Oh no, I ordered a beef stew with fufu and plantains. The Plantains are beyond burnt and theres no beef in my stew??? I don't even know what it is. There's barely any soup it looks like all oil. I don't even know and it is SOOO overpriced. They made me wait for 30 minutes aswell. But the waiter was sweet. read more

I normally like this place. I order the same thing every time. Egusi and Pondo. Lately the quality of food has been bad. I went to pick up my food and once I got home and tried the egusi. It was dry and burnt. Every bite I took I tasted the burn in the food. Like I said I normally like this place I guess it's a hit or miss whether you're getting good quality food. I feel as though if you burn the food you shouldn't be selling it to customers. There is no way they didn't notice that. Egusi is not dry... please pay attention to these things especially when I spent 25 dollars on my order just not to eat it. In the picture you can clearly see it's dry. No liquid in it whatsoever. read more

It's hard to successfully navigate new cuisine without help. It's been twenty some years since I first tried Indian food. I don't remember what I ate, but I definitely remember fumbling the order. Within the past several weeks, I noticed that Naija, a Nigerian restaurant, opened on the Berlin Turnpike near my home. I went in cold, and ordered Jollof rice with beef. The rice was great and I enjoyed it. The beef was a bit more challenging for me. I knew I needed help. Enter Yelp. My now Yelp friend Chi A. reviewed Naija and her review said she is Nigerian. Chi was gracious enough to let me tap her knowledge and she recommended I try efo riro soup. Tonight, I ordered it for takeout. Efo riro is a fantastically flavorful spinach based stew. Naija serves it with a choice of protein, and I chose chicken. When I call efo riro a spinach stew, it's not because there is noticeable liquid. It seems like it's more of a braise, and the spinach absorbs the liquid. It's spicy and I maybe picked up some chicken bouillon flavor. I tasted some sort of hot pepper product. It's basically a spinachy, flavor bomb. Who would like efo riro? If you like saag paneer, you would like efo riro. If you like spinach and spicy food, you would like efo riro. Really, if you like spicy food, and you're open to braised greens, you'll like it. The chicken was served with a tasty red sauce that I assume is tomato-based. The chicken was a bit denser than I'm used to. I'm not sure if that's a style choice, of if it was just cooked a bit too long. Doesn't matter, efo riro was the star tonight. read more

Delicious Nigerian food! I ordered the grilled fish with plantains and jollof rice with fish. It does take a while if you order the grilled fish though, however the fish was huge! It comes with a spicy sauce on the side which is veerry spicy. Be warned. The jollof only comes with two pieces if the protein but both the fish and rice was delicious and flavorful. The jollof is not spicy. The fried fish was also good, the flesh was nice and tender. Definitely order the jollof! read more

The restaurant doesn't look like much from a Birdseye view however, once you walk in, I was greeted with such bright and happy smiles in open arms. I really felt welcome. I kept it pretty simple. I ordered jollof rice with the fish as my protein and a side of plantains. The food was amazing so much that I left the review should definitely try them out. read more

As a guy who hasn't had a lot of Jollof in his life, I was happy when I discovered there was an African spot down the street. For 10$ or 13$ you get a huge serving of rice and one protein. The rice is so flavorful and you ll have enough leftovers for dinner. Im not sure what the difference is between Nigerian and Ghanaian Jollof is, but this is pretty delicious! Not a lot of African places in CT, so I would definitely try if you're looking to branch out. read more

Delicious, affordable, and family friendly restaurant. Located in the Berlin Tpke nestled away. I always am torn between the red sauce w/ poundo accompanied by whiting or fried stew. read more

I really wish I loved this restaurant cause it's the only jollof that delivers. I decided to fulfill my jollof craving with Nigerian jollof instead of my usual Ghanaian today and I'm sorely disappointed. Not only did I spend twice what I usually spend for a lot less, the jollof was not in the least spicy and the rice didn't seem like it had been simmered and cooked for a long period of time like it should be. I like my rice a little burnt, crispy textured nuanced. This didn't have any. Plus it wasn't served with anything other than meat. There was no shito, no egg, no nothing. The flavor was very disappointing. The meat they gave me tasted old and really gamey. I'm not one that's picky at all, but I will definitely go to burnside ave next time I'm having my jollof craving. Sorry I really really wanted to love this place, but alas it wasn't meant to be. read more

