Managed to get there before CV shut down in-restaurant dining. Tried the meat patties, the puff puff and the first rice dish on the menu w chicken; it was all delicious! A joyous ambiance, friendly wait staff, and everyone seemed quite happy with the food and to be there. Looking forward to trying the rest of the menu in good time, unfortunately it'll be take out for awhile! A great addition to the neighborhood. Welcome Obosa!

I was craving some African food like my coworker used to bring into the office. I of course got the Jollof Rice with chicken and plantains. it didn't disappoint. Next time I will have to request for them to make it spicy, I'm sure I would have liked it even more! Service was friendly and the restaurant was very clean.

I fell in love with African food especially the soups while working with some very still apart of the motherland Nigerians and I have loved them so much for bringing there culture into my life. Obosa is my all-time favorite place to get my Egusi Soup when I am craving african soup. Plenty of other choices. Can say a few times I have gone and certain meats was not in stock but it never fails in quality hands down. Just writing this review makes me want to go back right now

went there yesterday to try something or should I say a different restaurant other than Suya Joint and I guess I need to stick with what I know because I ended up throwing the majority of it away too spicy for my taste when I told it wouldn't be and just the flavor wasn't very good like I said buy through the majority of it away, so I just totally wasted my money but everybody's taste buds are different so those people who think it's good maybe you've never tried another place but I won't be returning. Customer service was good. It was nobody in the restaurant at the time but the food I wouldn't recommend it or at least what I got. (The Egusi stew)

I'm a GrubHub driver and stop by frequently for pickup and delivery. Last night, they gave me some of their puff-puffs to try. They said it was like donut holes. They were so good! It was the same texture as Okinawan andagi, but the taste was a little different. If you want an alternative to regular donuts with your coffee, I highly recommend these. The place is spotless and the staff is very friendly.

This restaurant is great. I'm Glade they deliver in area. On the days I crave African food but don't want to travel or don't have the energy I order from them. I especially love their pepper soup.

I absolutely adore this beautiful restaurant in Roslindale! My favorite thing to order is jollof rice with beef and spinach stir fry. Everything always tastes so amazing, and the interior is perfect for dine ins! Definitely the spot to go to if you want real, authentic Nigerian food in Boston

I am convinced this food was leftover and not cooked fresh. They gave me 2 pieces of goat meat, which I paid extra for,how modest! The goat meat was hard and dark brown and lacked flavor. They gave me a crap load of rice, what was I supposed to eat with all that rice, that tiny portion of dry meat? I called to complain and the woman who answered the phone told me she cooked the food fresh herself. LIES. I can tell leftovers from fresh. This was an Uber eats order, so fortunately, I was given my $$ back. The owner didn't offer to replace it, when I called to complain about the food quality. Serving leftovers can cause food poisoning. When I pay for food and extra for meat, I expect fresh, hot delicious food, decent portion of food. Not the opposite. Needless to say, I will never order from here again. Also the reviews is why I took a chance. The rice was also greasy. Yuck! I only ordered from here, because the ratings were very good. This food was below mediocre. I threw the meal away.

Food was great! The food however, took ridiculously long to come out and I'm talking about 45+ mins to come out. Got there at 2:05 and didn't eat until almost 3 so there's that. The service itself was underwhelming. We had to keep calling them to come over because they weren't checking on us at all. Lastly the food itself was delicious !!! So if you're ever willing to try it (which you really should) definitely go just not on an empty stomach. Also, they serve pounded yam with every dish and they give you the option for "water or utensils" the water is for you to use your hands while eating which is their traditional way of eating which I absolutely loved! You definitely feel like you're getting the whole experience. I got the vegetable stew (spinach, peppers, onions) with your choice of meat and It was amazing. So in conclusion: The food was great and so was the presentation. The customer service itself can definitely use some work as well as time it takes for you to get your food. 3/5 stars for me.

Great food ! The interior design is very cool. Glove the puff puffs the most and the sambusa as well.
