This is my second time ordering from this establishment and the first time I ordered the rice noodles with double lamb and fried plantain, with the cucumber salad and suya rice.

"The food was very tasty and the fish was perfect fried. I enjoyed the jollof rice as well. My only complaint is in the cost for the yam, $10 for 5 strips of yams is ridiculous. Please work on your prices so more people can afford your meals."
"The best Snapper, I had to order it consecutive days. It has a unique African blend of flavors with 2 delicious sauces to add to the taste. My only issue is the small size of the Sanpper for the price. Otherwise, Chef's kiss!"

"The food was SOOOOO good! 😩🔥 I’m so happy there’s finally a Haitian spot in town with food that actually tastes like home. Usually, I feel like I have to go all the way to New York or Miami to get good, authentic Haitian food, but not anymore! 😂🙌🏾 The griot was delicious, the legume was flavorful, and the pikliz had the perfect kick. Everything tasted fresh, seasoned, and like a real home-cooked meal. I’m definitely happy I found this spot and will absolutely be ordering again. 10/10! 🇭🇹🔥🤤"
"Listen,
I don't know who was in the kitchen today - but I can assure you, they came to COOK. That Griot (Fried Pork) was so RIGHT: hard outside with a tender center. I usually dont eat the fat on the griot...I definitely ate the fat today 😅, it was too good to pass up.The black rice, I mean black was so dee the rice looked shiny the green peas was Chef's kiss. Thank you for a wonderful, home-cooked meal 🙏🏿"

"love them they are the best i be there all the time my food never make it home. or it me a corner left.they got the best food and i went to a'lot to taste theres. sorry if you see this i cheated on you. but queens way is the best place to eat at nobody cant top them. plus they play good music if you like to dance."
"This was by far the worst Nigerian food I’ve ever had. The jollof rice, fish, and chicken all tasted old and had a really unpleasant flavor. The fish pie was absolutely gross, and the meat pie was just as bad. I only managed to take a few bites before I had to stop eating because it tasted so bad. I ended up throwing everything in the trash and went to a different Nigerian restaurant just to get something edible. It was a complete waste of money. I definitely won’t be coming back, and I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic, good-quality Nigerian food."

"The Spinach and Egusi is delicious and the portion is more than enough for just me. I chose fufu with mine and I'm glad I did! The Suya Chicken lacked flavor but packed a spicy kick. Only thing, the Wakye is soooo dry and no flavor at alllike its been sitting for days dry. No way this rice was cooked fresh or even cooked today at all."

"The food was really delicious. My husband and I really enjoyed it. The Gizz dodo is a must try. They are really friendly as well.
We will definitely order again. very authentic taste"
"Extremely disappointing, especially for $40! This was my first time ordering from this company, and I honestly cannot believe this is what I received. The description clearly advertised ponmo and smoked cow skin, yet there was absolutely NO ponmo and NO smoked cow skin in my order.
The rice was extremely mushy, and on top of that, I kept getting broken pieces of fish head in the stew. How is this acceptable for a meal that costs $40?
What I received looked nothing like what was advertised. If you are charging customers $40 for ONE meal, then at the very least, give them the ingredients and quality they paid for. I ordered based on the picture and description, and what showed up was completely different.
Mushy rice, no ponmo, no smoked cow skin, and broken pieces of fish head throughout the stew for $40. Absolutely terrible and extremely disappointing for my first order. This was not what was advertised and definitely not what I paid for."
