The jollof was spicy (in a good way!) but a bit flavorless, and the chicken was pretty dry. The soups were also on the bland side for me. That said, everyone's taste is different -- just because it wasn't for me doesn't mean others won't enjoy it. The staff was friendly, and I'm still glad I gave it a try. I'll definitely keep exploring more African/Caribbean spots!

The beef was a tasty addition to the egusi adding more flavor and protein. The fufu was nice and warm and had a great texture. I know we will be back to try other items. Food aside, I would like to see some improvements to the seating and decor. It was giving pizzeria when I was hoping for more cultural vibes.

We stumbled upon this place and boy am I glad we did because the food was absolutely divine! I had the garnished tilapia with jollof rice and vegetables. Not sure what vegetables I was eating perhaps spinach but they were cooked to perfection. Bae had the garnished goat meat which was so tender and I appreciate the bite sized cuts instead of the chunky portions. I low key wished I had gotten the goat. We ended up getting a side of jollof rice because the goat meat plate did not come with any sides. I will definitely be back if I am on that side of town again. The four stars are because I wish they adjusted the spice levels. I like my food spicy and Bae who is Yoruba's spice level is not for this world! so the food wasn't as spicy to both of us as we would've liked. Service was a little bit slow, but I think it's because they do make the food fresh. Nice clean restaurant great customer service and cannot wait to be back next time I'm in humble

I canNOT believe what I have been missing!!! I tried the egusi soup with pounded yam and was literally floored by how good it was. I brought some home for my wife and kids and they all loved it. I've been back several times since. Unfortunately I NEVER see anyone in there so I hope they are getting enough service to stick around. I've had their jerk wings as well as their jollif rice and all of it is amazing. The restaurant itself is simple and the staff friendly.

I am not very experienced with African…read morecuisine outside of South African restaurants and a few Ethiopian-style places, so this was a very new experience for me. Overall, I found the food to be very flavorful, well seasoned, and unique. My daughter and I actually ended up liking each other's meals more than our own, so we switched plates, which worked out well. We also ordered a few extra items, including wings and yams. The pounded yam was interesting and very different from anything I usually eat. It is probably not something I would go out of my way to order again, but I am glad I tried it and now understand a little better how it is eaten. The one disappointing part of the visit was the ordering experience. The young man who rang us up was polite, but he was unable to make any recommendations. He said he had been working there for about three months and still could not really suggest what to order. For someone like me, who is unfamiliar with this type of food, recommendations would have been very helpful. I would have appreciated some guidance on the most popular dishes, common choices, or what first-time customers usually enjoy. That said, the owner was extremely kind. She came out to our table, spoke with us, and helped explain how to eat some of the food we had ordered. I really appreciated that. She came across as a very sweet person, and based on her hospitality alone, I would come back to support the business. This style of food may not personally be my cup of tea or something I will crave often, but I respect the flavor, the care, and the local business behind it. I would give Bantu House four stars. It could have been closer to 3.5 for me personally, mostly because of the lack of ordering guidance, but the owner's kindness and the quality of the food pushed it to four.

The golden bowl is what they have samples of before you order.

The steak was supposed to be tender, but it was tough and chewy, and I only received three tiny pieces for a $10 steak add-on. I ordered my meal to go and didn't realize until I got home that my order was incorrect. I specifically ordered it with jollof rice, but I was given plain white rice instead. I tried to give the restaurant a chance to make things right by calling them. Instead of addressing my concerns, I was told they were busy and to call back in a few hours. That was frustrating, especially after spending $40 on a meal and an appetizer. Overall, the small portions, poor quality steak, incorrect order, and lack of immediate customer service made this one of the worst dining experiences I've had. Unfortunately, I won't be returning, and I can't recommend this restaurant based on my experience.

When I woke up this morning and checked DoorDash it said that the order was picked up at 7:37pm and my card was charged $60, which is honestly too much for 2 soups and 2 appetizers. Also on top of that the location was sketchy, had no visible signage, and was dirty. Would not recommend this place at all if I could give negative stars I would.

I shared the fufu with egusi soup with stewed goat added, the Stewed Hen, Moin Moin, & Jollof Rice, and the meat pie with a friend and it was plenty for both of us. The fufu with egusi soup was super delicious with a spicy kick that I loved (7/10) . The plate was the star of the meal. Everything from the stewed hen, to the rice, to the greens were all so well seasoned and I truly enjoyed every bite (8.5/10). The meat pie was also delicious with a savory filling and the pastry was thick and buttery but surprisingly not overbearing considering the pastry to filling ratio (8/10). Overall the food was awesome and seemed quite authentic. Would definitely come back to support this small local business!

