  We were really excited to try this restaurant and ordered a wide variety of dishes to get the full experience, spending around $260 for our family. Unfortunately, the food was extremely disappointing across the board. Every dish contained large amounts of bone and very tough cuts of meat, which made it difficult to eat and not enjoyable for a first-time experience. The textures were also a major issue—okra soup was overwhelmingly slimy, the pounded yam was both dry and overly mushy at the same time, and the egusi included very strong-tasting dried fish that completely overpowered the dish. What stood out most was the inconsistency in flavor: the broths were heavily seasoned, but the meat itself tasted underseasoned and poorly prepared. Overall, nothing felt balanced or approachable, especially for those trying this cuisine for the first time. We genuinely wanted to enjoy this meal and were open to trying something new, but unfortunately, it was not edible for us and we ended up discarding most of it. I understand this may be traditional preparation, but for the price and quality, this experience was very disappointing.

  Pius was so kind and helpful. This was my first time trying a lot of these dishes and he was super good at informing us on his favorites and recommendations. We had the $29.99 dinner buffet.
