Nigerian Cuisine

It's an unassuming restaurant tucked away in a strip mall, but what an experience! We were welcomed by MJ, the owner. He was warm, full of smiles and happy to explain the menu to folks new to Nigerian food. FYI, items are made to order, so there is a wait. I got the sense that they are short-staffed, and service is a little slower than most are accustomed to.We ordered a solid range of items - pounded yam, vegetable soup, okra soup, jollof rice, and suya. The pounded yam was made from scratch, steamed yams worked with a pestle until it hit peak form - elastic, slightly sweet and the perfect vehicle for both soups. The soups were well-prepared, starting with marinated meat, and working in smoked fish and a host of umami flavors. The suya was served as an appetizer, and I loved it! He actually used thin fillets, carefully roasted over an open flame. Our drink of choice was malt (if you've never had it, 10/10 recommend!) I wish there were a little more suya seasoning pre-and-post roasting, no other notes! The next time you're in Vegas, stop by to try Nigerian food!

Nigerian food is so tasteful and very fresh. There's nothing more authentic than the foods of the motherland

I would actually give it maybe 3.5 stars. I never had Nigerian food before so I finally settled on here to try. My order was to go. I had the white rice with ofada stew, suya (grilled goat meat with traditional spices), and a meat pie. The food was good but the prices were high for the amount of food you get. I understand prices are higher due to the pandemic, so hopefully in 9 months or a year or so things may be near normal again and we'll see. I do want to try other Nigerian dishes, just not sure If it will be here or another place.

I'm going to go against the grain and give this place an amazing review. I was there a few days ago for lunch. Yes its a hole in the wall. I came in at 11am so they just opened. Just one guy inside watching tv and eating. I ordered something that had no name on the menu. Ordered by picture, it was a meat stew with jollof rice for $25 to go. First off, yes expensive, but every African or ethnic restaurant here in vegas is expensive. But the portion size was huge. I was given a black reusable plastic container filled the brim with well spiced Jollof rice and meat. The thing weighed a ton. It did not take that long, maybe 15-20 minutes. Third, the flavor was amazing. I've had jollof before at other places and while good it wasn't amazing to me. This time it was. I couldn't stop eating it. the stew was phenomenal. Lastly, when you order you can hear them microwave things along with banging pots around. Yes surprise surprise, a lot of food is microwaved and heated up. This is common in many restaurants. You're not going to get a stewed meat that quickly. It takes many hours to get those flavors right. This did not bother me in the slightest. The flavor was awesome and with the amount of food I got the value was there.I will be going back soon. Will update the review when that happens.

Well, this place did not rock my socks off at all. I was in Vegas for the weekend and knew that there was decent Nigerian food here. This place was close by, and while the reviews were less than stellar, how hard is it to screw up some rice?Well, when I walked in, I was the only person in there. And the place for a little bit, dark and despondent but heck, it's a hole in the wall. Whatever. I ordered Jolof rice, a Nigerian standard. And while I did not get food poisoning, I certainly don't feel like I got my $27 worth.After waiting for 35 minutes, I was handed to takeout container that contained several scoops of rice, and two lonely, chicken drumsticks. I took it back to my hotel room and got to work. The food was meh-not terrible, but the kind of jollof rice that the Costco food court would serve if such a thing was on their menu. Definitely not worth $27.The woman who served me, who I think was the owner, was nice enough. I mean, if this was the only place in town, I would eat there, but this is Las Vegas, for Pete's sake, and you can do better than this place, if you want African food. Heck, for $27 you can get yourself some really great Chipotle. My recommendation is to avoid this place. There's just a lot better stuff out there, especially at this price.

We just had to hit up the Naija food spot after a great night in sin city.... And It didn't disappoint...food was served with a smile and all the dishes were tasty!! Definitely recommend you all stop by and plan a nap afterwards

Food poisoning!!!!! This place was a night mare. Place looked run down and not very clean. Ordered our food while we waited a random man came in with a bag of meat to deliver very sketchy looking. At that point we had already spent 60 (they only take zelle/cash app, no debit cards or credit cards) wish I would have just left but it was paid for my sister and I ate the same dish Egusi and pounded yam we both were sick just hours later( we live in separate places so it had to be from this location only meal we ate that was the same) my sister bf had a different meal from them. Both my sister and I had similar symptoms: vomiting, diarrhea, nausea abdominal and intestinal cramping, fever and muscle cramps. Avoid this place at all cost not even safe for a dog or your worst enemy

It literally looks like the adults left the children in charge (2 sole young women early 20's running the place) on a Friday evening. They were polite but clueless (waited until after the meal to tell me they don't accept credit card} I was very disappointed. Poor service. Menu prices are not clear, It looks like a child amended it (masking tape??? Really?) Not good food. This is NOT authentic. Nasty facilities. Bootleg curtains made of taped up fabric. They could, at the very least, cleaned the bathroom (biohazard). This place is grimey. I stayed with the hopes of good food. The food was sub-par. I'd rather stay home and eat Ramen noodles. This place is GHETTO!!! Which wouldn't have been a problem for me as long as the food is good. but, alas, It was a problem.

This is place is disgusting! My fufu and egusi soup was just thrown together the fufu had hard pieces and the meet is old. I tried to get a refund he wouldn't give me one. This business needs to be shut the hell down.

If I could give 0 stars, I would do so!!I paid over $135 for 3 plates and some suya. The plates that were given were small meal prep containers that could hold about a scoop of rice and a drizzle of stew. I had my food delivered and I was in complete shock when I saw the size of the plates I was given.Upon opening the food, there was only 1 piece of goat (mostly bone) and under the meat was plantain. I couldn't believe I spent so much money on the food when it was sub par at best.The stew wasn't even done cooking and tasted very acidic. Im surprised I didn't get food poisoning.I would NOT recommend this place at all. I could've gotten myself a wonderful steak dinner at a fancy restaurant with the money I spent.Avoid this place!
