This Nigerian spot 10/10 the food absolutely delivered. The egusi was rich, and perfectly seasoned, with a deep, comforting flavor that paired so well with the soft, pillowy fufu. Every bite felt authentic and satisfying. The jollof rice was just as impressive full of bold spice without being overwhelming. You can tell a lot of care went into getting that classic flavor just right. If you're craving real Nigerian cuisine or want to try something new, this place is definitely worth it. I'll be thinking about that egusi for a while. read more

The food was good but the okra and the egusi soup what a super small portion it was not worth the $20.

Food is amazing, service is friendly & helpful with food choices also very quick! Great vibe in the restaurant if you decide to eat in and great music. 10/10 will come again when in the area read more

Flavors Nigerian Restaurant - Jollof Rice with goat meat. Pounded Yam and Egusi Soup with Assorted Meat - African Near Me - Orlando, Florida

What a horrible people. Instead of listening to the criticism and do better, they respond to critics as being jealous or being personal. Nobody is jealous of your 3.4 stars small restaurant with bad food. Maybe if you treated customers better, you would get good reviews. Delightful restaurant is new yet bests you in every way. That's why they have 4.6stars and you don't. You're ignorant and uneducated. Stay away from this restaurant. Bad attitude, bad food. Read the reviews online. When I visit Orlando, my preference is other African restaurants not Flavors. Just nasty read more

Afrobeats has become my favorite genre of music over the past decade, and Nigeria has truly been at the heart of turning it into a global sensation. So, naturally, I had to dive into Nigerian food as well. There's a long-standing debate about who makes the best jollof rice, and if you ask me, Nigeria wins hands down, and Flavors Nigerian in Orlando proves that! Flavors is a family-owned gem, bringing a culture that's been suppressed for so long into the spotlight. Every time I come here, I feel like I'm getting an authentic taste of Nigeria, with the kind of warmth and tradition that makes the experience so special. I've tried so many dishes here, and I've yet to find one I don't like. But if I had to pick a favorite, it would have to be their chicken jollof or beef jollof. The flavors are spot on, and every bite has that signature, savory goodness you crave in Nigerian cuisine. If you're new to this kind of food or just want to try something different, I'd highly recommend giving Flavors a shot. The restaurant itself isn't fancy inside, but that's not what you're there for, the food and the people are what make it great. The staff is friendly and always makes me feel welcome, getting you everything you need for a satisfying meal. The portion sizes are generous as well. Flavors Nigerian is a true treasure, and I hope this review gives them the shine it deserves. Can't wait to go back I want some Jollof right now actually lol read more

I went to try the fufu and egusi. Honestly no flavor at all, it taste like canned tomato product and flavorless fufu. I never tried fufu and egusi to compare it elsewhere but I felt like it was missing something . Like if it had more seasoning it would be rocking lol. The beef was dry but ultimately I was ok with the experience read more

It was me and my friend's first time having the fufu and egusi the goat one and the people was very nice. I would go again because their food is greattt. read more

I come here for the fufu and egusi soup. So far I've had the beef and goat egusi soup. It hits every time. Super delicious. Only thing I don't like is the fish bones that are in the soup.. other than that, no complaints. I will continue to come here read more

We had never had nigerian food and this food was everything that I could have ever hoped for and MORE. The okra stew was a recommendation from the young man working at the front and he was SO right. I am blown away by the food quality and just how different it was than anything I had ever had before. 10/10 I will be returning again soon!! read more

Flavors Nigerian Restaurant - Jollof Rice, Egusi Soup (Pan), okra stew - African Near Me - Orlando, Florida

I ordered Abula which is half jute leaf soup and half bean soup. I personally love jute leaf so I was excited to try how it is made in Nigerian cuisine. The dish came with a side of fufu (pounded yam) and it was very filling. When ordering, you have the option to pick your protein (fish, chicken, goat, or combination). I liked having two different flavor profiles from the bean soup and jute leaf soup. The restaurant is intimate but has plenty of tables. Parking is very easy to find right in front of the restaurant as it's located in a plaza. Ordering at the front counter is simple and the wait for food is not long at all. Popular Nigerian and West African music plays throughout the restaurant. There's also a hand washing station for customers to use before they eat. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and foresee myself coming back for some more Nigerian cuisine. read more

