I took my first trip to Lexington market recently and wanted a hearty lunch. Amala stood out because of the great reviews. I asked for meat recommendations while ordering and opted for the goat meat with 2 sides. I got jollof and plantain. The food was hot and the goat was not fatty. It was spicy. I love the meat and plantains but the rice was underwhelming. Otherwise, it's good portions aligned with the price point.

I was super excited when I saw Amala at Lexington Market! I am all about ethnic food and I LOVE jollof rice!But looking at the menu, I was kinda confused. It just had a lot of items listed, but no prices and no...idk, direction? Like, how do I order, what do I do?When I approached the eatery a bored looking girl behind the counter looked at me expectantly. So I asked her what I should do, what are the deals, what's the offer? It's basically a protein and 2 sides. Jollof rice is considered a side, so I got that plus spinach, and "cow" as my protein. The girl said it would take a few minutes to prepare, which made no sense as all the food was laid out buffet style. When my friend went to grab our orders a few mins later, the food was lukewarm - sooooo, what happened in that few minutes we had to give??? Plus once the food was at the table, we found no utensils or napkins.The good news is the lukewarm food was well prepared. I'd have preferred it to be spicier and perhaps a little saltier, but overall it was good. I had about 1/3 that I didn't eat and took home to warm up later.Later, I warmed the food and dug in - that food didn't reheat well AT ALL, and I ended up tossing it. Womp womp.

Had fufu for the very first time! And I am in love! We ordered fufu with chicken gravy and spinach. The dishes were beyond expectation. I wish I had ordered a to go box too, for later! Please do try this place if you visit this marketplace.
