Customer Reviews
This is a well run Nigerian restaurant with nice interior decor. The menu is small and a bit pricey, but that means they’re good at what they make. The flavor was great and seemed authentic with lots of other Nigerian patrons (I’m not Nigerian). They’re fully stocked with Nigerian drinks. The lamb was slightly too dry but that’s my only complaint.
My first time visiting. I had lunch I with my sister, a local who has been here before. I had the Jollof rice and moi moi with chicken. My sister had the egusi with chicken. We shared some puff puffs.We were disappointed that they were out of the Suya ( beef and chicken). We both enjoyed our respective meals, so much so that we placed an order of moi moi, Jollof rice and puff puffs to go. Service was excellent.
Visited mid afternoon, so we were the only diners. Although 2-3 the take out orders were picked up while we were there. We had Jollof, plantains and puff-puff. The food was tasty, albeit not as spicy as I like.
Food is mediocre at best. I ordered Jollof rice with Goat stew. Food was cooked well, just lacked seasoning/flavor. Hopefully they can work on this. Lady who collected payment looked mean and was nonchalant. Also it doesn’t smell too great in there, they should definitely work on that.
I went to Obosa Restaurant on an afternoon lunch date for my first try at West African food. The younger staff were so pleasant & helpful. They saw we weren’t familiar with the menu & took their time in explaining & accommodating some vegetarian options. All of their food was cooked to perfection. -Their “puff puff”(not pictured because we shamelessly devoured them & ordered another round to go) was delicious. -The fufu & stew was well portioned, beautifully plated & so delicious. -The jollof rice was *fantastic & their plantains were perfectly fried. I tried their fish soup & quickly learned they don't skimp on spice- which I appreciate- but if you don't have a high tolerance for pepper, I'd proceed with caution. Worth mentioning too, their restaurant was immaculately clean. If you’r
