Got big size glob of hummus that had the consistency of play dough and very dry. Veggies were celery, carrots, sliced cucumbers and some fried 1/2 round (ritz sized) chip. For me at least the appetizer wasn't very tasty and I'm glad I had some water to drink! Ordered some soup and soup was decent but ordering a "bowl" results in getting a 1 1/2 size cup of soup. A member of my party ordered the football shaped pot pie which had a nice presentation with some burnt edges. To me at least it was more of a corn and chicken pot pie instead of having the vegetables I'm used to seeing (peas, green beans, etc). Tastes fine but I've tasted much better. One member of the party loved the sweet potato tots and their wrap. Only one person tending the bar and tables. Food took a while to be served. Tip level started at 20%! I'm not interested in going back.

They were microwaved and still had the stems on them which means they weren't cleaned up at all. Really nasty and not what you would expect from a fine dining spot. The entrees came out and the plates had food stains on them. So the back of the house definitely isn't following best practices when it comes to cleaning and sanitizing which is a really huge eww. This used to be a great spot to get a good meal but things have definitely changed for the worse. Service was not good either. We saw 3 groups of people leave after not being acknowledged by the wait staff. This place needs new management asap.

The okro, which has okra, is a kind of spicy curry and the owner was kind enough to warn us as we placed the order. We ate both with the pillowy soft fufu. The veggie and chicken bowls were filled to the brim and contained jollof rice, plantains, and tart green leafy veggies with green bell pepper. Additionally the veggie bowl had refried beans and the chicken bowl had shredded chicken. Delicious and hearty bowls. Must try in the East Lansing district.

I love Nigerian food and have tried many restaurants, so I know what I like and what I don't. When…read moreI heard about a new Nigerian restaurant in East Lansing, I was excited to give it a try. When I arrived, I was the only customer. I was greeted with a simple "hello," which gave me a good first impression. The restaurant itself looks very new, with a decent amount of seating, including some lounge seating tucked away in a small hallway. There was a large TV on wheels displaying a slideshow of the menu, which was a bit unconventional but not necessarily a bad thing. At the register, I started asking the cashier a few questions to understand the menu better. The layout was different from other Nigerian restaurants I've been to, and I wasn't seeing the exact dishes I usually order. However, instead of being helpful, the cashier responded with a snarky attitude, making it feel like my questions were an inconvenience. He then suggested the Spartan Bowl, listing the ingredients, and I thought it sounded good. He mentioned needing to check if they had the drumsticks for it, then walked away. I stood there waiting for a while before assuming he had gone to prepare my order, so I sat down. About 10-15 minutes later, he returned with a box in his hand. Without a word, he rang up my order, I paid, he bagged my food, and he simply walked away. No "thank you," no "enjoy your meal," no effort to make me feel welcome--just silence. When I looked at my meal, it didn't look appetizing, but I kept an open mind. Unfortunately, the taste confirmed my concerns. The plantain was overcooked and burnt, the sauce on the chicken was unpleasant, and the chicken itself was tiny and unappealing. The only redeeming part of the meal was the jollof rice, which was just decent. I won't be returning. The poor customer service and disappointing food made for an overall bad experience. I hope they improve both their hospitality and their food quality because first impressions matter. If you're curious, I'd say try it for yourself--but as of now, I can't personally recommend it.