Sooooooooo I went to the Flavors nigerian restaurant and I am going to give an honest review: Let me first say if there is ANY opportunity for competition to make some serious money, the time would be NOW!!! Currently this place has no competition in Orlando and that shows big big opportunity. Now let's get down to business. 1. I went with a friend. We planned this trip a week ago and the website clearly said they closed at 7:00pm. We ordered $80 worth of food to try this and try that. The man at the register said that they stopped dining in at 6:00pm and I kinda just looked at him cause we just travelled across the way thru classic traffic to make it before they closed. 2. The bathroom - I had to call on the name Jesus!!!! It was incredibly disgusting!!!! What a disappointment. And this is how they care about the customer experience. They don't. 3. We ordered several things and here is my take: Jollof rice - EXCELLENT Beef - was tough. Needed to be marinated and fall apart in your mouth but on the contrary it was hard. Efo RiRo with beef - EXCELLENT Fish stew- I did not even understand how the fish had NO SEASONING. Why?!?!?! Doesn't even seem like someone would send an entire fish from head to tail with do seasoning. And the stew taste like straight fish. Hmmmmmm could have been a paper soup of something with a nice flavor. It was disgusting. Ogbono soup with chicken - it was different with flavor but not horrible. My friend didn't like it at all. 4. As we are at the end of our experience the staff start arguing and making comments because the guy let us eat in the shop. They were speaking English and they were so rude and made us uncomfortable that we just started packing it up to leave. Mind you it was like 6:46 and they closed at 7:00. 5. On the up side I got a hold of a really spicy pepper and one of the ladies offered me a free bottle of water cause I almost died. Anyways. All in all. Disappointment. If you are looking to try African food like pounded yam (fufu) then just don't expect too much from the service side of the house. Idk I can't wait for a really nice flavor filled African restaurant to come to Orlando. I have pictures. And my Rating is 4 out of 15 read more

I eat out all over the country. And when I travel I try to find food some places that I haven't been to or from cultures that I haven't eaten. I've had Nigerian food that was homemade many times since I was a child but never at a restaurant. I must say this is the worst food I've ever had. Na home, at an event, or restaurant. The so-called soup was slimy and had a very strange flavor. The fufu takes like raw dough with even less flavor than flour. I hope they read this and get a new chef. The only reason I didn't give it one star was because I like the afrobeat music that was played. read more

Not ideal as far as dining in. However the food was great! Fufu (pounded yam) was a little sticky I'm not used to it being as sticky. But all around it was still very tasty! The egusii ordered was beef and just a little dry but again the kids and I enjoyed it. read more

I usual have the time to take pictures and videos of my food but not this time the food was so delicious and smelled so good I was too anxious to eat . Service was good even tho he barely understood me his son pitched in and helped . First time trying African food and Orlando and I'll definitely be back . EVERYTHINGGGG WAS EVERYTHINGGG. P.S. THAT MEANS EVERYTHING WAS WOULD IT SHOULD BE OR BETTER Definitely can't wait to Come back tm don't judge me but I forgot the names of the food I ordered but I do remember how it looks ! read more

Ok i gave this place a 2nd chance but it's the last chance. I love that the place is very colorful and authentic looking. The man there is very friendly and nice but the food, i just can't get over. I had the egusi this time. It was quite watery and bland. Only a hint of spice. I also got a side of okra soup. Same thing. Bland. For $20 and some change, they don't give you a good amount of food. read more

Amazing food and friendly staff. I also noticed that they are kind and patient to potential customers who are curious about Nigerian food and want to give it a try. Highly recommend this place for those who miss the Naija cuisine and the taste of home, and those who are curious and foodies. Bonus; afrobeats in the air!! read more

My first experience with Nigerian food. Although the food was well seasoned and flavorful, the food was dry and overcooked (the meat in particular). It tasted like it might have been sitting under heat lamps or buffet station for a long time. There was staff sitting in the seating area but did not greet us. Not sure if she was just in a break but it was clear she worked there. She also was the one that brought us our food, which came out fast. I want to give this place another chance since it is black owned and not very many African restaurants in this area. I will try them again since the food tasted good, just overcooked. Hopefully they can adjust accordingly. read more

I've spent so much money at this restaurant and today I went to just get fufu to go with a stew I made at home and they refused to sell me just the fufu. Spoke to the son, dad and mom and they all said the samething. I had to buy soup in order to get fufu. I think it's because I made my own stew and they took offense. They offered to sell me the powder and told me to go on YouTube to figure out how to make it after I asked how do you make it. I will not put anymore money in their business. They better hope I don't become their competition. read more

