"I ordered beef efo with fufu For a total of $32 .. The beef was tough as nails I had to use a fork & knife to cut it . I am truly disappointed in this restaurant. Their portio are very small & they only gave me two tough pieces of meat. The efo lacked in flavor overall 2/10."

"10/10! I usually can't handle much spicy, but this I enjoyed. I was able to spilt it into 2 portions and still had some left overs we digged back in for. If you can handle a little heat, I fully recommend. And if it's your first time, you can trust this place! "

Divine Flavored Catering

"I didn't see any mushrooms in the champignon platano stew. The picture online shows whole mushrooms, and the description says they're chopped. Maybe they were chopped so small I couldn't see them? Anyway, the flavor is great and I was happy with it. We ordered both the less spicy one and the more spicy one. I preferred the spicy one. It wasn't too spicy, just a really nice heat. I've had other dishes from here before that were excellent as well."

"the whole peppered grilled tilapia is a wonderful addition to the Divine menu!! Divine flavored catering is my go to for Naija food in NYC. The reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 is that the gizzard dodo portion is very small."

"Ewa Riro and Smokey Jollof Rice are an awesome combination if you want an Authentic West African Vegan option from Native. It is delicious, with the perfect amount of spice with flavor."

"Native skimps out on the Suya and Smokey Jollof Rice. The suya is mostly onions and tomatoes and cabbage and they barely give you meat. I ordered the Smokey Jollof Rice and I shoukdvr just ordered a side jollof rice because it was such a ridiculously small amount for $22"

"Yassa Jeun was delicious. So was the okra and Joloff Cocktail! The food here is always fresh and tasty. They have the best Senegalese food in the city."

"the Joloff cocktail was tasty (gingery if you like that sort of thing, which i do). the Dibbi was tasty as well but the Jollof rice was not as flavorful as I would have preferred (then again that's probably bc I'm Nigerian, ha). when i arrived for pickup, they hadn't yet received the order and it had been over 40 minutes. not sure if it's an issue with Doordash or the restaurant but overall, good service.

"Deff a 10/10 will order again ! My first time tryin Efo, Mackerel Fried Fish, Eba and omg it is my to go to now. I love the way this meal was prepared!very flavorful, meal was nice and warm ready to eat and the pieces of fish were very nice sizes. I highly recommend not it Lu the meal but the restaurant my new favorite place to eat!"

"Best thing was the Jollof Rice. It was amazing. And the portion size was very good. The puff puff was okay but it tasted a little stale. I haven't been able to get fresh Puff Puff anywhere. But you do get a great portion size here. The Suya beef meat was horrendous. It looked two days old. Dry, hard, cold and tough. They definitely just pulled out two day old meat, tried to warm it up small, and put suya pepper and onions on top. I made DoorDash give me my money back. The Egusi, Mixed Meat, Pounded Yam had good flavor. But they definitely skimped me on the meat. I think next time I won't get mixed meat. It was all bone and fatty bits. But I would order the egusi again. Get the jollof. Don't get the suya"

"The mixed meat is cooked separately from the efo. The meat was soft, but the locust bean was not cooked through, there was no stock fish, so the flavor was lacking from the efo and there wasnt enough efo for cost. The Mixed Meat Soup only was nice, I only wished the meat was the same portions but cut in smaller pieces. The Efo soup was okay, I have had better."

"The swallow with goat meat was good savory spicy but the goat was a little too gamy for me. When ordering this make sure that you select to put special instructuonssi you can tell them if you would like okra, egusi or eforiro , as your base for your soup. The Suya was SUPERRRRRR SPICY but it was balanced with the white onions very well. "

"The Jollof was decent. Not very spicy (for a Nigerian). A little smoky in flavor. The jollof tasted better in the areas that the stew from the goat touched. Maybe I'm a purist, but I believe jollof should be able to stand on its own WITHOUT added stew (it's not white rice). Without the stew, this jollof was better than the one I had from Buka (without stew). With stew, Buka's (with stew) edges this one out. The goat was fine, nothing particularly special. Cooked well overall. The portion size for the food is great though!"
