My friend and I stopped as we never tried Nigerian food before. Originally, I wanted to try Ugusi soup with Fufu. I looked over the menu and decided I wanted to play it safe... basically I chickened out on my original choice lol. I went with the whole catfish that comes with a stew and I also got Jollof rice. The owner of the restaurant provided exceptional customer service and we had small talk with him. I always prefer supporting small businesses and this is a prime example of why. The food comes at and the catfish with the stew was out of this world so flavorful and cooked to perfection. The Jollof rice was as equally delicious. Next time I am in Vegas I am going to have to go ahead and order the Ugusi soup and Fufu. There is plenty of seating however it is a little stuffy inside, but the owner busted out an industrial size fan which cooled us down in no time. read more

Egusi& Fufu is still the best.! Portions are small for $25. Presentation could be better ! I call in my order and pick it up in 10-15 minutes read more

Was this a restaurant or someone's living room? Normally, I wouldn't complain about that -- in fact, I usually see that as a positive. But in this case, far from it. Honestly, we weren't even sure we were in the right place when we walked in. The food itself was just okay. I didn't expect amazing, just something edible -- and it met the bare minimum. A lot of the things we wanted to try weren't available, which was disappointing. What we did get was fine, and since it was our first time trying these dishes, we didn't have much to compare it to. The bigger issue? By the time we finished eating, we were still hungry. And the bill definitely didn't match the amount of food we actually got. Service was okay, but again, hard to tell if the staff worked there or lived there. Overall, we wouldn't go back. read more

This place is overall priced and disgusting inside! Pube like hair was all in my soup. This is just NOT ok. The fufu was fine but I just can't with this soup. That is NOTTT goat hair. I know the difference I eat goat pepper soup alllll the time.. Three bites in and noticed and i was ready to puke cause I don't know if I ingested any I drove 37 minutes to try this place. I called the restaurant to let them know what happened HE LAUGHED ABOUT IT! Tried to gaslight me into thinking it was goat hair. THAT WAS HUMAN HAIR ALL IN MY FOOD! I asked them to remake it and send it, said they would and NEVER DID. Said they would deliver a new one next day never did. I asked for a refund no response. I disputed my payment through my bank cause idk what they thought this was. The health department needs to close this business all the way down!!! I've already reported them. read more

It's an unassuming restaurant tucked away in a strip mall, but what an experience! We were welcomed by MJ, the owner. He was warm, full of smiles and happy to explain the menu to folks new to Nigerian food. FYI, items are made to order, so there is a wait. I got the sense that they are short-staffed, and service is a little slower than most are accustomed to. We ordered a solid range of items - pounded yam, vegetable soup, okra soup, jollof rice, and suya. The pounded yam was made from scratch, steamed yams worked with a pestle until it hit peak form - elastic, slightly sweet and the perfect vehicle for both soups. The soups were well-prepared, starting with marinated meat, and working in smoked fish and a host of umami flavors. The suya was served as an appetizer, and I loved it! He actually used thin fillets, carefully roasted over an open flame. Our drink of choice was malt (if you've never had it, 10/10 recommend!) I wish there were a little more suya seasoning pre-and-post roasting, no other notes! The next time you're in Vegas, stop by to try Nigerian food! read more

I would actually give it maybe 3.5 stars. I never had Nigerian food before so I finally settled on here to try. My order was to go. I had the white rice with ofada stew, suya (grilled goat meat with traditional spices), and a meat pie. The food was good but the prices were high for the amount of food you get. I understand prices are higher due to the pandemic, so hopefully in 9 months or a year or so things may be near normal again and we'll see. I do want to try other Nigerian dishes, just not sure If it will be here or another place. read more

