Customer Reviews
I’ve lived in the neighborhood for 6+ years, tried many places and I would have to say this is now in my top 3. Three words to describe Akara House: Fresh. Innovative. Incredible. It’s a breath of fresh air. Amazing flavors and textures combine to create a one of a kind burger. The owner was so kind, so helpful, very professional and humble. I will be returning more than once. God bless this business! Also I don’t have a photo because I ate it so fast 😂 BUT it looked better than or just like the photo. I tried the LEKKI BURGER 🤤🤤🤤10/10
Akara House is a solid choice for quick bites. The Made in Lagos burger was a highlight, and the Jollof rice with fritters and the Kale salad were tasty. The staff were friendly, and the owner even shared egusi samples for us to try. Although the place is a bit small and got cramped when we were there, the fast service rounded out an overall good experience. I'd love to go again soon and have their classic Akara burger.
I am surprised by all the very high ratings. I was not exactly blown away by this place. I ordered the Made in Lagos burger and the homemade lemonade. The lemonade was refreshing and a bit different in am undescribable way. Sweet but a little salty, felt very refreshing on a warm day. The Made in Lagos burger was a little bit of a letdown. The toppings were excellent and flavorful, but the akara patty was so dry and dense, it really subtracted from the overall burger experience. There are 2 benches to wait for your food and a small bar countertop with a few chairs if you want to stay and eat.
Owner was dope. Don't expect the food to come quick, which a plus for me bc it let's me know it's being cooked from scratch. The food was good, even the next day eating it cold. Only thing I wasn't crazy about was the jollof, guess I expected something different from all the jollof rave videos I had been watching.
I live around the corner and was so happy when this Crown Heights staple relocated closer to me. The owner is a treasure and full of enthusiasm for his creations that are delicious. The sidewalk table atmosphere is great urban experience of the vitality of crown heights renaissance. I’m a fan of the Abuja Burger named after the beautiful capital of Nigeria.
