Kuramo Restaurant

The egusi with fish and pounded yams were absolutely delicious. The ladies that greeted me were pleasant. My meal was only$10. I will definitely be back to try more

This was my first time trying Nigerian food and I had a great experience. I ordered the egusi and fufu combo with chicken, dodo (plantains), and jollof rice to pickup. I really enjoyed everything I ordered. The egusi was really spicy and delicious. There was a healthy portion of fufu that worked well as a vehicle for the egusi. The side portion of jollof is also massive. The order was hot & ready for pickup in 20 minutes. Only complaint is that the chicken was a bit dry for my taste. I look forward to trying a different meat as well as other items on the menu next time I order.

STAY AWAY, STAY AWAY!! Because I saw the previous reviews, I did My due diligence to calculate the price before I was given my receipt. Needless to say, YES I was overcharged. After I lengthy discussion with the male worker (who's not in charge, and the person in charge has vanished) I was told that goat meat is extra money. Even though the menu doesn't state that, it says $12.95 for my choice of meat PERIOD. He says when the ring it in the system a la carte, it comes up that way. So I explained they have less than stellar Yelp reviews for this reason and should fix the problem. He says he's not I. Charge and can't do anything about it. I walked away leaving the food. He followed me outside to give it to me for the price it should have been but complained that I was blaming him for a system error. I still didn't want the food and kept walking. DAMN and I really wanted some African food today!! Such is never. Needless to say I will NEVER come here again!

The ONLY reason this place is getting 3 stars is because the food was BOMB-TASTIC. But 1st faux-pas was when i first arrived, there was nobody to greet me, sat at the bar for almost 10 minutes before i had to flag somebody from the kitchen. Second straw was that it took over an hour for my food to be ready (I placed order at 7pm, they told me it would be 35 mins, Called them at 7:50 to ensure it would be ready by the time i get there - nope, still have 15 mins. Went up there at 8:05 ((mind u they close at 8)), and STILL had to wait like 15 mins. I think they burned the first fish and didnt want to tell me). No apology for the wait.But all that aside Jollof Rice - flavorful, spicy. Kuramo Tilapia was definitely the star. It WAS worth the hour wait. It was tender, moist fish and the spices were out of this world good. Pretty spicy too, but once u get past that, the flavors are addicting. My bf, who is a bit "conservative" in food choices, couldnt stop eating the fish either!! The dodo (plantains) were so-so, nothing special but thats not to say i wouldnt eat em again. I PRAY this place gets their act together because this is the only West african food spot in columbia. Would hate to see em go...cuz i'll be dreamin about that fish.

Upon reading the reviews here, I saw how they're mixed up so I wanted to try this place out to see how it is.I walked in on a Saturday afternoon and found that the place is very spacious. Wooden booths and wooden tables with wooden chairs. Everything here is wooden.Not necessarily a bad thing.As I walked in, I was greeted by a woman. When I tried to ask her some questions, she didn't understand what I was trying to ask. So I just said "menu please" and she gave me a menu. The menu is small which I thought was great. I asked her if she had any recommendations. She pointed at the Jollof Rice dish and asked me what kind of meat do I like. I said the Goat and Tripe then told her either one is fine. She nodded her head and started to walk back to the kitchen but I stopped her and asked for another dish. She then pointed at the Okra dish. The Jollof rice dish comes with rice, plantains and a choice of meat and the Okra dish comes with Fufu (Solidified Mashed Potatoes used like bread.) and a choice of meat.Cool so I waited while watching the news on the tube. I checked in the restaurant first time and because of that, Yelp said I could get a 10% off of my first order there, yay! So I waited till she gave me my food and told her about the Yelp coupon. She smiled, shook her head and told me "no". I then asked her one more time because I'm sure Restaurants have to contact the company and advertise. I'm sure the company doesn't do the advertising for the restaurants... She again said "No, we don't do".I understand if the place is trying to get that money especially when it was empty when I came in but I found that to be a bit odd at the least. Then she gave me the receipt and come to find out, she charged me more than what the menu said.The menu said 13 bucks for each dish (The 2 dishes I got.) so including tax, it would have been around 27 bucks and some change. Instead the total was 33 bucks.Like I said above, I understand if they're trying to get money or survive but charging me hidden prices is terrible. If she had told me beforehand, I wouldn't have mind giving them extra money. It's not the amount of money that they took from me, it's the principle of their menu saying 1 price then charging me extra as if I wasn't going to find out.Anyways I paid it then left and when I got home I tasted the Jollof Rice dish. The rice had a distinct flavor to it which I liked and it came with Goat. The Goat was tasty and tender and the plantains were just plantains. I then had the Okra dish and the goat in that was very delicious. However, there were only 5 pieces in the dish. I then took some Fufu and laid it on my plate and got some Okra sauce and laid it on top of the Fufu. I took a bite and WOW it was terrible.You know how when you get too drunk and throw up, there's that after taste and burning sensation in your throat? It was EXACTLY like that. But oddly enough, the goat was good.The food was good aside from the Okra sauce and the service was horrendous. It wasn't about how long the food took, it was about the woman there lying to me about Yelp and charging me extra for the 2 dishes.According to the receipt, 5 pieces of goat equals 15 bucks. It doesn't say "Jollof Rice Dish" or anything of the sort. It's like she charged me A La Carte.I'm gonna stop by Nando's PERI PERI soon and hope they can better serve me without any hidden secrets.

NOW I UNDERSTAND y the chick below was singing AT LAAAAAAAAST!!!I was getting under the weather n needed spicy food and I always go african to find that... had been elsewhere days prior and food was totally bland but these folks had that standard nigerian party rice taste oh my geez i was floating and gloating. wanted to buy a carry out but cuz its so heavy and I struggled w/my seat buckle on my last flight................ yeah. SO. i had the jollof n plantain n beef and asked for extra side stew cause I can never eat rice dry regardless how tender it is. The plantain were PERFECTION... the meat uber pliable and I can taste it all coming back now. came back later for egusi n eba which is another plate I get when im getting ill for the greens n the fiber and the PEPPER. Think theyre probably one of the best authentic fares in the whole area cause I searched hi/low. Thank God I found em!As far as the wait time it really was average but when you come to these unique kind of places best bet is call ahead or ask upfront whats READY or what food they made for the day cause they never make everrrrything on the menu

Customer service, presentation, and esthetics could be better. It would help to greet customers when they come through door, be pleasant, etc. I heard online that the food is really good, but I didn't get to ordering food because the service was not to my liking.

I'm spoiled by another restaurant. Although this place is much closer, the service here is rather slow and they are never busy, but the food is decent. I come for the food, I deal with the wait and I carry out.

This is truly an authentic Nigerian dining experience... for better or worst. First and foremost, the food is delicious! I ordered the Egusi with goat meat and pounded yam as well as the moin moin. Everything came in fairly big portions and was well seasoned.... very tasty. With that said, the service is SLOW and certain food items may not be available... Like I said, an authentic Nigerian dining experience. So come with your patience and all will be good.

The food i ordered was really good/spicy, the food was a lot and prices are reasonable. I think this place just opened hopefully next time I come back the place will look decent and the wait will be less than 30mins and I can sit down and dine in. I know alot african cuisines are spicy but this is a restaurant I'll suggest to have option of mild or spicy not everyone eat hot(pepper). Overall I like it.
