Wow! Just wow. I'm serious about this place. It's fantastic!!I ordered the benachin with plantain and chicken. I've had plantains at a lot of different restaurants. I've even tried preparing them myself a few times. I've hated them every time; I thought I just didn't care for them. This hole in the wall restaurant made me LOVE plantain. Whoever prepared the chicken jollof rice has real skill and knows how to balance flavors. A perfect bite of rice, mixed veggies, chicken and plantain... ????? 5/5 well earned! It left just the tiniest heat on my lips making me want MORE.

Had goat pepper soup with fufu. Never had goat before and it was very delicious! Very tender and well seasoned! And the fufu was a great compliment to soup! Adam the young man who took my order was very polite and respectful. He added to an overall pleasant and positive experience! I’ll definitely be back to try more menu items!!!

I had wanted to try this place for a while and finally did today. So glad I did!I got the wings and the Oxtail. The wings were great. Huge size, well sauced. The oxtail was amazing, so tender! So glad to have this in Springfield. If you were thinking about ordering from here, do it

Lovin this food. It's a bit on the expensive side but the lunch special is the way to go. Order ahead because it's prepared fresh.The Jollof Rice and chicken is incredible. Add a small side of plantains and it goes great with the meal.

This was my second time coming to Travelers Kitchen and I really enjoyed the food, as it is always very flavorful. My only complaint was how oily the food was, but overall great experience and great food! I would definitely recommend.

Went here because we have been wanting to try it since it has opened. Finally went and got the Fufu with egusi soup and the Fufu with goat pepper soup. Both were super flavorful, had a nice kick to them and it was a decent portion. I enjoyed the vegetarian Fufu with egusi the most! It had a flavor I have not tasted before and it was really great with the pounded yam. That is the giant white ball in the picture, it reminds me of mashed potatoes but with a sticky consistency (it's good)Service was good I was the only one in there until I left.The atmosphere I gave a 3 stars because it could use some sprucing up, but it's a newer restaurant so it will take time. Also the food and staff are what are important and the food was delicious and the staff was friendly!I recommend trying this place out! Help support a local restaurant.

Everything was excellent and staff was so friendly, he explained the whole menu to my family. This is a new restaurant and no one else was dining while we did so it’s a great new restaurant to support! We had the eggrolls, Benachin, chicken with plantains, Chicken shawarma and Fish yassa. Also some goat pepper soup! I tried everything which was all so good and liked the chicken shawarma the best since it had the rice, huge quarter chicken and vegetables!We also had a special red drink made from hibiscus and a yellow ginger drink. So good!

Food is okay. Tried a verity of food but just liked the fried fish. Chicken yassa was not fresh. Ordered 2 plates of samosa but received just one. No response to your phone calls. Ordered shrimp shawarma but it was out so had to manage with chicken shawarma, which was okay.