Ms. Ade was helpful and took time to explain what was available to order. I personally did not plan on eating Amala because I usually do not like/eat it. My friend ended up ordering the Amala, of course, and I got the goat pepper soup with a side of rice. To my lovelyyyyy surprise I ended up eating the Amala with my friend because IT. WAS. DELICIOUS! While ordering I did mention that I don't like/eat Amala and Ms. Ade confidently stated that if I ate theirs, I would enjoy. I'm so glad she was right. Easily a 9.5 out of 10. Our only critique was that it could've had a bit more meat. But the portion was great. We were even full and had some leftover. (no amala photos taken because we demolished it lol, a reason to go see/experience it for yourself) I did eat some of my pepper soup and it indeed was pepper-ish. Although it was yummy, it was a bit too much for my liking. I would recommend for those who have a very high spice tolerance. Ended up spending a little over $55 but highly worth it due to taste, portion size and service :) Would absolutely recommend and would revisit to order Amala that I used to not even eat lol.

"If we will not eat it we will not sell it." -Marvin Amadi (Owner)…read more So my husband told me that we needed to try out Naija Eatery because he had their Pepper Soup and LOVED it. We decided to go after church service. This place right next to an African food store. When we walked it the place was very intimate and had the really gooood Afro beats playing on the big screen TVs. IB the waitress/ hostess greeted us and allowed us to pick Our seats. My advice: Don't look at menus, but ask IB instead. It pretty much worked like this: We: 1. Picked our rice (plantains are included as a side) 2. Pick meat (goat, fish, chicken, or beef) 3. Order the moi moi (a must have if you are new to Nigerian Cuisine) The menu had a wide variety of soups and stews, but I'm not much of a menu reader. I usually go with what the waitress or waiter recommends. I had the Jallof rice with plantains, goat, and moi moi. Now, I am an American that knows and loves spicy food. THIS Nigerian food is perfection.... Not too spicy as some Nigerian restaurants can be. The best thing is, if you want it spicy, the chef will bring it to the back and add the spices to your liking. I had the pleasure of speaking with the Chef. Her name is Auntie Christy. She recommended (for people that are really looking for a taste of Nigeria) : Fisherman's soup! She said that it has a lot of ingredients from the Motherland and is one of her most exquisite dishes. I brought some home to my husband and he LOVED IT! as did me and Our children She did NOT disappoint! I also had the pleasure of speaking with the Owner whose name is Marvin and he mentioned how good The Egusi and Ogbono soups are when mixed together. I will be sure to try that next time we go! Did I mention that I brought my elders who are from Nigeria (Edo State) and they said that the food "Tastes like HOME". This is the place to go if you are looking for an Authentic taste of Nigerian Cuisine!

The meat with sauce was really delightfully salty and complemented the neutral fufu. Much of the meat is collagen so I'm not sure if I would get it again though. The egusi was right in the middle in terms of spice and flavor and also very beginner friendly! This thing can feed like 3 people because fufu is so filling. For the appetizer we also tried a beef pie! Pretty good, nothing super outstanding but I liked it :) Ola our server was happy to tell us all our options and even gave us free Nigerian bread with Nigerian butter on the house! I'm not sure what was different about it but it smelled very sweet and had the similar texture to milk bread. Also being two Asian females apparently attracted some attention because gentlemen from a different table tried to pay for our drinks and they were very curious where we were from. This has no bearing on the establishment I just wanted to mention it cuz it was so startling. No worries though because we gracefully (?) fended off their advancements. Definitely felt welcomed here though haha.

My boyfriend has never eaten it, and I wanted him to try some good Nigerian food. After getting in touch with my sister and checking yelp reviews, we decided on this place. Upon entry, we were greeted by two nice young ladies behind the counter. The restaurant is cute, cozy, and clean. The clean was a plus. Clean in the parking lot and most definitely inside. I enjoyed my food. My boyfriend enjoyed his as well, but the meat was a little tough for his liking. Other than that, we enjoyed everything, and there was so much food. He said he will be back to try the other dishes, so it looks like I have swayed that Louisiana man into eating Nigerian food. We have added this place to our bookmark.
