Nneji

Super friendly staff. Meat is falling of the bone, spicy but not overpowering. The tomato soup dish (Egusi) is amazing.

Nneji is a restaurant with delicious food for takeout in Astoria, Queens. I had egusi, which is made from a protein-rich seed. Egusi is one of my favorites, for sure. I also got black-eyed peas with sweet potato, black-peppered salmon, gari which is a coarse flour made from cassava, and the ancient grain fonio. The food I ate had excellent flavor. It is definitely a place I will go back to.

My friends from elsewhere tried the place I recommend and totally agreed. The workers demonstrated real kindness. Workers make you feel welcome while assisting you. The meals contain surprising combinations that work harmoniously. I question the experience of those rating lower.

Delicious food and friendly staff! They took the time to talk about the dishes with me and gave recommendations. I had the chicken, jollof rice and okra! Loved them all. So flavourful without being overpowering. Wish they had tables and chairs so I can dine here with friends

The mixed meat jollof rice is so good and you get a HUGE portion. The restaurant is takeaway only and smells so nice inside.
