  Decent food for a buffet Good aesthetic Horrible workspace/Customer retention. $32.46 per person and $15 for kids, which is not bad, but a horrendous workspace environment. The staff are underpaid, and overworked with it being as bad as just one staff on duty. During my visit it was just one male waiter named Emmanuel tending to everyone, taking orders and cleaning up after the customers which caused a whole lot of traffic. He had very good communication and customer service, and was very nice and welcoming but I witnessed him getting yelled at by one of the cooks. Be expected to wait 30+ minutes more than promised for any walk in and over the phone orders. The food is actually good, but some of the items can be quite expensive relative to their size. They also need to treat their staff better.

  Im a person that came to look at the reviews before trying the restaurant. I see alot of negative reviews regarding the flavor or not spicy enough and blaming the chef. I honestly dont think its the chef's fault. Restaurants try to cater to everyone and that is why they tone down the spices and flavors, that leaves alot of people unhappy. I really wanted to taste the authentic African flavors and spices but if the food has been cooked for the American version then I wouldn't come to this place. Perhaps have two varieties, real authentic dishes and Americanized dishes? Just my thought.

  The staff very friendly, atmosphere beautiful and clean. Food l would rate a 2.5. Rice was dry, red stew was not tasty. Egusi was plumpy no taste its like its cooked with a lot of red oil. Abongo no taste, all the meat was hard to chew. Peppe soup too watery. Plantin burnt, no roasted fish most of the fruits and salad was gone . Mind you this was around 6:50pm. To think this is a Nigerian Restaurant 🤔 is unbelievable no spices. Food was cold and tasteless. Most of the food was out...: apparently they had a big occasion earlier ". Mind you they didn't tell us when we got in and paid that the food was running low. I dont mind returning if they changed the cook and kept the food hot and rolling specially considering its a buffet. It's not supposed to run out of food. The plates are small, if you dont finish you pay extra even if the food wasn't good. They only have one ladies bathroom l wonder how it would be if it were full. I believe that this could be a really great place to come and dine with family and friends how ever they need to improve on their dishes by adding flavor and keeping the food hot and filling when the foods out. Not taking people's money in the name of buffet yet forcing you to eat what you dont want cause you already paid. For now l wouldn't recommend this place.
