A lovely Nigerian restaurant in Chicago, I had abula and it was delicious. When I visited the restaurant, the staff were nice, the atmosphere was welcoming, and they served different Nigerian delicacies. I'll recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to get good Nigerian food. Keep up the good work.
I am shocked that this place still gets business. 1 scoop of fried rice and a small slice of tilapia cost $14.99. Are you kidding me? I Sent my assistant to get the food for us to to sample their dishes for a business conference catering opportunity, called both their online number and number on receipt and the girl who answered, who I am guessing is the same rude cashier named Edith and disrespectful girl that served my assistant food, kept on hurrying me on the phone when I tried to inquire the cost of gathering for a group of 57 adults. I decided to go else where , the food was okay, but horrible portion and the customer service is deplorable. I don’t recommend, if you want quality Nigerian food with good service.
I wanted Nigerian food since I was nearby. After walking in, the place did not feel and smell clean and the floor, including the black rug where customers order, was sticky! Customers' finished eaten food waste was just left sitting on several tables. The bathroom was autrocious. The prices were exploitatively high, especially for the quantity given! Food items could be listed on the glass covering for those who do know them, especially if the server is impatient with an unprofessional customer service attitude. I will not go back in there. The experience left me wondering just what are customers supporting and why?

Three times here, food was okay but very horrible customer service.
The lady serving is always full of attitude, no smile or welcome on their faces like we are there for a military grill or horror movie. One of the dude hyperactive and always acting like he his on substance.
With good customer service this place will be better albeit the food was expensive.

First time eating Nigerian food and it was a great experience. I ate there with my family. We got pounded yam, egusi soup with beef, jollof rice with goat meat, and moi moi. The jollof rice and egusi soup tasted heavenly, so tender and the spices were perfect. Also, the negative reviews saying "it's dirty" and "the service was mean" are far from the truth. The woman that served us our food was very polite. Also, another lady came up to use when we finished and asked how we liked the food. The place is really clean and there is even paper towels at each table just incase you get messy. There is also a hand washing station by the bathrooms. A 10/10 experience and I will definitely go again.
Service wasn't great. The lady that took our order was impatient and had an attitude the whole time.
This was my first time trying Nigerian food. I thought the okro soup was delicious and had a generous amount of meat, pairing perfectly with pounded yam.
I would come back despite the shortcomings in terms of service.

The first time I went was years ago when I barely knew anything about Nigerian food and it was delicious. This time I'm cooking it on my own and the okro soup lacked in flavor but the scotch bonnet was strong. I loved that. The meat was fried to perfection and the fufu was the perfect texture. Also, the prices were extremely high for portion size. $24 for a bowl of okro soup with one extra pounded yam.
DO NOT COME HERE! I’m warning you.
If I could give 0 stars, I would. This place is a joke. We ordered delivery/takeout and they couldn’t even get the order right. The quantities are small and they forgot parts of the order. The snail I ordered came with ONE snail and a piece of chicken. WHAT IS THAT?! Rice is heavily undercooked. It’s like they didn’t even try.
Paid $100+ for low quality, poor service since they couldn’t even get the order right. DO NOT COME HERE!
