I actually never ate here; they didn't open at the posted hours…read more I waited for 30 minutes for the place to open on a Sunday afternoon and no one was there. The hours posted stated they opened at 2:00 p.m., but I gave up after half an hour in the hot sun. There wasn't even anyone inside. I understand that things happen, but found this unacceptable and unprofessional.

It really felt like we were in someone's home / good home cooking, although I do have to acknowledge I have limited experience with Nigerian cuisine. My friend got the jollof rice with goat and liked that and I ordered the egusi with fufu and tried an appetizer of cow's foot. The cow's foot was so spicy lol but the texture was really good. I loooved the egusi and fufu and would come back just to have this. Happy with this place and recommend it highly - would definitely come back.

They're always super friendly and attentive. They even offered to help me carry everything out to my car which I really appreciated. And the cutest part the owner's dad went and grabbed me two falafels for the road like that was so sweet. I love supporting family-owned businesses, especially when they're this consistent. The food is always fresh, and even a day or two later it still tastes really good which is a big deal for catering. This is definitely my go-to now for events. I'll 100% keep using them and recommending to my friends.

There were other Nigerian restaurants, but they either were closed or too far from where we were and I saw a couple close to cute picture in front of this restaurant sign conveniently located very close to where I was at the time. The owner or manager I believe was very nice. I called ahead of time and she asked me what we wanted so she could have it ready when we got there, but I really didn't know we ordered Jolloff rice, Obongo? soup and I ordered another dish to go. It was very very very good. We also ordered foo foo (FuFu?) as well and everything was hot and fresh. It's a small restaurant that seats maybe 10 to 15 people. I think it's sole purpose is for a carry out options only but we did dine in and she was very nice. There were Nigerian beverages as well for purchase. Street parking is very limited.

Once upon a time, during the pandemic in August 2020, my best friend and I ordered here. We really liked the food.

We recently visited this Nigerian restaurant and had a mixed experience overall. The restaurant…read moreitself is very simple, a little dated, and definitely not luxurious or modern. The service was also not what we expected -- it was slow, not very attentive, and the food took quite a long time to come out of the kitchen. That being said, the food itself did not disappoint at all. Everything we ordered was flavorful, authentic, and perfectly spicy. The Egusi soup with goat meat and pounded yam (fufu) was rich, hearty, and very satisfying. The assorted meat pepper pot was absolutely excellent, especially paired with fufu. We also had the Jollof rice with fish and chicken, and both dishes were delicious with great seasoning and taste. While the atmosphere and service could definitely improve, the quality of the food made up for many of the shortcomings. If you are looking for authentic Nigerian food with bold flavors and don't mind a more casual setting and slower service, this place is worth trying.

It was awhile before someone came to tend to us but as my husband was explaining to me, in the African culture, you go to them to tell them what you want, not the other way around. They were in the back busy cooking and preparing, there is a open window where you can order. We got to meet the owner who the restaurant is named after, Anayo. He was awesome! I wanted to order the fried rice or the coconut rice but those are large orders for several people which are only for call in but they don't indicate that on the menu. I got to order the last meat pie they had and OMG, I'm still dreaming about how good it was! I ordered the jollof rice and told them mild spice but it was still a bit too hot for me but in Nigeria, that is how they spice their food, LOL. It comes with goat meat and fish. I loved the fish as it was flavorful, crispy and delicious! I will make sure to order that fish again. Hubby got the Nkwobi made with cow feet, scotch bonnet pepper, onion, palm oil Spinach and seasonings. It was so hot but he enjoyed every bit of it. Anayo told us that they have only been open for 1 year. I hope they continue and thrive. I got to taste a strawberry yogurt drink that they had in the frig that was in a 1 liter container. I really enjoyed that also. You get the bill after you pay - they told us our total for us to pay. Not used to that but they aren't the first business that I've experience to do that. Area was very quiet that evening. Thank you Nayo's - see you soon!