I wanted to try something new and also wanted to see what the hype is about with this egusi soup and fufu. The restaurant is very clean and the man at the register was very nice/friendly. The portion size to price was a little ridiculous and that's why I'm giving a 4 star rating. As a first try, I will say it's an acquired taste . read more

The foods are tasteless and extremely expensiv. they sell small eba for $17 no meat included in the soup you have to pay for the meat separatel. I sachet of ramie noddles they sold for $2.50 which is ridiculou!l. it's only $0.30 (thirty cents) at walma. All in all experience was ridiculou. Ayamase soup was watery no meat only one pathe tripe! please stay away. We need more African restaurants in Orlando this Flavor African is just doing nons! read more

Great food, make sure to get there at least 30 minutes before closing or they will try to tell you that they don't have anything just because they are trying to be done early. read more

I was in Disney World in April 2023 and was really looking forward to visiting Flavours restaurant Orlando. I took Uber $80 to and fro to this restaurant from Disney World and the food was total crap. Absolute crap. Looks like it was cooked 3 days ago. The "efo riro" looked like just 3 day old spinach mixed with water. Tasteless, bland and even the meat tasted bland . I asked before ordering if the food was freshly cooked and I was told it was. I complained to the two men I met there and they just totally ignored me. No apology, nothing. I guess they know what they were serving and had no explanation If you want and know naija food, definitely do not go here. read more

I should of walked out from the moment my nose was hit with a very strong smell. Anywho, I was too excited to try fufu and egusi soup. One chicken and one beef......... never again. The beef was sooooo tough and the taste.......... I hope to have a better experience soon, somewhere else. read more

Nooooo I can't believe we came here! This is regrettable time we can't take back. The owner who manages the register is MEAN, RUDE & EXTREMELY INPATIENT. You are to preorder & pay right the way. No time to get familiar with the menu. He didn't care to explain what anything meant and kept rolling his eyes at us! I couldn't believe he asked us to scoop to the side while he attended the person behind us, Wow!!! We stood our ground and didn't allow him. Long story short... one soup + rice entree = $43, say what??! And wasn't even sure what I ordered! Lmao Couldn't cancel bc he was constantly rushing us, not explaining, not listening. I like to support local businesses but I DON'T support disrespectful j***s. Nobody came to help us, we had to get up to get a bottle opener and boxes to go. The food was AWFUL!! The fish soup and that plain bread (looked like raw dough) were the worst I've had. The rice was basically bathed in Crisco oil & achiote with a fish chunk with bones. DO NOT RECOMMEND If you want a decent African dining experience, save up up to dine at Disney! read more

First time eating fufu and egusi soup. It was good to my tummy. Seasoned well, good temperature, and texture. Will eat it again

I'm honestly disappointed with this place. The first few times I came it was nice but then it began to get worse and worse. This last visits I made today will absolutely be my last. I tried ordering a side of jollof rice with gravy and the man at the register stated I could only get the gravy (red stew) with the combo. I ordered the combo but it still came with no gravy and when I asked for some he said he couldn't put any......... I'm paying $18 and I can't get gravy (the same stew the fish came in) on top of my rice???? Yeah I'm NEVER coming back. Guess this is what you get when you try to supporting your own people. Also, the food is Okaay. Not much taste. Just tolerable cause they're the only African restaurant in the area read more

So of course I had to try the famous fufu that I've seen all over social media whether it be TickTock or mukbangs on YouTube I had to find some thing in my area that sold Nigerian food and this seems to be the only place around that does, I was a little skeptical after reading all the reviews but I had to take a chance I ended up going on a Friday afternoon after work the place was not crowded there had to be like three other people in there and one gentleman running the cashier and I'm assuming the little store/Grocery section that they have seem to be a little overwhelmed because he lack on Personality and customer service but needless to say I ordered the pounded yams and eguis fish soup, When I got home the food was still warm and super delicious I would recommend going to this place for the food but not the atmosphere or the customer service read more

Talk about flavorless. For $12.99 there was 2 bones of unseasoned, tough meat and about 1.5 cups of cooked rice. No plantains included, no pepper sauce. I also bought a meat pie. FLAVOR LESS! A minimum amount of unseasoned beef in a yeast bun, not the usual pie crust. Waste of time and money. read more

Th egusi was so bad. I have had it before and at this place literally me and my friends all agreed it was not good. The meat (beef) was TOUGH, dry, and flavorless. The egusi tasted old and flavorless. The fufu was fine but you can't really mess that up. Very disappointing. read more
