Just excellent. Had the smoky jollof rice with goat. It was well seasoned and spicy but in a way that added to the dish. I tried the kunu drink which I wasn't expecting it to be fermented but was tasty though might not be to everyones liking, if you like kombucha I would suggest checking it out. The service is a little slow since it's just a small place in a strip mall but the food was fresh and worth the wait. I look forward to coming back the next time I'm in town.
I love it here! The food is reminds me so much of back home! My favorite thing to order is the Ofada and asun! I go specifically on Sundays for the efo and I always pair it with a zobo. i always leave with a snack box to have for later. The fish roll and puff puff are always so fresh and tasty! everyone here is so nice and always greets me with a smile! I love how you can sign the wall and stamps that you've been there there. The music is always a vibe!
Fabulous food! We will be coming here again. It's best to get your food to go, as the space is limited for eat-in dining. The service was prompt and friendly.
Great Nigerian influenced finger foods! Love the overpriced chin chin!!! I will definitely be back when I visit Plano again!
We've driven past this small restaurant many times and I finally was curious enough to see what it actually was, glad I did! I've never had Nigerian food, but it's really tasty and there's something for both the timid and the adventurous. Only minor warning is the pepper kebabs are very good, but my girls found them a bit spicy. Hope they continue to have good success - I enjoy living in an area that can support so many kinds of cuisines!
Really good experience here. The jollof rice is so fragrant and packed with flavor. Puff puffs were freshly fried and very springy, not too sweet. Rice with designer stew was spicy but still really good. There were different meat parts that you could tell were stewed for a long time. One of the other things that impressed me were their homemade juices that they have bottled. I got the zobo which was refreshing and had a little kick to it. Would definitely come back!
I was so excited to try this place!!!! I grew up eating lots of Nigerian food so having a place in Plano where I could grab a bite w friends and family is near and dear to my heart. Walking in the restaurant was cute and clean with a beautiful aesthetic and a cool signing wall. The lady at the front was kind and welcoming and let us know that it's family owned. I loved the feel of the place, I bought the hibiscus drink to sip on as I waited for my food (as someone who is picky I can tell you it was perfect mix between sweet and spiced). Since I was buying for the family, I took my food to go. It smelled so good on the way home that it was so hard not to eat in the car but I made it. My fam and I loved the jollof, egusi, pounded yam and fried plantains. The taste was good and traditional, you can def tell it's a Nigerian mama back in there cooking up a storm. They give us good portions for the price too which I was happy about ! I was too busy getting to eating that I forgot to take a pic of my main plate - but I included one of the Oreo puff puff which I also had to try! They were sooo tasty- have a generous amount of the traditional puff puff around the soft, yummy Oreo center. I will definitely be back soon #CHOPLIFEGANG
