    • Cassandra A. ★★★★★ Their amala and ewedu is top notch. I literally ate it every day through out my pregnancy. They also sell jollof rice, rice and stew, beans and plantain.
    • Dolapo A. ★★★★★ This local restaurant sells rice, amala , eba x fufu. The price is pretty affordable, the lowest price of their meat is 100 all the way to 1500 for goat meat. The food tastes really good. I recommend to anyone around OPIC/I Sheri estate. I spend less than 1000 naira per visit for a meal

    • Oladayo G. ★★★★★ So I entered their branch at jakande on Saturday 20th December, to buy amala for take out, only for this guys to sell bad ewedu soup for me, I feel the ewedu was from the previous day, Omo I had stomach upset throughout that day. You guys did not try at all
    • Adesegun A. ★★★★ It 9s a good place for getting Nigerian food in the Ejigbo Area. It is a notch above similar places in the area and their prices are about 20% to 30% higher, but it is good value for money.
