Flavors Nigerian Restaurant

Afrobeats has become my favorite genre of music over the past decade, and Nigeria has truly been at the heart of turning it into a global sensation. So, naturally, I had to dive into Nigerian food as well. There's a long-standing debate about who makes the best jollof rice, and if you ask me, Nigeria wins hands down, and Flavors Nigerian in Orlando proves that!Flavors is a family-owned gem, bringing a culture that's been suppressed for so long into the spotlight. Every time I come here, I feel like I'm getting an authentic taste of Nigeria, with the kind of warmth and tradition that makes the experience so special. I've tried so many dishes here, and I've yet to find one I don't like. But if I had to pick a favorite, it would have to be their chicken jollof or beef jollof. The flavors are spot on, and every bite has that signature, savory goodness you crave in Nigerian cuisine.If you're new to this kind of food or just want to try something different, I'd highly recommend giving Flavors a shot. The restaurant itself isn't fancy inside, but that's not what you're there for, the food and the people are what make it great. The staff is friendly and always makes me feel welcome, getting you everything you need for a satisfying meal. The portion sizes are generous as well.Flavors Nigerian is a true treasure, and I hope this review gives them the shine it deserves. Can't wait to go back I want some Jollof right now actually lol

Delicious egusi with fish! The fufu was smooth. Now my cravings will be fulfilled. The staff were polite.

I went to try the fufu and egusi. Honestly no flavor at all, it taste like canned tomato product and flavorless fufu. I never tried fufu and egusi to compare it elsewhere but I felt like it was missing something . Like if it had more seasoning it would be rocking lol. The beef was dry but ultimately I was ok with the experience

We had never had nigerian food and this food was everything that I could have ever hoped for and MORE. The okra stew was a recommendation from the young man working at the front and he was SO right. I am blown away by the food quality and just how different it was than anything I had ever had before. 10/10 I will be returning again soon!!

Not ideal as far as dining in. However the food was great! Fufu (pounded yam) was a little sticky I'm not used to it being as sticky. But all around it was still very tasty! The egusii ordered was beef and just a little dry but again the kids and I enjoyed it.

I ordered Abula which is half jute leaf soup and half bean soup. I personally love jute leaf so I was excited to try how it is made in Nigerian cuisine. The dish came with a side of fufu (pounded yam) and it was very filling. When ordering, you have the option to pick your protein (fish, chicken, goat, or combination). I liked having two different flavor profiles from the bean soup and jute leaf soup. The restaurant is intimate but has plenty of tables. Parking is very easy to find right in front of the restaurant as it's located in a plaza. Ordering at the front counter is simple and the wait for food is not long at all. Popular Nigerian and West African music plays throughout the restaurant. There's also a hand washing station for customers to use before they eat. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and foresee myself coming back for some more Nigerian cuisine.

Sooooooooo I went to the Flavors nigerian restaurant and I am going to give an honest review:Let me first say if there is ANY opportunity for competition to make some serious money, the time would be NOW!!! Currently this place has no competition in Orlando and that shows big big opportunity. Now let's get down to business. 1. I went with a friend. We planned this trip a week ago and the website clearly said they closed at 7:00pm. We ordered $80 worth of food to try this and try that. The man at the register said that they stopped dining in at 6:00pm and I kinda just looked at him cause we just travelled across the way thru classic traffic to make it before they closed. 2. The bathroom - I had to call on the name Jesus!!!! It was incredibly disgusting!!!! What a disappointment. And this is how they care about the customer experience. They don't. 3. We ordered several things and here is my take: Jollof rice - EXCELLENT Beef - was tough. Needed to be marinated and fall apart in your mouth but on the contrary it was hard. Efo RiRo with beef - EXCELLENT Fish stew- I did not even understand how the fish had NO SEASONING. Why?!?!?! Doesn't even seem like someone would send an entire fish from head to tail with do seasoning. And the stew taste like straight fish. Hmmmmmm could have been a paper soup of something with a nice flavor. It was disgusting. Ogbono soup with chicken - it was different with flavor but not horrible. My friend didn't like it at all. 4. As we are at the end of our experience the staff start arguing and making comments because the guy let us eat in the shop. They were speaking English and they were so rude and made us uncomfortable that we just started packing it up to leave. Mind you it was like 6:46 and they closed at 7:00. 5. On the up side I got a hold of a really spicy pepper and one of the ladies offered me a free bottle of water cause I almost died. Anyways. All in all. Disappointment. If you are looking to try African food like pounded yam (fufu) then just don't expect too much from the service side of the house. Idk I can't wait for a really nice flavor filled African restaurant to come to Orlando. I have pictures. And my Rating is 4 out of 15

I eat out all over the country. And when I travel I try to find food some places that I haven't been to or from cultures that I haven't eaten. I've had Nigerian food that was homemade many times since I was a child but never at a restaurant. I must say this is the worst food I've ever had. Na home, at an event, or restaurant. The so-called soup was slimy and had a very strange flavor. The fufu takes like raw dough with even less flavor than flour. I hope they read this and get a new chef. The only reason I didn't give it one star was because I like the afrobeat music that was played.

I usual have the time to take pictures and videos of my food but not this time the food was so delicious and smelled so good I was too anxious to eat . Service was good even tho he barely understood me his son pitched in and helped . First time trying African food and Orlando and I'll definitely be back . EVERYTHINGGGG WAS EVERYTHINGGG. P.S. THAT MEANS EVERYTHING WAS WOULD IT SHOULD BE OR BETTERDefinitely can't wait to Come back tm don't judge me but I forgot the names of the food I ordered but I do remember how it looks !

The foods are tasteless and extremely expensiv.they sell small eba for $17 no meat included in the soup you have to pay for the meat separatel.I sachet of ramie noddles they sold for $2.50 which is ridiculou!l. it's only $0.30 (thirty cents) at walma.All in all experience was ridiculou.Ayamase soup was watery no meat only one pathe tripe!please stay away. We need more African restaurants in Orlando this Flavor African is just doing nons!
