Portion Size and Presentation

Pros:

  • "Came here for the first time and I was very impressed with my order. Tried pounded yam with okra soup and I tell you what I was slumped afterwards. It was really filling and by the end I was licking the bowl clean."
  • "I am impressed with flavours, big portions and quality of food."
  • "Great portion, good service and wait time. Friendly relaxed environment."
  • "The portion was generous with just the right amount of spice…so tasty and I loved using my hand to eat this traditional dish."
  • "We ordered two main jollof meal and it's huge. This is by far the best jollof rice I've had."
  • "The portion sizes are insane! The fish pepper soup was definitely more 'mains' size."
  • "The food was well cooked and when it finished, it was refilled on instructions."
  • "The portions were very generous and the presentation was great."

Cons:

  • "We ordered the gizzard and plantain as well as a portion of snail for take out and after getting home, we found out it was in a very small plate."
  • "I had ordered the gizzard and plantain for take away when ordering our mains. It came in a small take away box for £12.99. I thought it was a joke."
  • "The food was good, particularly the egusi but the quantity of the pounded yam was small."
  • "The dishes looked delicious and it is well presented. Price was affordable and not too over priced for what it was."
  • "Huge portions. Had Talapia fish with plantain and Jollof rice and coleslaw. Very tasty, spices pack a punch."

Cons:

  • "We were utterly disappointed by the taste of the meals. We ordered for Jollof rice, semolina with efo riro and Ogbono."
  • "The assorted meat was a bit tough and hard to chew."
  • "Rating 4 stars because place was not clean enough, there were food pieces on the floor under some tables."
  • "My food did not have enough sauce, I had to ask twice, and when it was brought full of attitude, no apology."
  • "What a horrible experience. Rude staff. Arrogant. My eforiro... the tomato was not fried properly, no taste, no flavour."
  • "Food was great but waiting time was appalling. Just a family of 5. Took 30 mins alone for drinks to arrive."
  • "The food was absolutely fantastic. The service was even better, as hard as it is to top the already amazing food."