I'm going to go against the grain and give this place an amazing review. I was there a few days ago for lunch. Yes its a hole in the wall. I came in at 11am so they just opened. Just one guy inside watching tv and eating. I ordered something that had no name on the menu. Ordered by picture, it was a meat stew with jollof rice for $25 to go. First off, yes expensive, but every African or ethnic restaurant here in vegas is expensive. But the portion size was huge. I was given a black reusable plastic container filled the brim with well spiced Jollof rice and meat. The thing weighed a ton. It did not take that long, maybe 15-20 minutes. Third, the flavor was amazing. I've had jollof before at other places and while good it wasn't amazing to me. This time it was. I couldn't stop eating it. the stew was phenomenal. Lastly, when you order you can hear them microwave things along with banging pots around. Yes surprise surprise, a lot of food is microwaved and heated up. This is common in many restaurants. You're not going to get a stewed meat that quickly. It takes many hours to get those flavors right. This did not bother me in the slightest. The flavor was awesome and with the amount of food I got the value was there. I will be going back soon. Will update the review when that happens. read more

Nigerian food is so tasteful and very fresh. There's nothing more authentic than the foods of the motherland

This is place is disgusting! My fufu and egusi soup was just thrown together the fufu had hard pieces and the meet is old. I tried to get a refund he wouldn't give me one. This business needs to be shut the hell down. read more

Well, this place did not rock my socks off at all. I was in Vegas for the weekend and knew that there was decent Nigerian food here. This place was close by, and while the reviews were less than stellar, how hard is it to screw up some rice? Well, when I walked in, I was the only person in there. And the place for a little bit, dark and despondent but heck, it's a hole in the wall. Whatever. I ordered Jolof rice, a Nigerian standard. And while I did not get food poisoning, I certainly don't feel like I got my $27 worth. After waiting for 35 minutes, I was handed to takeout container that contained several scoops of rice, and two lonely, chicken drumsticks. I took it back to my hotel room and got to work. The food was meh-not terrible, but the kind of jollof rice that the Costco food court would serve if such a thing was on their menu. Definitely not worth $27. The woman who served me, who I think was the owner, was nice enough. I mean, if this was the only place in town, I would eat there, but this is Las Vegas, for Pete's sake, and you can do better than this place, if you want African food. Heck, for $27 you can get yourself some really great Chipotle. My recommendation is to avoid this place. There's just a lot better stuff out there, especially at this price. read more

I am entirely convinced that all these people praising this place have to be Caucasian. First off, being a Liberian in Vegas with no kind of representation, I thought hey, let me support my fellow Africans. WROOONNGGGGG!!!!! This is the worse place I have ever eaten. The service was bad, on top of them not accepting debit cards (cash, Venmo, cash app, Zelle) how professional. I was told my food would be ready in 30 minutes (I came in 40, still having to wait). The female worker was on the phone the entire time, hardly acknowledging me. Mind you, she hands me my food and walks off. Had I been someone with no morals I could have walked off without paying especially with the worker being more focused on the phone. I ordered egusi, never again, it was unseasoned, lacking spice and flavor. The suya was dry and I could hardly chew it, ended up cooking it in pepper soup the next day. All in all, if you want good Nigerian food, this is not it. read more

horrible place. my friend and i went here because we wanted to try fufu for the first time. first of all, extremely sketchy. we called ahead and ordered then arrived 20 minutes later. the front door was locked when we got there and we had to call the owner and wait for them to come open the door. this man comes and lets us in and once we are inside, he literally locked the door. when we sat down he was next to the door and he literally placed or moved a hammer on the side table next to the door. what the hell. we were TWO young girls alone with this one big man. we felt extremely unsafe and told him we had to make a call outside after a couple of minutes. he let us out and we waited outside. we took the food to go and it was not good. there was some unknown meat in the egussi soup which we did not even order and it had a weird after taste. inside looked dark and scary. thought we were gonna die geez. read more

If I could give 0 stars, I would do so!! I paid over $135 for 3 plates and some suya. The plates that were given were small meal prep containers that could hold about a scoop of rice and a drizzle of stew. I had my food delivered and I was in complete shock when I saw the size of the plates I was given. Upon opening the food, there was only 1 piece of goat (mostly bone) and under the meat was plantain. I couldn't believe I spent so much money on the food when it was sub par at best. The stew wasn't even done cooking and tasted very acidic. Im surprised I didn't get food poisoning. I would NOT recommend this place at all. I could've gotten myself a wonderful steak dinner at a fancy restaurant with the money I spent. Avoid this place! read more

