is friendly. Proceeds…read morego to a good cause (helping victims of the war in Ukraine) which is a bonus. The food was phenomenal! Varenyki was the best I have ever had WOW. Borsch was really good, different than ones I had before (which were much heavier on beet root and made with beef ) but this one was amazing as well, I wish it was heavier on beet root but still the top 5 soups I have ever had! The pirozhuk was amazing, a fried dough filled with a mashed potato. Fluffy and delicious I would eat this every day of my life if I could. A definite "visit again" kind of place! Adding it to my rotation

    Update to first review below, rating updated from a 3 to a 5 star (drinks & bartender would get 10+…read morestars if we could rate that high): Saturday night: Went back for after dinner drinks at the Downstairs (a "speakeasy" throwback, look up the history of the place to see why). Drinks were AMAZING! Bartender Rob made the best Negroni I've ever had. I asked him to use whatever gin he thought best--result was an artistic smooooooth full-bodied drink. Told him when I was done I'd lick the glass if it wasn't considered so uncouth for a 'mature' lady like myself to do so Hubby's Buffalo Trace bourbon old fashioned was also outstanding. Rob was the bartender last night who did such a great job, and his work was even better tonight. We highly recommend The EsquireTavern for excellent cocktails. We love the long wood bar and high copper ceiling upstairs, but love the intimate speakeasy atmosphere downstairs even more. We'll definitely be back every time we're in San Antonio! First review, Friday night: Drinks were great (Manhattan and Bourbon Old Fashioned). REAL drinks, no complaints at all about those. And the bartenders were very friendly and helpful. Those aspects of the Esquire get 5+ stars from us. But the appetizers were not good, close to inedible. It was about 8:30pm or so, so maybe they were getting ready to close out the kitchen but the chalupitas with chicken tasted like rubber, and no flavor at all. The seafood platter had something in it that was breading with shell inside, but no meat of any kind. We couldn't figure out what it was supposed to be. The shrimp was good and the fish was good but those other things... We'll always love the drinks, the long wooden bar, and the ambiance at the Esquire Tavern, but we'll eat somewhere else and come here for before or after dinner drinks. (See update above to this review for when we returned the next night for after dinner drinks.)
