The gentleman at the front was great. I've never tried this type of food before, and he was able to suggest and even offer samples. The food was so flavorful and well seasoned. My favorite was the rice, it had the perfect smoky taste and spicy kick. The pounded yams were a delightful experience to eat with my hands. Inside there is room for you to enjoy your food. I got my food to go. Everything was well packaged. Street parking is available. Overall I would definitely recommend trying this place. read more

My friend and I settled on this spot for dinner. My chicken was dry, Jollof was mediocre, and whiting was hard on edges (I rate it a 3). My friend said his friend rice, turkey, mackerel was delicious and it reminds him of home in Nigeria. He was very pleased and satisfied (he rated it a 5/5, so I rated a 4 for the middle). The meat pie was delicious and homemade read more

3.5 I would like to say that this is a family owned business and the server (assuming the son) was very kind. I got the fish roll for an appetizer and I was a bit disappointed because the bread was a bit dry and there was not much fish. I got the jollof rice with 2 meats (beef and chicken). I have never had jollof rice before. There was a lot of rice portion wise and that was the best item in my entire meal. The meat unfortunately was very tough and not a lot of meat in general. There was music that was playing that continually kept cutting out and then a loud tv show that was playing so it was a bit overwhelming. With that being said, I was the only person in there so I'm not sure if they would do that if more people were in. Overall, I would try this restaurant again but was disappointed with the food. I really wanted to like the restaurant since the people were kind and I know it's a small business but the food and ambiance made it difficult to enjoy. read more

This place represents Nigerian cuisine beautifully. Authentic flavors, generous portions, great customer service, and a warm atmosphere. If you want real Nigerian food done right, this is the spot. read more

Helpful service. Decent portions for the prices. The ambiance is like old school cafeteria style. They may need to let the neighborhood know they are open. read more

So amazing!! Great service, homey feel, and yummy food. Toby was so kind and made our experience unforgettable. I will definitely be back!

Gave this restaurant a try for delivery and was unfortunately left very disappointed in both the quality and portion sizes. I ordered the egusi with pounded yam and a side of plantains, and when i opened the container for the soup, I was met with a measly 1 cup worth of food, half of which was oil. In there, were 2 incredibly overcooked pieces of chicken, full of rib bones and cartilage. This chicken was so tough and dry I could not eat it. Now for the soup itself - it was lacking salt, flavor and had an almost stale taste to it. The plantains were dry and tasted as if they were fried days ago. The only redeeming part of this meal was the fufu, which was very soft and arrived piping hot. I do hope this restaurant can find its footing and put a bit more emphasis on the quality of the food they are serving, so they don't have more and more unhappy customers. read more

This food at this restaurant is authentic and delicious. The staff is very knowledgeable and very willing to explain dishes if you don't know what they are. The staff is very kind. We got the jollof rice and the pounded yams. Both were so delicious and came with huge portions. The meat was so juicy and tender. 10/10 recommend going and checking this place out! read more

DO NOT GO HERE. It is completely overpriced. 4 pieces of friend plantain for $6, ayamase stew for $25 with less than ten pieces of TINY meat. You're better off going north on Broadway for Nigerian food. read more

it was our first time trying african food and it was delicious! the server recommended the pounded yam and jollof rice, we got to choose 4 meats & all were delicious read more

Food was delicious, however the wait time was a bit long. Place looked clean and suitable.

I've ordered from this place 3 times so far, and the quality and taste has been phenomenal every single time. The service is great; sometimes when I come early to pick up an order I can hear how kind they are to people dining in and how they offer to explain what the dishes are if people aren't sure what to order. This was my first time trying African food, so I tried another popular restaurant yesterday to see the difference, and Comfort's African Cuisine will definitely still be my go to. Great prices for the portion sizes and quality! read more

Do yourself a favor and order a Puff Puff from here !! They are deliciously doughy crispy donuts that are super addictive. I ordered only two and they gave me a bag of SIX puff puffs. What a wonderful restaurant with such kind people. read more

We were new to the cuisine, but the server was so kind and attentive and made great suggestions. I had the Jollof rice with goat meat and chicken and my wife had a soup with pounded yam. We also LOVED the puff puffs! Great food, great vibe and great staff! read more

Just sampled their menu. I ordered the jollof rice with 2 meats and although it was delicious there just wasn't enough meat. They may be going through growing pains but if they do not up the portion of meat I'm afraid they won't make it. What I did order was delicious so the flavor is not an issue just give us less rice and more meat. I also ordered the meat pie and the puff puff ,the puffs were doughy and like donuts but not sweet, never had this before. I may just order the Jollof rice by itself it was that good. I'm going to give them another chance because what I did have was yummy.I'm happy to see a restaurant that is different. Give it a try. read more

Great Customer service.Food taste soo good,nice ambience...friendly staff.Dont hesitate,give them a try!Love it here!!!

This place horrible food is crap, Over priced ,when you walk in there's no one else there eating they have no business

Kid-friendliness The food is extremely good most try I recommend all ages! Wheelchair accessibility The lower level of restraint acceptable to anyone! read more

The ambience of the restaurant needs work, but the food is 10 out of 10. It's clearly family owned so go support them.

If I could give this less than 1 star I would! I love jollof and I've had plenty of jollof dishes seeing as my sister and cousin both have Nigerian & Ghanaian husbands. The rice from this place was the absolute worst! It was not only hard but taste burnt. To add insult to injury, for $20 u get a container of rice and 2 pieces of meat! Insane! read more

The food was very good, ambiance and vibes were really nice. Came here for a late night bite, our waiter recommended us some really tasty jallof rice, puff puffs, goat meat, beef and plantains. Would definitely recommend, and will be coming back soon! read more

They have completely redone this from prior restaurant and it's beautiful. A lounge upstairs, very open and bright downstairs. We went just to try some quick sides. The jollof rice didn't disappoint. Excellent flavor with a mild kick. They also offered us puff puff which is a delicious bread. Will be back to try a complete dinner. Staff was wonderfully nice, and the atmosphere was both inviting and beautiful. My kids are insisting on going back read more

Good authentic Nigerian food. There was only one person serving in the restaurant however , he was very nice and welcoming. The restaurant Need a sign on the entrance door. The table cloths were stained, requested that they take them off the table. Prices we're reasonable. Would go back again. Food was good. read more

Was excited to try out this restaurant with my guy and it hit the spot! We had the meat pie appetizer which was perfectly flaky, followed by jollof rice with 2 meats (we ordered goat and beef) as well as the rice with ayamase stew and it was enough food to take home for lunch the next day. The ayamase stew was spicy but so good, and I'm glad we forgot to order it mild because it ended up being perfect as is. I wanted to get the puff puff for dessert but was too stuffed by the end of our meal to order anything else. Will try them next time! read more

My friend and I shared an order of the jollof rice with fish and goat. The rice was nicely spiced, the fish was tasty, but the goat meat was tough, even 'old'. For the $23 plus tip, I would have expected at least a side dish or salad, sauces, etc. I hope this is seen as constructive criticism... read more

Delicious!! Really nice people & fantastic jollof rice. Will definitely be back, excited to have them in the neighborhood

The goat meat had great flavor and the server was incredible! I also loved the vibe of the place, very cute!