Food poisoning!!!!! This place was a night mare. Place looked run down and not very clean. Ordered our food while we waited a random man came in with a bag of meat to deliver very sketchy looking. At that point we had already spent 60 (they only take zelle/cash app, no debit cards or credit cards) wish I would have just left but it was paid for my sister and I ate the same dish Egusi and pounded yam we both were sick just hours later( we live in separate places so it had to be from this location only meal we ate that was the same) my sister bf had a different meal from them. Both my sister and I had similar symptoms: vomiting, diarrhea, nausea abdominal and intestinal cramping, fever and muscle cramps. Avoid this place at all cost not even safe for a dog or your worst enemy read more

It literally looks like the adults left the children in charge (2 sole young women early 20's running the place) on a Friday evening. They were polite but clueless (waited until after the meal to tell me they don't accept credit card} I was very disappointed. Poor service. Menu prices are not clear, It looks like a child amended it (masking tape??? Really?) Not good food. This is NOT authentic. Nasty facilities. Bootleg curtains made of taped up fabric. They could, at the very least, cleaned the bathroom (biohazard). This place is grimey. I stayed with the hopes of good food. The food was sub-par. I'd rather stay home and eat Ramen noodles. This place is GHETTO!!! Which wouldn't have been a problem for me as long as the food is good. but, alas, It was a problem. read more

If I could give them zero stars I would. Terrible ordering process. Our to go order was incorrect, which we did not discover until we arrived home. We were charged $56 for the worst Nigerian food we have ever had. We ordered Moi Moi and was given 2 beef patties that were terrible. We ordered vegetable efo egusi and was given egusi with 3 different types of meat. We ordered chicken fried rice and was given a pierce of rubbery fried beef on top of rice. The plantains were HORRIBLE. The lady who provided service was also terrible. They said they would remake our order and have it delivered to us, but no one ever delivered our correct order. Terrible place! read more

While visiting Vegas my husband request we visit an Nigerian restaurant. My husband is from Ghana and this is closest he can get to West African food. We order the Egusi soup with goat meat. There was only 1 piece of goat meat considering the meal was around $30. The restaurant added a big chunk of chicken with skin which was very disappointing. The restaurant only accepts cash or cash app. The Egusi soup was good although lack of goat meat. read more

The food was worth the wait/cook time. Although needs some service/waiter improvement. A true Nigerian Cuisine. And I will always visit here whenever I'm in Vegas which is 2-3x /yr. I applaud the owner/chef. She's amazing!!! read more

I would avoid this place, they have prices on their menu that they don't even go by. We asked for a receipt and server/cook/maybe owner said she can just tell it to us and they don't take any credit or debit cards. It's only cash or zelle. Food is extremely overpriced the portions they give so it seems like we're getting ripped off especially since they can't give a receipt. Makes it seem like they're charging us something else. The place doesn't have an AC and it's really dark in there. It also took over an hour for our food when we were the only customers. read more

The one star is for the fufu and okra that came out early the fried rice was not good they gave us free fish and goat meat which was not ordered We wanted beef soure and hot soure, precious was our service girl she was patient and really nice The food sucks read more

For all of you complaining.... #1. I went to Nigeria twice. At the Hilton *BLU* in Lagos I waited 4 hours on Valentines day for my meal and it cost me $75.00 for 4 people **in Nigeria**. So people saying it took too long to get the food at this place, they had to wait an hour or whatever...wtf...? Try going to Nigeria then you will know what waiting a long time for food is!!!!! #2. Nigerian food costs some money. That is it. Not just here but in Nigeria too. In Lagos plantain is like #5000 off the street and #17300= $50 USD. **It is what is it is, this aint no fast food Mcdonalds or Popeyes. This is like Black Eye Peas Steak, know what I am saying?? #3. This place is not dirty I have been there and it is fine. #4. This place should yave more combo meal options. Other than that, if u have a grievance give them a chance to fix it. read more

