Whoever left anything under than 4 or 5 is bat shi* crazy. Had an incredible experience here. You…read morecan tell how amazing of a leader -- the chef truly is. We learned about Everett Gordon through the snippets that our waiter shared so passionately. And you can feel the love in the food! Ambience and customer service was top tier. Faves: mushroom tartine, branzino, lamb pops, along with the 6 other dishes we had! Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5

Everything was kind of just alright. Would rate 2.5…read more The location is really cute but the playing is interesting. When you sit you already have small plates and things at the table which makes sense for indoors but with the desert setting there was sand everywhere. The tables were also covered in sand which obviously isn't their fault but you would think it would be wiped and set before seating. The fresh drinks were imo the best part by far. They were so delicious and like I said very fresh. The kale salad was alright not really much flavor and weirdly soggy. The beet salad was incredible but definitely NOT enough to share considering everything is served family style (and especially with the price). Burger was alright, my sister had this and said "nothing stood out". Again not enough to be considered "family style". With everything being $30-$40 with recommended 4-5 plates per table with family style I would assume they would actually be shareable sizes. Service was good. Our waitress was amazing and so knowledgeable about the menu. The only thing is there was an older woman as hostess who was kind of just there? She said hi and got to the point but no one said bye or have a good night when we were leaving other than our waitress.

We had the traditional plate with selections that included the yam, egusi, and beef for protein…read more Waited about 10 minutes for prep and I was excited to try some authentic Nigerian food! The collared greens was tasty, the yam reminded me of Hawaiian poi that was starchy and earthy. The beef could've been cooked better, though. It was really hard and tough to chew: I was a little disappointed. If the beef had been served tender and juicy (soaked in the collared greens sauce) I would've given 5 stars only because I don't think it was worth what we were charged for our dishes. Two pieces of beef that wasn't serving standard in my honest opinion. The store front is located in the food court of the Moreno Valley mall. There's a lot of dining tables and chairs throughout the food court and other food shops surrounding the dining court. There's tons of parking spaces and the mall wasn't very busy so parking is easy. I love African food and compared to my favorite spot in San Diego, this one is not on my list to revisit, unfortunately. Not for the price or quality.

Serious food safety issue - people could get sick eating here…read more I was served undercooked chicken. It was not fully cooked on the inside, which is extremely dangerous and could make someone seriously sick. The food also looked like it had been sitting out, and overall everything felt unsanitary and careless. When I brought this to the owner's attention, she laughed and didn't take it seriously at all. No concern, no apology, no accountability. That alone is alarming when you're talking about raw chicken being served to customers. On top of that, I paid $4 for a drink and the employee told me they weren't allowed to fill it up because the owner said not to. So you're paying full price for half a drink, while being served unsafe food. This place shows zero care for customers or basic food safety. Please protect your health, save your money, and stay away from this restaurant.
