Delicious food and excellent customer service. My friends and I enjoyed our meals of pounded yam and UkaziUtazi soup, yam porridge, and jollof rice. I recommend you call ahead to order if you can if not, it will still be fine.

I came from out of town with my husband to visit a friend and desired the authentic taste of Nigerian food and this place definitely gave that. The food was so fresh and so good. If you are looking for an authentic taste of Nigerian food, this is the best place to come.
