“This is by far the best Nigerian restaurant in Chicago. All of the food I had was perfectly spiced and the portions are generous. The Amala was tasty. I came for the jollof and stayed for that fish in red sauce!!! I wanted to lick my plate clean!!”
“My siblings and I went for my brother's birthday and the food was delicious. We got jollof rice, amala with goat meat and ghost meat prppersoup, the service was very friendly and welcoming, the inside was cute, clean and inviting. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to try or looking for an authentic Nigerian spot”
“The cashier has weird energy, it smelled like weed inside and both of those first comments could’ve been happily ignored if the food was actually good, but I don’t know about you, but I would never come back for chicken like this. I put it away and threw it away in the garbage. It was old and uneditable. Shane on you. There’s nothing more I like to do than support, black and brown business, but I will never come back here again. This was food without any thought or integrity.”
“TLDR: Food was great but service was poor. I had the Amala and abula combo which comes with a mix of goat meat and assorted, it was arguably the best Amala I’ve had in a restaurant in Chicago. But the service took so long after we placed the order, it seemed like only one person was waiting on everyone in the restaurant and taking all orders and payment at the cashier.”
“Good food, friendly service, helpful with my ignorance of nigerian cuisine. Very spicy.”
“Ordered jollof rice and goat on Uber eats and my taste buds were jumping. Haven't had such good jollof in a while. And the portion was great too! Absolutely no regrets on this order”
“I’ve been looking for a Nigerian restaurant in Chicago that has really good Abula and they do. The Amala is really soft. It’s delicious and will definitely be back”
“The tilapia was amazing as well as the jollof rice and plantains, service was great too - highly recommend!”
