Cafe Abuja

I have finally tried fufu... and it's a delightful experience! I got the assorted meats (tripe, cow hoof, beef) with Egusi Soup and a side of fufu. The meat with sauce was really delightfully salty and complemented the neutral fufu. Much of the meat is collagen so I'm not sure if I would get it again though. The egusi was right in the middle in terms of spice and flavor and also very beginner friendly! This thing can feed like 3 people because fufu is so filling. For the appetizer we also tried a beef pie! Pretty good, nothing super outstanding but I liked it :)Ola our server was happy to tell us all our options and even gave us free Nigerian bread with Nigerian butter on the house! I'm not sure what was different about it but it smelled very sweet and had the similar texture to milk bread. Also being two Asian females apparently attracted some attention because gentlemen from a different table tried to pay for our drinks and they were very curious where we were from. This has no bearing on the establishment I just wanted to mention it cuz it was so startling. No worries though because we gracefully (?) fended off their advancements. Definitely felt welcomed here though haha.

The food was good. Alot of things were not available but what they did have was good. My only draw back was that I got a bottle of water foe $5. Just a regular water bottle for $5 which is a 40pack somewhere lol. But I won't knock the hustle I guess.

I used to live in houston years back though I've now moved to Colorado, but each time I come here on a business trip I look forward to experiencing the real taste of Nigerian flavor and Cafe Abuja gives me just that. One thing I like about this place is that the customer service, the food and the cleanliness is top notch. The place is also very cozy and has a nice ambiance to it. Need i speak of the owner. Oh, he is simply the best. He is so welcoming, customer friendly & makes sure you enjoy your money's worth. The restaurant has a great variety of Nigerian dishes. Their food is so tasty and the meat is cooked just right that I usually make more order of their assorted meats & oxtails. If you are a nigerian and want to eat real Nigerian food like it is cooked back home, this is the place for you. (Ọ na-akwọ aka esi nri biko, nri abụrụnụ sọ ụtọ). You Igbos understand what I mean by this. I can't think of any Nigerian restaurant that is better than here & trust me I've been to many, but none comes close to the excellent standard of Cafe Abuja.

My family and I were awfully disappointed with how this establishment has went down the drain food was poorly cooked, either had too much tumeric and was sprinkled with more tumeric when served. The total price was $80 which is expensive when you could wrestle with one bite of the meat, and choke through each bite of fried rice and dried meat that almost had the same texture as burnt leather. Sad, but the customer service wasn't up to par either. It took me a while to write this review because it was heartbreaking that this is a family -business.

Cafe Abuja was amazing! I went about a week ago after going to a Nigerian church and was in the mood for some good Nigerian food. I saw that they had a lot of good reviews on Google so I figured I'd try them out. And I am so happy I did. I ordered some egusi stew with mixed meats (which does not include pork - Thank God). And I had it with pounded yam. It cost about $19 I think, which when ordering I thought was a bit much, but I was still anxious to try them out. When they brought the food, I then saw why the price was what it was. They brought 3 containers (1 for the egusi, 1 for the meats and 1 for the pounded yam). It was A LOT of food! So $19 actually wasn't bad. And what's more is it ended up being enough food for about 3 meals!!!Anyway, the taste was phenomenal!!! It was sooooo good that I've been bragging about this place ever since! The restaurant itself is very beautifully and tastefully laid out. The service was great! Once you order, you are able to get a text message when your food is ready. Which I really liked because I wanted to check out the other stores next to it while waiting. They are also playing good Afrobeats music inside, so you are nice and relaxed while enjoying your food, or the wait for your food to go. This is my new staple spot for naija food!!! Chefs kiss

I visited this restaurant and was given OLD STALE HARD beef. When I called, after not being able to eat it, the person on the phone told me I would receive a new order on my next visit. A week later I returned for a new order and was charged $44 dollars for what would likely be the same old stale beef! The supervisor proceeded to argue that they do not give out old food, then proceeded to contradict that lie with the truth of WHEN THEY DO THIS AND GET COMPLAINTS they just give more beef as if DOUBLE STALE MEAT is desirable. For 2 pieces of meat they give with a 19 dollar plate of instant rice, I will NOT be returning to this establishment. Rude, unprofessional and poor quality food now! Definitely not how it was when they opened years ago! I will take my business next door to Amala.

Amazing every single time. When in Houston go here!Get the:Fish pattyBeef pattyOgbono One day I will try everything but I just hate that it is so far from everything else I do when visiting Houston.

We are an Indian family and had Egusi with pounded yam at cafe Abuja a few weeks ago and it was the first time we tried Nigerian food. We LOVED the place, the people (customer service) and of course, the food. Made and served with so much love. The ambience of the place is homely yet very modern. Now, whenever we make chicken or beef curry at home, we make sure to take carry out of pounded yam. We have incorporated pounded yam into our Indian cuisine that we typically eat at home and Man it's delicious. Thank you cafe Abuja for all your delicious food served with so much love. We will be back soon to try other dishes.

I really enjoyed my experience of getting delicious Nigerian food to go at Abuja Cafe! I came here on the good word of a friend and was not disappointed at all!I'd like to mention that it is bright and so clean on the inside! Very inviting! The young lady and the gentleman 1/25/22 were very pleasant and patient!I ordered my favorite jollof rice with plantains. It came with two pieces of meat so I got dry fried chicken, which means without red stew. I don't care for stew on my meat. It comes with a container of smoky and spicy greens- the most delicious that I've had in Houston. I also ordered a side order of plantains which came with a whole lot and was too much for me but that's definitely not a complaint! I share!I will say that the jollof was delicious! It just needed to be a little hotter in spice and I'm used to Nigerian fried chicken being much drier, and well, a little more tough. I know it doesn't make sense to the usual fried chicken connoisseur but I'm used to a delicious fight with my Nigerian fried chicken. Oh well, it was very tasty though!They have meat pies and scotch eggs. Neither of which I like but they are well liked among others and I would encourage other diners to enjoy.They have water, juices, soft drinks, and beer galore. I was impressed with their assortment of beverages. I shall return to this lovely restaurant!

My father is Nigerian and my mother is from Louisiana. So I get the best of both worlds with the culture and food in my opinion. I absolutely love Nigerian food. My boyfriend has never eaten it, and I wanted him to try some good Nigerian food. After getting in touch with my sister and checking yelp reviews, we decided on this place. Upon entry, we were greeted by two nice young ladies behind the counter. The restaurant is cute, cozy, and clean. The clean was a plus. Clean in the parking lot and most definitely inside. I enjoyed my food. My boyfriend enjoyed his as well, but the meat was a little tough for his liking. Other than that, we enjoyed everything, and there was so much food. He said he will be back to try the other dishes, so it looks like I have swayed that Louisiana man into eating Nigerian food. We have added this place to our bookmark.
