★★★★★ 5.0 BERNETHA HILL · Aug 2025

Consistently fresh, delicious food that never disappoints!!! We appreciate the vegetarian options. Our favorites are Gbegiri & Ewudu and Ewa Agoyin. The food is well prepared/seasoned, well presented and well packaged; the portions are very generous! The restaurant’s customer service is exceptional. The staff is accommodating and customer oriented. Staff take time to explain their dishes (ingredients) and consistently follow order specifications. Specifically, some family members don’t tolerate high heat/spice level and the restaurant is responsive to serve the spicy sauce separately to allow the customer to control the spice level to their desired tolerance. Their ability to customize dishes demonstrates their food is not premade or pre-packaged. Instead it is freshly made in house and in

★★★★★ I came here with my dad for lunch to enjoy some traditional jollof, and it did not disappoint! The food was incredibly fresh, bursting with flavor, and served promptly. The jerk chicken, in particular, was absolutely to die for—perfectly seasoned, tender, and delicious. The service was outstanding, and Demi was so sweet and helpful, making our experience even better. If you’re looking for authentic, flavorful food with great service, I highly recommend this place! We’ll definitely be coming back.

My Friend Kash recommended this restaurant because I complained to him that since I moved to Connecticut, I haven't found a good place to eat Nigeria food. The highlight of my visit was the cleanliness of this restaurant. I’ve ordered jollof rice couple of weeks back which was indubitably delectable and then decided to pay them a visit today with my friend. The food is good and the lady that waited on us was super courteous and polite. I ate egusi soup and ponded yam. In fact the food was so nice that my friend had to request for a takeout for his wife. This restaurant is pretty close to the road and can be easily noticed from a vehicle in normal traffic. It is also family friendly with wheelchair accessible entrance ♿ and unisex toilet . #AfricanRestaurant #NigerianRestaurant #Shelton #

It’s sad I order from here from time to time and as a business the amount of egusi you put in the bowl is crazy for a $25 meal it’s ridiculous I’ve never seen such little food given especially when I’ve brought the same meal from other restaurants.greed don’t keep business open will not be returning.it literally just covered the bottom smh ………..the last picture is from safari77 formally Betty’s kitchen Bridgeport ct same price.
