"The Fufu With Fresh Fish Egusi Is Delicious! It Was My 1st Time Eating From Here, Hands Down Food, They Were Quick, Easy, I Made A Special Request &' They Did Exactly How I Wanted My Food. The Fish Was VERY Moist, Fresh And Flavorful"
"My Okra tasted soapy. The fufu and egusi was amazing though! I also asked for fried fish but it was fresh fish instead. Portions need to be better for the amount being paid. I spent $70 for little food. Other than that, egusi is the best on the menu. "

"The steak and plantain taste good. The jollof tastes kinda stale today. But usually, the jollof is good. The restaurant is good. Some items can be hit or miss depending on the day tho."
"Generous portions, but the suya misses the mark on authenticity. While you get a lot of food for the price, the suya unfortunately doesn't taste like real suya. It completely lacks that signature smoky, charred grill flavor, and it doesn't even look like it ever touched a grill. On the bright side, the plantains were a 10/10—perfectly cooked. Just be aware that their stock picture is highly misleading; it looks like you get two side orders, but you actually only get one."

"This is my first time trying African Cuisine and I will say 10/10 recommend!!
I’m so glad I chose Juneteenth to try African food!
The Ogbono is so good! It is very spicy, idk if it comes that way. I will try to get regular next time. I thought it was completely vegetable, I had beef or stew meat - it was tender.
The pounded yam goes well with it, it reminds me of a ball of instant mashed potatoes. It helps with the spice.
The Moi-Moi is good! I might eat it for breakfast. The texture is smooth and solid. Its similar to tamale.
The Suya was a little tough. The purple sliced onions were really good and spicy as well.
The meat pie was good! I got chicken, it was flavorful. I was expecting the chicken to have more juice to it.
Overall each item was full of flavor and spices. I will reorder this again along with a dessert!! I think this is a great place for a first timer! If you have never tried African cuisine, be open minded and give it a try!"

"You will not be disappointed, this food healing for my mind, body and soul. the food flavorful and seasoned to perfection."
"Pepper Soup : there were too many different types of goat meat,I believe there was a cut cow or goat tongue in there as well with cow skin and some other parts I couldn't recognize. I prefer less meat . $19 for small soup in a container :( . Did not taste like regular spicy pepper soup. Was a little watery.
Moin Moin :was hot but okay, I notice some fish in it and it makes it not very appetizing to eat without worrying about swallowing some.
Vegetable Soup (Efo Riro) : It was okay, I did not find it tasty, took a few bites maybe three to taste it better. notice it was cooked in palm oil, along with the pepper soup."

"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."

"Wow. I honestly had low expectations for the portion size since I ordered the meal box but it was absolutely perfect! I was able to save a little more than half a cup of the spicy rice to use for another meal (since it's packed with rice), and I finished the rest of the bowl. The beef suya, suya rice, plantain, corn salsa and the sauce were 10/10!!!! I absolutely have nothing else to say except the fact that I will be ordering this again multiple times during lunch time!"
"The fried plantain was absolutely delicious and the cucumber salad is excellent. 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. Everything was delicious and wonderfully seasoned. My only complaint is that I attempted this time to order the rice noodles again and instead of getting the noodles, I got rice with a double lamb, and not rice noodles with double lamb. But the food was still excellent and I would highly recommend the rice with double lamb."

I will be ordering again! Hats off to the chef!"
"Oxtails - Entrée was very plentiful, only issue was I asked for white rice, not rice and peas which was bland.
Curry Potato Side was bland and the texture was like a smoothie/baby food.
The Callaloo Side was BLAND AND too watery. it was like they prepared it for someone who had trouble swallowing. Both sides need a touch of salt."
