I was served stale food one evening and as well as a padded bill, that was later corrected. The chicken was old and really offset my system. . . U feel at home but the food wasn't so great so I stopped turning up. But the place is OK. They do Clubbing and all at weekends. And there's a snooker board there.
I had Pounded Yam & Efo Riro with Assoted Meat (I also had Jollof rice to takeaway). This was my first time trying it & honestly I was impressed. The portions are big & I couldn’t finish but it was worth it. The customer service was good too.
However, the door doesn’t close properly so I do recommend wearing something warm. Also, the menu’s and their own computer system have different prices so definitely check up on that one as my friend was overcharged a few pounds (was fixed in the end though). Will definitely be coming back :)
Update:
(2nd picture) I went back a few times after this visit. Since then, they’ve had a change in cooks which shows 100% in the meal portions , taste + customer service. I ordered jollof rice + goat meat and was given two piece of meat… which is a huge difference to what was given to us during the first visit. I’ve always ordered extra stew on the side, because I’ve noticed the meal didn’t come with alot of stew anyway. I was charged £4 the last time I went, which I was confused as prior to this I’ve never been charged. The chef was very ignorant and rude about this and basically dismissed me out the shop for speaking up and saying something. I haven’t been back there since but I’ve seen that this post had been viewed by thousands of people and I thought you all deserved an update.
I had amala, gbegiri, Ewedu and palm wine while my friend had eba and egusi soup and it was soooooooooooo good.
The portions were very generous. Spot the second half of my amala that i.just couldn't finish. The goat meat was soft and succulent and I generally just had a blast with this one. The waiting time however was a bit too long so thst is something they can definitely work on. I would definitely be recommending this place and coming back again.
