Visiting CA, and wanted to try some Nigerian food. I was impressed with the portions and when I say it was a hit! I mean, I made sure to take the leftovers. There was no licking of the plate, but there was definitely licking of...Read More

First time and we are from out of town- stopped by on a Sunday afternoon after visiting the flea market. We got inside at 1:45pm and had to immediately go back to the car to grab jackets and sweaters are it is ARCTIC in there. My daughter has REALLY been wanting to try fufu, so this was her pick. First one of the two servers working asked if we were dining in or taking out- we opted for the former since we had some time before we had to be at our next stop. The server waved us towards a table by the door, gave us menus and went back to serving the customers who were picking up takeout. She swung back to us maybe 30 minutes later with a weak, “sorry for the wait” . We attempted to order the pepper soup, but she told us “that one will take too long” so we took one of her other suggestions. Asked for a ginger beer too. Looked around and saw some folks looking really restless. Turns out they were waiting a long time for their food. One lady started yelling at them about her takeout order that she called in “2 hours ago”. Another table went up and let them know that they had to leave soon. They were given something to snack on and miraculously a few minutes later their food appeared. At some point the server came back to me and told me that they don’t have ginger beer. Bummer. At the 1.5 hour mark we asked her to just make our order to-go, to which she said, “WHY?” We explained that we had somewhere else to be. She said that they were playing the food. We said that we still needed it to-go. More waiting and commiserating with other patrons who were also freezing and frustrated. Just before finally bringing out our food the server again came to hit us with the news that they were out of pounded yam and asked what we would like to substitute. I was done. We said whatever and at the 2 hour mark walked out with our food. Craziness. The rice was nothing special. We ordered a goat dish and got fish instead. The kicker- she charged me for the yams and the ginger beer. AVOID this place. 0 out of 10 do not recommend. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $30–50 Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1