Naija Restaurant - Jollof with turkey and meat - Food Delivery Services Near Me - Newington, Connecticut

This is the first Nigerian restaurant I have been to. May be this is the only one in CT. And I loved the food. Everything had flavor. Nigerian red fried stew was probably my favorite. It was both flavorful and spicy. Ofada was flavorful, but less spicy. Egusi was a mild in heat as well as flavor. They recommended Egusi with Amala. Amala is kind of a pounded yam, similar to fufu. I also tried a couple of their drinks. Gingeraade was a super strong ginger drink. Go for it if you love ginger flavor. Emu palm wine, tasted a lot like the alcoholic palm wine. It was slightly sour. It is not alcoholic though. Overall quantity was small, prices are expensive, and food tastes good. read more

To begin, it's only fair to say that I have no idea what Nigerian food is supposed to taste like. I will say that what I tasted, was quite good. I chose the red sauce stew, which is offered with either fish, chicken or "meat". My choice, naturally, was "meat". The well done beef tips were obvious, firm but not dry; however, there were other parts that were reminiscent of what you might fing in a typical brunswick stew, which let me know immediately what "meat" was. Please don't misunderstand, this is by no means a bad thing. The pleantiful prtion of "meat" was, as one would anticipate, swimming in red sauce. And, what a sauce it is! Be forewarnded that the peppery spice, although seemingly mild at first, does creep up on you over tme; so, you may want to keep a glass of milk close by. Masking the long term effect is succulent, onion accented, flavor, that I found quite unique. Not being sure of the portion, I ordered a meat pie, on the side. There was no need, however, because the main dish was plenty to satsfy my appetite. The meat pie itself, was somewhat a disappointment, tasting very much like one of those palm sized, frozen, pot pies you can find at any supermarket. At just over seventeen bucks, the price seemed fair for the overall quality and portion. read more

They are tricky... gave me the wrong food, maybe because I am an American... And thought I would not know the difference. The Suya was horrible. Just a salty dry old meat... Never again!!! read more

This is the only Nigerian restaurant in CT and as a Nigerian who grew up back home, I'm excited it's here. My friend told me about it so I immediately decided to check it out with three other friends. We placed our order prior to coming in even though we were dining in. I got the amala and vegetable soup and it was really good. I look forward to coming back and trying the items. read more

The service was great, the food was amazing (taste like home), great atmosphere, very patient people (we came a few minutes after closing). Honestly I haven't eaten Nigerian food in about 3 years. This literally almost brought me to tears. Thank you!!! May God richly bless you!! read more

This place could not have opened at the perfect time. Pregnant and the only thing I can keep down is Nigerian food and I Looove their food. Also love that you can call and order pick up very easily and timely. As a Nigerian, the Goat meat pepper soup hits just right especially when you ask for spicy and they make it SPICY!!!! The GizDodo is just as good. They have many options to try and if you haven't been and love goat meat, I highly recommend getting this soup! read more

Naija Restaurant - Goat meat pepper soup and GizDodo - Food Delivery Services Near Me - Newington, Connecticut

Portions are very small for the price. The chicken was pink and undercooked, the beef was undercooked and was not edible. They have two small pieces of meat with about 4 tablespoons of spicy,greasy sauce and fufu. The chicken was two drumsticks and about the same amount of sauce. The one saving grace was their meat pie. read more

Just literally came from this place and upon arrival I was super excited to try Nigerian dood for the first time. When we walked in we were not greeted and sat ourselves. The waitress acted as if she was in a rush and did not want to be bothered when taking our orders. We told her it was our first time trying the food and did she have any suggestions and she was no help. When we got our food it was luke warm to cold. Overall the food had potential and the cook was pleasant but the waitress has a bad attitude and horrible customer service skills. She will cost them business in the near future. read more
