   Decided to try this restaurant out while visiting Reading and looking for African/Nigerian stores & restaurants, and I definitely wasn't disappointed. Might be considered a tad pricey, but it's worth every penny. Food and service was top notch. 100% recommend

   This is by far my worst experience at this restaurant. I have been here a few times and today's visit was absolutely horrible. We visited this restaurant as part of a large family group today 29th July 2023. The waiter forgot our table and after being reminded a few times about our table he came to take our orders after over 1hr 30minutes of being at the restaurant. Our family group paid for all our meals and left us at the restaurant. Our food was still not ready. My Monica fish was served after over 2 hours at the restaurant. My husband's chicken quarters with jollof rice was served about 30 minutes after mine. Then the nkwobi, the edikaikong soup, and finally the 2nd Monica fish was served, and we spent a total of 3.5 hours at this restaurant. How can there be only one waiter serving and one at the bar? The dishes on the tables were cleared after over 2 hours because the poor waiter was overwhelmed and we felt sorry for him. He acknowledged that he forgot about us and then tried to make it up to us. Other customers were angry and upset with the delay to their food. 805, this is a mess. Fix this and put a working system in place to accommodate a large group of people. I have never had a great experience at this restaurant.

   If you want food poison, this is the place to eat! The ‘chef’ was very rude when we mentioned to the waitress that the stew tasted off… We could hear the chef from the kitchen saying “if they don’t like it, they should leave it”. Wouldn’t recommend this restaurant. Tried a few times and it’s the same problem every time. The chef clearly is not qualified to be a chef if she doesn’t know what spoilt stew tastes like? Disgraceful.

   If a Nigerian restaurant can't cook stew what hope is there for the rest of the menu. The fried rice was the worst I've ever tasted in my entire life! Enter at your own risk.

   The food was amazing. It took long to arrive but was definitely worth it. I'd advise you have something to eat before you head there. Lovely, clean, relaxing atmosphere and wonderful service.

   Loved the nkobi and suya I don't know the name of the soup I ate but it definitely wasn't Oha as requested. The edikakong was just okay nothing exta about it. Good ambience, lovely staff

   Dont be fooled by the looks of it. This place is very nice. Heard about it from a friend who Really likes the food. Decor is beautiful. Portions are big! food is really tasty. We were the only ones there on a Tuesday 17.40. Took the kitchen 15min to have our food ready. Prices are ok. same price you pay at TGI, Franco, Wagamamas, starters from £8 and main meal £12-£17 It is a good place to take friends or family members. It's surprisingly very wheelchair friendly !

   Great tasting authentic African dishes. I've been a few times and been impressed each time with the service and quality of the dishes.