I was excited to finally find a place that served Nigerian food until I walked in. The decor was lackluster and the menu dirty. I was barely greeted. As I didn't get alone.. my partner and I ordered, well attempted to. I wanted a dish that contained fish and my partner, beef. I was informed they had no fish and I should just wait get food else where. Seeing as my partner was excited about finding authentic African food in Vegas, I had already decided I could eat elsewhere but, the nerve of our server suggesting that I wait was mind blowing. After waiting, the food was mediocre at best and made my partner sick. We will never be back. read more

If I can give it zero stars, I would. I never write reviews, but this by far was the worst food I have ever had from a restaurant. I just have to inform others before they too waste money. I originally wanted to go to a different Nigerian restaurant that was nearby, but they were closed on Sunday's. I was very hesitant from ordering from this restaurant as the reviews were not the best. Nonetheless, I still ordered as I really wanted to try Nigerian food. I ordered chicken okra soup and chicken egusi soup with pounded yam. Upon arrival to the restaurant, the owner greeted me and confirmed my order that I placed via phone. After a few minutes, I hear the microwave. I should've know right then to leave. I read other reviews about microwaving and the horrible food from this establishment, but I thought I give them a fair shot. I regret it. $50 later... my food was literally inedible. I would not feed it to a dog. The chicken is beyond tough. You can use the two pieces as hockey pucks. It's obvious the food is very old and reheated multiple times. Waste of time, money, and excitement of trying Nigerian food. read more

Hole in the wall!!! Don't get my wrong most hole in wall places are really good!! But I called in advance to pick up the lady advised 20 minutes I got there and still waited another 20 minutes also the customer service was horrible no one asked if I had ordered or came out to check. Besides that the kitchen was nasty and so many different people kept going back there that didn't work there and got their food before the 4 customers that was waiting!! I almost had free food because the lady didn't request a payment but me being genuine I asked how much!!! Never never again will I go to this place. read more

This was definitely one of the worst experiences I ever had in a restaurant. VERY OVER PRICED, and the owner just came across as greedy. - They don't even have free tap water. They make each customer pay $2 per 16fl bottle. - Portions are EXTREMELY small. - no trash can in the entire place. - The menu also said one thing & the owner charged us for another. When the bill came, she goes "oh we forgot to update the menu, but you still have to pay that". I wish I had not ignored the reviews I read before. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY. read more

I almost chewed off my fingers. The food was so delicious and worth the homemade wait. My belly and heart is full. The cherry on top is the positive energy of ownership whilst the authentic music playing in the background. I will definitely be back! Yep-I came back two days in a row... read more

Very disappointed!! My normal place was closed for mothers day so I thought I'd try them out...got the food to go and didn't check it before leaving. BIG MISTAKE! I feel like she thought I didn't know what to expect so she took advantage of me. Egusi with fufu was $24. She put both in the same to-go Tupperware instead of just the egusi. It wasn't even a half orders worth. I won't be going here again! I'm literally writing this review while thinking about what else I can eat. read more

I had a good experience. Yes, it's in a shady strip mall but once you walk in the staff is very friendly and helpful. If you're wanting to try something different, as I was, give them a try! I had no idea what to order and the server recommended something with the word "Fru Fru" in it - a bowl of chicken meat with a nicely spiced sauce and a slab of yam dough. I've never been to Africa, and this was my first Nigerian food experience; I'd say it was as close to authentic as could be! To the management - be careful about the chicken bones - they're included and I had to pick through & use caution as there were bone splinters. read more

This place changed ownership in June 2013 and thankfully changed cooks. I have been here several times in the past few months and have been forced to taste more exotic cuisines. The food is actually very flavorful. I have had the egusi with pounded yam, plantain plate, jollof rice, and meat stew with goat meat. Each time my hesitation was met with delight and maybe a slight taste of hesitation. The new owners have changed the decor (thankfully) and provide entertainment in the form of a big screen TV. They strive to create a place to commune and enjoy good food and great company. The fifth star is missing due to lack of a liquor license at this time. read more
