    Sugar cane juice
    Nikita H.

    *The owner of the restaurant is amazing. She was so accommodating and the food was delicious and spicy), but they give the option of little to no spice. *I tried moimoi as suggested and it was delicious. It tasted like a mixture of a crab cake *i ordered the jollof rice and 2 beef and fish dish. I didn't like the fish as much but the beef and jollof rice were amazing. *tried sugar cane juice for the first time. It wasn't my jam. Tasted too much like plants. I have no better way to describe that lol. It's similar in flavor to coconut water.

    I had some Nigerian food for the first time from here! This review is based on my first experience. They are located off of W. Columbus Dr. and Armenia Ave. southeast corner. Parking is a bit limited as it is one space deep against the building, but not too bad if you're careful. The restaurant space is modest, humble, and comfortable with African music in the background via wall mounted flat screen TVs. There is a sink available in one of the seating rooms for customers to wash their hands. I had the okro with shrimp and fish (with fufu) and purchased egusi with two beef and one fish (with fufu) for later. Everything was delicious! The beef, however, was a little tougher than what I'm used to, but the flavor was still good. The fish was perfect. This is traditionally eaten with hands, so I did.

    I have driven by this place and it used to be a chicken place but was never open. As I was driveing on Columbus street looking for someplace unique, I think I found it. It is an Afro- Latin American cuisine. The parking is a little weird as it is used by multiple businesses and you cannot tell if you are going to get towed. They folks are very inviting but although the place looks like it was put together on a limited budget, the folks are very friendly. This is really A Nigerian family that has a lot of traditional foods. They use Cuban bread but they have a stiffer mashed potato that you use to sop up the soup. I ordered the Pepper soup with goat meat. She warned me that it would be spicy and it definitely had a kick but nothing I couldn't handle. The goat meat had bones and some fat, but that is expected. The plaintains were probably the best I have had... They have sugar cane drink with line made from freshly squeezed sugar cane. Didn't realize a medium was $5 The water is bottled water. When I got the bill I seem to have ordered a bunch of items and it was $23 before tip, just for myself. I think I may try to come back again for a different meal and be more concensious of what I order.

    The food served here brings back the taste of Nigeria. I felt like I was home in my grandmother's kitchen. The food was amazing and the staff was very accommodating! 10/10 would recommend

    The Jollof rice was highly delectable and the beef, and fish, were cooked very well. Overall, the meal was delicious!

After that I believe it turns into a dinner club with dancing and shows. My friend and I ordered the paella and shared it. It was delicious and just enough for two people. It was very expensive in my opinion but very good. Only my mom's is better in my opinion but this is close. The menu is very pricey and after 6 pm there's a $50 per person minimum. One drink and an appetizer will get you there. The service is really good and all of the women working there were gorgeous. There's plenty of parking, very clean inside but it was very cold inside so dress warm and don't forget your wallet.

I've also tried several of their appetizers, and my personal favorite is the black bean cakes. They are SO good and something I would definitely order again.

I often go to the Tampa History Center location, but wanted to give the original a try. Our server, Chris S., was amazing and attentive by checking in frequently and making sure our drinks were always full. I ordered a pitcher of the red sangria and the 1905 salad, both prepared table side. This place is a classic for a reason and I will continue to return for the upscale yet casual environment and fresh offerings. Nice bonus - in September, 5% of all food sales go directly to a local charity of your choosing for their initiative called "Second Harvest". What a great way to give back to the community!
