Chef Ngee Kitchen

I was so excited to see this new jollof rice restaurant pop up within 25 mins of my house. I've been telling my friends in the area about it opening. 2 days ago, I decided to try it for myself. You can tell this was a newly opened restaurant. The inside was clean. But just had a empty feeling despite the tables and chairs to sit in. The counter did have like a buffet setup but nothing in it. I am assuming it was for future use. The lady who helped me was very nice. She showed me the menu and I ended up ordering the stewed beef with jollof rice and plantain fries Togo. I asked the lady if the beef was tender and she said yes. I ended up paying $23 for the meal give or take and added a $3 tip. Keep that total in mind. After waiting for about 20 mins, the lady came out with the food, tied the bag and sent me on the way. As I picked up the bag....I just thought it felt really light for the price I had just paid. I opened it in the car and busted out laughing and called my husband to tell him about the experience. When I got home...I was able to snap a picture. Now let's talk about the taste. The jollof rice was good. The plantain fries...we just plantain fries and not much to write home about. Now the beef....we got 2 pieces of tough and fatty meat. Half of it was inedible. I don't know what part of the cow it came from but my husband was chewing on a piece for 5 mins. Lol I really had high hopes for this place. But for the amount of food, and for the quality...I personally don't see it being worth it.

Friendly staff, clean atmosphere and affordable prices. I ordered the jollof rice with turkey wings, and a side of plantain fries. While waiting, for my order, I listen to relaxing music videos.
