    Food truck now has a physical location with ample space for dining but due to COVID-19 they are doing only take out. They have been in business for the past few years on Ghanaian Way and now this new location. For speedy service call at least 30 minutes in advance to ensure that your order is prepared since it's by order. Food: I ordered tsofi and yam, waakye and jollof. Their portions are pretty big and pricing is reasonable. The food was delicious. They separate the sauce from the rice which I like very much! The service was okay. They seemed overwhelmed with orders and therefore orderd were taking longer than it should. The location has ample parking which is good for that area. I would recommend this place to anyone. Their menu is pretty extensive including ginger and hibiscus tea.

This tiny unassuming African spot on the Main Street in Springfield is one such establishment. If you asked me where the very best grilled chicken I could have is I would point you here and tell you to ignore the fact that it was African, if you asked me for the very best African food I would say there are many great places and this is one of the absolute best! Karen, the owner and chef and Emanuel her brother are kind and well versed in hospitality, a fact that her formal and informal training will prove if you are fortunate enough to meet them. The spices, the smells and the flavors are what Africa is known for and the first thing they will tell you is that everything is cooked to order so don't expect it to just be ready but I promise you it's worth twice the amount of time (it wasn't too long by the way) and you truly feel as though you have been invited into their home. With no hyperbole this is not just some of the very best African food I've had it's some of the very best food I've ever had and I cannot wait to return.

    There is a long wait. They do cook everything fresh, but they ran outta the red snapper…read more Too much garlic on the food. Ordered branzino. It was fresh. But all I could taste was garlic. They use a lot of garlic on everything. It was a one and done. If you enjoy garlic, then it's for you. Restaraunt itself smells bad. It's not the most hygienic place. It's very a mom and pop, hole in the wall kinda place. I wouldn't dine in because of the smell.

I was told you know it's a legit place since inside, there's hanging one of the most common Ghanaian house decorations, the wall mat with the famous woman smiling from ear to ear, holding a vessel and a large bowl. This place is definitely a hole in the wall, resembling more of a closet on the side of a building than an actual eatery. It's cash only, be prepared, and also you might have to ring the doorbell since the guy isn't always there attentive waiting at the door. Prices were fair for what they were offering. We got the Banku with okra soup and Waakye with goat meat. Both were legit, according to my friend, and reminded him of home so much that he closed his eyes. He said we definitely need to go back.

    How would I rate my experience? Unique. 9ja is a Nigerian place but they are fine with English so…read moreyou can visit and ask as many questions as you like. Do ask. Please ask... First impressions: Small urban place. Free Wi-Fi a plus. Smoke alarm battery going off a minus. Family setting a plus (toddlers roaming the dining room and kitchen). You can get your order in or to go. I got mine in and watched as they hand-washed and cleaned bowls and utensils. Some of those became mine. I got a mix of efo elugusi and efo biro, which were two of the three starters they had today. I watched as they assembled the bowl and... put it in the microwave. No no no. Sigh. As the dish neared completion I perused the fridge, grabbed a bottle of Nigerian imported palm wine, and dug in. What looks like bread is probably the pounded yam. You tear off a bit and dip in the spicy yummy starter. I found there was a perfect proportion - my last bite of each came together. Well executed. Less well executed is the Assorted Meat. That is Nigerian for "large pieces of inedible cow parts, not actual cuts of meat". (I heard people saying no meat with their order, now I know why.) I ate the tripe (not cooked tender, but passable and unique), passed on the cow skin and couldn't eat the tendon if I tried. But otherwise, nice and flavorful and spicy. Do note that it's spicy here. All done, I washed my hands in the washing bowl (what's a "sink"?) and paid. Verdict: Probably really really authentic. Not the ingredients I expected but I love authenticity, so I'll give it 4 Yelp stars instead of random Unique Stars. Next time I'll work on the fish entrees instead of "assorted meat".

    I had the egusi with pounded yam. It was delicious. I got beef as my protein and it was rough but I…read moreexpected it to be. They're a little pricier than my normal go to place but the food might be better. I tried the vegetable stew and I think I will get that next time. So flavorful. The ambiance was very casual, looks more like a to go place. The service was pretty good no complaints.

We shared one meat pie as we waited for our entrees. I got the jollof rice, plaintain with goat. My buddy ordered the spinach stew think with plaintain and white rice. The other buddy got the turkey wings but sweet potatoes instead of rice. The portion is large. All our entrees were under $13 and each entrees comes with a bottle water. They go give you a bowl of water to wash your hand if you eat with your hands. There's hand soap on every table. The flavor was really good. There was a fish sauce that went well with the food. My goat was really chewy and hard. It needed to be braised longer. I tried the spinach dish and it was really good. They used a lot of spinach. So if you think you're gonna be sick. Get that to Popeye it up. Cc accepted. I will come back to try a soup. The nice lady running the place told me the soups are very large portions. I will call in my order if I'm in a rush. They make the food to order. We were there longer than I liked.
