Came here on a Sunday evening with my family. Been here a few years ago and my God has it changed. When we walked in the environment was not expected. In the middle tables was 20 men having a “boys night” with loud music and football playing on the tv. Sitting behind us was a man who was asleep???? For food you could pay £25 for a limited buffet of rice, pounded yam stews and a selection of meats. On the main menu they had a wide variety and everything was available to order. But i must say if you are not a patient person don’t come here. We waited a total of 70 minutes for our food to arrive and it wasn’t even busy!! But if we ignore all of this the food was really good and i would recommend to try if u don’t mind loud places and a ridiculous waiting time. And finally i cant leave out how kind the owner was, he was very helpful and accommodating 10/10 for him.

Just be patient. The food is worth the wait. Good portions, very hot,fresh. The Bitter leaf was spot on.

Do not order from this website!!! I ordered food and they gave me a spoon of soup, not even half way in the plastic container, I complained to them about how this is unacceptable to buy food which I payed for and I am not even exaggerating the ocro soup and pounded yam, my pounded yam I couldn’t even finish it because there was absolutely no soup left, the owner said he will send another one but he did not….stupid service I will never be ordering from them again, nobody else should….very poor service, like if I pay for something I should get my moneys worth!

Ordered beans recently and it was filled with so much insects in it. Ordered 1.5L coke but instead got 330ml....Past orders has included meat which was already going bad/ small portion of food. Never ordering again. I have been patient enough

Decor beautiful. Lovely comfortable clean seats, tables clean, 2 large TV with music videos playing in background, TV a bit too loud but manageable. Food excellent, service excellent, bit pricey but OK. Toilet is tiny, whole restaurant is small, if it gets packed, there would be no space to move around at all. Other than them small negatives, generally its a really nice clean restaurant.

First time I ordered from this place. 3 pieces of small meat two beef and one shaki both beef were ROCK HARD tasted like charcoal, couldn’t eat it , and Iv never seen egusi look this blended out , I’m extremely unimpressed and I was looking forward to the food it’s a shame. I’ll be getting a refund

Was served assorted goat meat pepper soup, which was nice. Unfortunately had to cancel my order for ofe onugbo soup and swallow, because waited for over an hour after finishing my pepper soup, and had to leave. Service needs to improve!!!

Atmosphere friendly and informal .We sat where we wanted. Very friendly and helpful service with the menu. Reasonably priced. The food was worth waiting for. Loved my choice of oxtail, fried rice and plaintains. Family very happy with their choice of pounded yam mixed meat in rich tomato sauce and the Jollof rice with fish. The Jollof was so tasty. Will definitely visit again.

Really high quality buffet, lovely interior design, excellent jollof and egusi soup. The best Nigerian restaurant in London!

I was at the restaurant with my wife yesterday, and that was our first visit. We chose the Buffet option and it was fantastic.The pepper soup was nice, my wife had rice and assorted meat and she commended it highly. I had pounded yam, and it was excitingly satisfying. The bitter leaf soup was so good, plus the people were warm and nice.When I compared the negative reviews I read to what I saw yesterday, I can only conclude that the improvement they have made is outrightly fantastic. The only downside (and which is not the restaurant's fault) is getting a place to park, and which of course we eventually got across the road at a token as parking charge.We intend to visit again!

Buffet wasn't replenished for ages so I started my meal on what looked like bits - no meat or chicken. Several pots were empty and weren't filled up. Surely giant get my money's worth.

DO NOT order from this restaurant as mentioned from someone previously the portion size is absolutely ridiculous for £15, I was told the cost of living means they can’t refund or partially refund my order, but can give me money off a future order, okay? But why is that my problem? I told the lady I will not be ordering again. Cost of living is a problem for everyone all the more reason to give people what they expected instead of conning customers into thinking they are getting more. I told her I complained through the app I ordered from she told me she would fight it. What kind rubbish be this? If this keeps happening the business will not last so good luck. This isn’t how to treat customers, utterly disappointed!

Like the new decor, muted and modern. Food is still good. They just need to address 'naija time' service.

I ordered a whole grilled fish and a side of fried plantain and I can tell whoever cares to read that there's absolutely nothing grilled about that fish. It tasted like it was done in a airfryer hurriedly. Tasted bland. No love or soul was put into that cooking. The plantain was so soft and soggy, you'll think I ordered ewa agoyin. And my food came1 hour and some change, after my order was confirmed. I don't know how yall cook with the hope that your loopholes are well disguised with the ganish. I wish it tasted like it looked, because that was some topnotch garnishing.
