I cannot get enough of their Pounded Yam FuFu and Egusi Soup. It is absolutely delicious! This was my second try at partaking in West African cuisine, after a not so impressive meal I had a few months back. I’m so glad I gave this place a try. Especially realizing that there are so many different interpretations of these dishes across the continent. Yam Fufu and Egusi Soup: The Fufu comes fresh, hot and the perfect texture for pulling. While the flavor is mild, it’s a wonderful companion to some of the more savory soups/stews. The Egusi Soup has a powerful, spiced and seasoned flavor profile. I did have to adjust to some of the thin fish bones in it - but not out of the ordinary or too unexpected when cooking with dried fish. The flavor it brings is worth the minor inconvenience. I get mine with the 2 chicken drumsticks - which are well cooked and also wonderfully seasoned. I’d like the option to order without a protein on Uber Eats, though. Jollof Rice, Plantains with Beef: The rice was coated and seasoned very well! I enjoyed the spice, flavor and texture of the rice. My beef was a tad tough. I really only wanted to try the rice, but on the Uber Eats app currently requires a protein - so, I’m not taking any points away for it. Plantains were *chef’s kiss*! If you’re like me and want to experience African cuisine from right here in Central Ohio - I highly recommend this place. Also, very good portions for the price.

My actual home away from home. This restaurant has been in Columbus for over ten years now and I never tire of looking forward to eating there or recommending to friends and family. Great food, wonderful staff - the whole team put customer needs first and serve authentic, well priced Nigerian dishes - they don’t skimp on portions either!

Not sure the people praising the food from this restaurant if they're paid or knows how to cook. I ordered ogbono and my friend ordered afang(ukazi). I guess the Calabar woman in me knows a good tasteful meal when I taste one. The soup was nasty as hell. The to go fried rice I ordered was a very big disappointment. Dry, crispy, and tasted nasty. Won't visit again.Update after owners reply.This has nothing to do with where I come from ma'am. Fried rice, jellof, ogbono, egusi, etc are all Nigerian food. i visited because I was impressed with the reviews. I go to an African restaurant especially after a long trip. I don't live in ohio. Either I was given an old dry strong crispy fried rice and of course it can be normal not soggy. old ogbono soup . Both food was a big disappointment. Service was fine. Food was horrible. The owner's reply sounds typical of a quarrelsome type. If I could give a zero, I would. Service was not bad. Just horrible food that I ended up throwing away.i paid for it so it's not entitlement . Complete waste of my money. It's not how long you've been a cook, but how well ma'am. It can be better. Thanks.
