Customer Reviews
I got the light soup with goat meat. Listen, I’m Nigerian but this was some of the best food I’ve eaten in a very long time. I also got the beef suya. Let’s just say I will be licking my fingers all the way home. Delicious food and sweet employees! I will be back!
I'm from out of town and was looking for some good Egusi soup and this was the closest place to my hotel. When I walked in, I smelt something burning And I could hear someone in the back clearly scraping a pot really hard Like when you burn the bottom of a pot and you have to scrape off the burnt stuff. I was thinking to myself I hope that's not my food!! Once I got back to my hotel I realized it must have been my food. The Egusi Soup I was given was Extremely burnt tasting like it was the bottom of the pan and tasted and looked very dark in color and old! I would not return here when I'm in town! This Egusi soup, because of the burntness and old taste, I'm gonna give it a 2/10 I also noticed that the girl who was in the back making the food was using these black gloves that I saw her c
Ordered light soup which comes with protein, either fish, chicken, or goat. I chose goat and chicken. Why did these ppl put fried chicken in light/goat soup? The most nastiest soup ever had. I threw everything out bc the taste was not good at all. I called the store and spoke to Summer about the issue and she said that’s how it’s made. I’m African & have never in my 30 years of living ate fried chicken light soup. Ewww.
I was at East Brunswick and this restaurant was one of the closest African restaurants to where I lodged. The restaurant has a wide variety of meals (mostly Africa dishes) - jollof rice, waakye, banku, yam, riceballs, TZ, fufu etc. The chefs are good and their meals are really sumptuous. The only downside was that I had to wait a bit longer for my meal to be ready. I enjoyed the food and I will certainly be back. I love this restaurant because you kinda feel the African vibe once you get in here. Guys get in there and enjoy yourself😋.
My husband has always been dying to try fufu and we never found it in the south. Stumbled upon this gem. The woman working was so sweet! The loud music and colors were vibrant and upbeat. The food was AMAZING. We got jollof rice with beef and fufu with light soup and goat meat. The soup was delicious. The fufu was amazing. The jollof rice was filling and flavorful. We also tried a juice drink that was fruity and had a slight heat from ginger. In summary, the experience of a new cultural dish was amazing.
