★★★★★ 5.0 Chino Aneke-Nash · Feb 2026

If I could give them 20 stars, I would. Authentic Nigerian food +good service and good people. Sometimes I order lots of moi moi just to keep in the fridge because it’s that good. Everything I’ve tried from the dun dun to the pepper soup to the rice and fish is good! Literally everything is good. The pepper soup I took a photo of after eating some of the meat lol. My favorite part of the pepper soup is that the meat doesn’t have bones. Do you understand the freedom of simply enjoying your food without fighting to find out how much meat is actually left because your plate of soup is full of bones? I used to drive to their other location but now this one is only 25 minutes from home.

I had a meal this past weekend at Olaide’s and had a very pleasant experience. The food was delicious and the service was very warm and welcoming. The food came out quickly and the overall experience was very positive. Will definitely come back in the future.

So glad I made it to the new JC location of Olaide's Kitchen with friends tonight! The food and service are excellent, and the restaurant is clean and welcoming. Portions are generous and filling, so on this cold winter night it was very easy to share. I heartily recommend this place, especially to those new to West African cuisine.

I had a very good experience at Olaide’s. The restaurant is small and cozy. Very clean and nicely decorated. Good Afrobeats playing. The servers were thorough and friendly. The plantains were the freshest and largest order of plantains I have ever had.

So glad you're much closer to home now! What a hit! These Nigerian food is a must if you never had it. I'm talking about 10/10 food, service, everything! Today I got a full tray of jollaf rice catered and I got the assorted meats to try. Delicious! I'll definitely be back real soon :)
