M&D is the best food in Gainesville, and honeslty in the state of Florida. Generous portions of delicious food are always given. The owners are some of the nicest people I’ve met in Gainesville and genuinely care about their customers. I will always make time in my week to pay them a visit, both for their food and kindness!

WOW, WOW, WOW… AMAZING FOOD!! 🥘😋 I decided to try this place today and it was well worth it! They weren’t located at the cricket and moved to the gas station down the road. I order the okra soup with chicken and fufu and it was DELICIOUS. It tastes authentic and the food was ready quick. The lady working there was so nice and welcoming, she gave us samples to try the soups. For the price of $16, you get two servings worth. Amazing food, amazing service, I will DEFINITELY be back!!!

Omg!! We will be back!!! Everything we ordered was beyond delicious! We ate, slept, ate again and slept again! The flavors were sooo good. All I can say is try them! You won't be disappointed!

★★★★★ 5.0 Stephanie Winters · Nov 2025

The food is truly authentic and full of flavor. Service is outstanding—friendly, welcoming, and attentive. I especially appreciated being able to sample the soups before ordering. Highly recommend!

The Egusi Soup was AMAZING! Please see my other review as the POWWH REVO. But I was very disappointed when I tried their Ogbono soup and it was thin and watery. I brought it back, they said that's how it's made. At least, they kindly returned my money. Why would they give me Ogbono with no Ogbono in it? Ai said: Thin, watery ogbono soup is generally considered a culinary mistake, as the soup is characterized by its thick, slimy, and viscous texture, similar to okra soup. It is a Nigerian draw soup made from ground African bush mango seeds.
