I’m from Tanzania but loved the authentic African ambiance. Felt right at home. The food was delicious and the service from uncle and auntie was homely. There was a group of people next to us and I loved their energy. Afrobeats was playing in the background ✨ had a lovely time!
I was initially skeptical about this restaurant considering the atmosphere from outside, but due to my pregnancy cravings, hubby persuaded me to try. We're a family of 4 on vacation in London, and this restaurant served the authentic Nigerian food we all desired. My family and I were amused at the taste of all the meals we ordered. My kids enjoyed the Jollof rice while myself and hubby enjoyed the pounded yam and egusi soup, amala, gbegiri with ewedu, and goat meat. My kids insisted that I take some pictures for review before we finished our meal. Although we had to wait longer for our order, it was worth it as all the food tasted fresh and delicious with authentic Nigerian flavor. The owner of the restaurant was also a nice woman who welcomed us pleasantly. It was a real taste of home. We would definitely visit again.
Sat down determined to have the fish pepper soup. However it was not available, which is fine. I got the Jollof rice with beef stew instead and moin moin. Jollof rice was 10 out of 10 delectable satisfaction which really abated my appetite for it. The plantain was disgustingly hard, I left it alone. The beef stew was delicious, however it has tripe in it. Clarified with them that I want only beef and nothing else in my stew yet assorted meats were in it. The owner later asked me to order it specifically as beef only, but I correctedly pointed out that I had indeed specified the kind of meat I want in my stew. Now here comes the dish which ultimately left me disappointed. Moin moin was lacklustre in taste and reeked of not having been prepared freshly. Texture was almost powder-ish. The egg was severely overcooked to a rubber-like consistency. There were no fish bits in it which would have salvaged it somewhat. Overall an experience I would avoid altogether if only I had known. The rave reviews were somewhat misleading. Perhaps I should have tried the egusi and yam type dishes more prominently featured in the reviews instead.
Visited with friends, always worth the trip! always the best naija food outside of naija! EVER! everything is cooked with love and is all fresh with the best ingredients just so delicious and tasty and yummy. meat fish rice swallow plantain goat suya…. all amazingly fantastic…. thank you so much!!
I’ve been looking for a decent Nigerian restaurant for at least 10 years now. I can finally stop looking! Best African take away in East London!
Food is always tasty but Jollof rice, is like a plate of home made ❤️. The owner, Nikki, is always friendly.
Best Nigerian food I’ve had in a while
