   AVOID!!!! placed an order and when eating the jollof rice / rice and peas including chicken had gone off but seasoned to mask this is not good. The owner appeared to be a generally nice person and yes we got free drinks and sweets but this is a shop owner advertising his business too. The food sold in the shop is clearly used in take-aways so nothing goes to waste. This is not to say that on some days food maybe alright as it may have been freshly cooked however as the food has been stored for more than required other orders will experience stale food.

   Was my first time visiting this place and I was not disappointed - I ordered the curries chicken , sweet dumplings , beef patty , and rice . All the food was all freshly made and tasted amazing . I was even given a free drink and some plantain to try which was very tasty . The owner was a love me kind man . I will definitely be back to try some more dishes thank you very much for your fantastic hospitality and excellent food .

   Great food, owner is a top guy and sends fruit and sweets free of charge for my son. The jollof rice and curried mutton is delicious. The friendly service makes it feel like eating at home, you don't often get this anymore due to bigger food chains. Great guy, great food.

   If I could rate this restaurant zero stars, I would absolutely do that . first and foremost I eat Nigerian food quite often. I know the differences between certain dishes and what they contain. However, this is the first time I’ve ordered a Egusi soup and have not been given an option of the meat I’d like inside . So I assumed that the Egusi soup would have just been original (No meats inside) nowhere on the description does it state that the Egusi soup contains I meat nor are you given an option to put in the description you’d like no meat. This evening, my dinner came with a runny Egusi soup that contained a meat that myself and family do not eat. Our entire evening dinner has gone to waste. I respectfully contacted the restaurant and asked if there was anything that they could do . instead of giving me great customer service and understanding how this was inconvenient to myself and family. The associate was very argumentative and rude. I am very disappointed and quite frankly, I will never ever refer anyone or return back to this restaurant.

   Amazing food and service. Ordered from here 2x in one weekend when I came to visit Sheffield summer 2022. Today I came back 15 miles to Sheffield just for the food here. Just as good as the last time!

   My partner went into this restaurant as it had been recommended by a colleague (my partner is Cameroonian so really misses African food). When he went to pay for his food the server made up different prices compared to what was on the menu and then even added more on the calculation of the bill. The menu would’ve had the total £9.00 but his hand calculations made it £12.50 and then he said £13.00. When my partner questioned the server he said you Nigerians come in here and think you can argue about the price. He was so rude and racist! My partner is never one to argue and he was really hungry so just paid the bill. I am appalled at this behaviour, especially from an African restaurant. It’s disgusting and I will be taking further action.

   ordered the egusi soup, curry goat , steamed spinach, fufu and a lamb Patty. The curry goat was good and full of flavor. The egusi soup’s flavor was on point the only thing there was not a lot of meat in it. The delivery guy was nice and our food arrived still piping hot. I will definitely order again and I do recommend this place.

   I think it was a fairly decent shop, staff were ok, I had thought that the waiting time was oddly long but when the food came I willingly ate it, and surprisingly not bad, for the prices here there are many other shops which outclass it. Might come later.
