"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. "

"Puff puff is a 10/10. The beans is out of this world. I really do enjoy the combination. The rice and chicken is very delicious . Best restaurant in town imo"
"First time ordering from Sylanim Savors: I have to admit that the prep time was fast, prices are very reasonable, the packaging is impeccable and most of all the quality and flavor are excellent. I am impressed with the golden quality of the puff puff. My family and I enjoyed everything we got and can’t wait to order again. I highly recommend this place.

"The amala itself was soft and smooth. The stew lacked flavor or spice, there was barely any protein and the gbegiri was quite grainy. And there was barely any stew in that bowl.

"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!"

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."

"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."

"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."

I ordered the Boneless Curry Chicken - Roti (Dhalpuri) along with Spinach Side and Curry Potato Side and Coco Bread Side! Omgggggg! The food is so flavorful and worth the purchase! 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."

"I placed an order from this store yesterday. The meal was so delicious that I returned today and ordered the beef shawarma and a goat meat fried rice. It is the finest shawarma I have tasted in quite a while."
"I am sorry to say that I am disappointed in the food that I received from this restaurant, as I had such high expectations from a 4.9 rated establishment. Unfortunately, the portion sizes of both the Beef Suya and the Lamb Dibi were not worth the high prices that we paid. We especially found the Beef Suya way TOO salty and were unable to finish the small portion received. This was definitely not money well spent."

"4. Pounded Yam Served with Your Choice of Soup & Meat. Is my ultimate favorite meal I always get the pounded yam and cassava leaf with goat meat, it's a hit every time.
"
"EVERYTHING WAS COLD AND NASTY WHEN IT ARRIVED... My order was ready when the Dasher got there so, my food sat for an hour before a Dasher was assigned to my order. This place is selling FAKE AFRICAN DISHES!!!!!!! I ordered Pounded Yam with Egusi and it was awful. The pounded yam was mashed potatoes rolled into a ball and the bowl of spinach was NOT EGUSI. My Jallof rice is mushy.. Also ordered the "Jumbo Shrimp" for $4.99 and they are NOT jumbo. The shrimp option has no description, so I was given Frozen Coconut Shrimp that were cooked in bad grease. I'm so pissed. I spent $56 and could not eat the food. I feel like I was robbed of my money and Doordash acts like there is no understanding of what's going on. If Doordash can't accommodate me for this terrible experience, MANAGEMENT should!"
