    Fried rice with beef and plantain
    Kat P.

    No eye has seen or ear has heard of these scotch eggs! I originally just wanted fufu, but I'm highly impressed by the boiled egg wrapped in beef and turkey sausage then deep fried with a crispy and crunchy crust (reminds me of panko). The way it was fried and seasoned is a must try! I loved the fresh made dough of the meat pie too. The fufu dish is pact full of flavor and the fufu, made of yams, was soft and pliable while staying intact complements the Egusi soup with beef. The beef was tender, full of spices that do not compare to other cuisines, fun to eat with the fufu, and served in large portions. I tried the jollof rice and it has a Smokey flavor and with spices (none of the food was spicy). I even tried the chicken rice and I loved it. Both rice have good bite to each grain. The service was fast for having one amazing chef who I was honored to meet. He kindly came to check on his customer's dining experience. I definitely will come back and can't wait to try the peppered goat soup. I took the remaining food home and I can't stop thinking of their fufu either. The ambiance is great to invite more people to the table for a fun little fufu party.

    Really calm and quiet family-owned restaurant with authentic and delicious food! The service was amazing. The husband and wife are very kind and did a great job checking on us. They did have a long wait today due to being short staffed but did their very best to make sure we were taken care of. Below is a rating the foods I tried: *Meat Pie: 5/5 *Gizdodo: 4/5 *Goat Pepper Soup: 5/5 *Scotch Egg: 3/5

    On a random week night I was on that side of town waiting for my friends to come meet me to eat next door. While waiting I decided to check out this place. I so wish I made the plans to eat here instead! When I walked in there was a full Nigerian family from Dallas enjoying dinner after a long day at Seaworld. Not 5 minutes later I became part of the family including the restaurant owners! Since I had plans for dinner I only ordered the Suya to try. Until this day I still regret not trying more things on the menu! I live far so going to this side of town isn't easy. I cannot express about the ambiance at this restaurant! I got a glimpse of how it feels like to be in Nigeria! They came out with empanadas giving them to me for free to try! This is the real definition of hospitality! And yes Nigeria became on my high list of places to travel to! I will definitely be back to this restaurant soon!

    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!

    Plantain with Stew

    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.

    Jollof rice with plantains.  My camera is blurry for some reason. It was beautifully plated!

    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.

The outside doesn't scream coffee shop , in fact it's kind of an "IYKYK" type places because it's right in plain sight and I passed it for awhile before knowing what it was. Thanks to the San Antonio coffee fb group for all of the recommendations! They have a pretty expansive menu as well as plenty of delicious looking baked goods ! They have some cbd options too but I didn't try any of those. I tried the iced texas Star - flavorful and great espresso flavor. I do wish they used smaller ice cubes so the drink would last just a tiny bit longer. I also tried their chocolate croissant. Good, but would've been better warmed up! I don't remember if they offered that. My friend had the matcha and she loved it. They recently got a new matcha and she was worried because she loved the other one but was pleasantly surprised how smooth and delicious this one was as well. I definitely need to go back and try their matcha as well as other menu items because everything sounds so good. 1 star taken off because it is very hard to navigate with a stroller which is a bummer because I know tons of moms that love to venture out and find new coffee shops. On the plus side, clean restrooms with a changing table which is hard to come by!

    2018!? Has it really been that long since I've reviewed Merit? Back when it was still called Local…read moreCoffee? Let's do this... My sister and I stopped by Merit so I can try and rate the cortado for my silly little cortado review series. I also ordered the Purple Haze Latte and a poptart (courtesy of Bakery Lorraine). The cortado was surprisingly good. I say surprisingly because normally Merit's coffee is too fruity (and a bit funky) for me, but this was bold and right and made my ears tingle. Nice and creamy, and not watery. A very top notch standard cortado. The purple haze tasted like relaxing on the beach. It even had little bits of dried ube on top, like a little purple sandy beach. I'm pretty glad Merit's making me re-think their beans. That cortado is something I still think about, even though it's been about a month since my visit.

They had me at Pandan Matcha Cloud Latte and to their Bluebonnet Matcha, great flavors!! The Pandan takes me back to so cal 1000% and I love that they have it here in San Antonio for me to get a taste of home! Pandan is often described as the "vanilla of Southeast Asia" with a fragrant, mildly sweet taste, featuring strong notes of coconut, vanilla, and toasted almond. Price point wise, it is pricier, but their coffee and matcha are pretty top tier! Definitely a place like this a treat!! Excited to try more seasonal flavors!!

    FIRST TIME VISIT!…read more Walked in on a whim after a bday dinner for the hubby at the Texas Roadhouse. I was in search of a sweet treat to celebrate at home and boy, was I ever in for a treat! THE LOCATION: in a bustling and popular shopping center with tons of parking, and other fun businesses, right off the 1604 in the Alamo Ranch area. I have no idea what to expect so I just burst thru the doors like I owned the joint ready to embrace something new. THE MENU: aside from some lovely beverages, the dessert offerings are pretty straightforward. CHEESECAKE!!! And in the best possible, gourmet, decadent way. My eyes were popping out of my head! THE SERVICE: Lucky for me, a very patient gentleman behind the counter was available to assist me during a lull. I'm very grateful for the time he took to answer all my questions. THE GOODS: I knew I wanted cheesecake tonight, but after watching those sweet treats watching me right back through a shield of glass, I understood that I NEEDED cheesecake, and stat! While there were sooo many flavors available in the jars, I wanted to eat cheesecake the traditional way; with a fork to slowly dissect and discover the flavors and texture of each layer. By all appearances, these treats are not your average cheesecake and I'm so intrigued. I choose one slice of each flavor available. At $9 per slice, I'm lucky there were only 3 flavors at this hour. Lol! The jars, btw, are $7 each. Now, I had to ask what ingredients were in each flavor becs there is no written description anywhere in the store. The names do no justice in identifying what you're getting either. Names like "Summer Daze" and "Midnight Berry" leave much to the imagination. Sure, you can see chocolate and/or raspberries, but believe me... you don't really know what treasure you've got until it's melting on your tongue. I can't get home quick enough to meet up with the hubby again. Yayyyyyy! Dessert!!! THE TASTES: Heaven. Nirvana. Jack standing at the bow, arms stretched wide shouting, "I'm the king of the world!" That. That's what it's like. And I literally dissected and analyzed each lovely layer, mostly fluffy, decadent mousse, creamy, cheesy and rich. The crust bottoms. Holy smokes! I actually avoid graham cracker crusts but not this one. A-MAZING. Another slice had a crisp shortbread-like crust. Like, WHO DOES THAT?! Omg. I gorged until I regretted rushing in. Total amateur move. I also secretly selected 2 of the 3 slices that I knew my hubby would turn his nose up to. HAHAHAHAHA! Joke's on him. Trust me. Seriously, trust me. If you love cheesecake, mousse, fresh and tart fruit flavors (like fresh fruits and lemon curd!), give a slice or jar a try. And try a lovely match drink, too. Maybe I'll see you there!
