"Finally, a legitimate reason to blame my dad for something!!! It's all his fault that I got kick on this African cuisine and I'm glad I did it. This hole-in-the-wall joint packs a serious stamp with kindness and lota down right well cooking’. Once inside, I felt like I was in the way local joints were on holiday. Its clean and comfortable, friendly feeling as someone converts the front living room into a dining area, lol. We were greeted by Marie (see picture that was incredibly patient with the great crowd I came in. The menu is not describing at all unless you read / speak to Nigerians, which leads us all to pepper Marie with a gazillion question. She was so sweet and patient with us while she flashed the big, warm smile of her. Here's what we had: Jollof Rice (Glühte like Spanish rice coming with the goat meat stew I don't know the name. That was delicious! Plaintains are called DoDo, and the traditional chicken dish that I do not know the name. The greens were one of my favorites!!! It is called Efo, which is made from green or spinach with tomato paste and onions. YUM! Got a nice kick. The white humps remind me of Chinese bases, but they are actually beaten Yams called FuFu. These were strange when they were eaten themselves, but one very when they were combined with the green or goat stew. This is called Egusi, consisting of seeds from the Egusi vegetables. This had a kick! a very strong taste and “personality” as I call it. If I had only white rice, it would have been PERFECT! And a number of files. Wait, I have Nigerian food. Truly, this court was AMAZING!! Palm wine. It smells and saw very “fermented” meaning it did not seem very processed. Kinda reminds me how moonlight must be alcohol. I'll pass on the next time, but very glad to have tried. NOTE: We had to constantly ask for cutlery and additional plates. It could be a cultural difference. Service was a little slower than we used to, but you could say they did the best they could. Maybe we overwhelmed them with our 20 group size. They were really so nice and seemed very grateful for the business. I think they were touched by our real zeal to make us familiar with their food. A hole on the wall. Do not go if you are looking for ambience, etc. The service was very warm and hospitable. Food was DELISH! Our bill for all above including single drinks came to about $18 per person with taxes and tip. My cousin and another friend of mine checked it for a few weeks after I tried this place in August, and I think both sides loved him too!"
