Honestly the ambience here is amazing. From the minute you walk in you have such a great feeling very clean and well kept. The setting is very inviting. The food was great exactly as I expected. Will definitely be coming back! The chef also was very professional. Great place

I decided to give this African food truck a try because of how good the reviews were after doing deeper research I see 98% of the reviews are from 2 years ago. The goat pepper soup was a 3/10 the soup was watery and filled with salt! The goat was so hard to chew and needed to be cooked much longer. The goat meat was filled with bones and hardly any meat. The egusi was filled with oil and SALT did not taste good at all. The food was extremely OILY . The egusi had two small pieces of turkey meat a big cow foot bone no meat. Not to mention this salt filled meal cost nearly 50$ you’re better off going to an authentic African restaurant for better food and a better price. ZERO STARS

Food was good but I asked for all things to be vegetarian and there was meat I think beef in my spinach soup/ curry and I religiously cannot eat beef

Had the jollof rice and goat meat. Never had jollof before so can't comment on authenticity but I liked it. Goat meat was, no exaggeration, the texture of shoe leather. Grew up on goat meat and that's 100% poor cooking technique. Either give the meat another 2-3 hours to soften up or use some Asian velveting technique to speed up the process. You can't keep selling this. If doing a better job just means cooking the food a little longer then you not doing that simple means you don't care enough to do better. $17 for a lot of rice isn't going to get you a lot of repeat customers. I certainly don't intend to return. Also goat didn't taste like goat. Probably it was mutton, which is legal in the US to do, but sketchy.

Very poor customer service. Was not impressed at all for the food does not put the price out for diner time. My fault for not asking the price upfront. Ate in Many Nigerian Restaurant in NJ and the same food was way less the taste is not that impressive either very salty indeed. Pointed out to him the pricing being very expensive compare to actual Nigerian dine in restaurant and the gentleman started arguing and we proceeded to thanking him and leaving.

I had high hopes for this African food truck but my expectations was not met. On my lunch break I ordered Jollof rice & whiting fish. It was suggested by the owner ready-to-go, so my wait was not long. The order was $25 no complaints because again high expectations & also African foods are known to be very filling. I get back to work to take a peek of my food & what I saw was a weeks supply of rice in a large square container & in a small separate container the end of a fish & 2 tiny round chucks of the fish end with no sauce aka gravy. I assume the fish was cut up but nothing meaty about it at ALL. The amount of rice given was ridiculous as if he didn’t want to waste the rice later that night so he piled it on. I spent my hard earned $25 to not even get half of a fish yet a whole one. Customer service was very poor! Went back twice to resolve after sharing my complaint. The first visit the owner sent his employee to relay a message saying that, that is the portion & that fish is expensive. The second visit was not pleasant at all. He threw another dry tiny chuck of fish & was dismissive after that. This is why I will not be supporting food truck after this disappointment. I get that prices for food are expensive but if you are in high traffic areas. Expect your meat portion to meet up with the average plate size NOT under. I didn’t bother to ask for my money back because dude was on edge & I knew it wouldn’t end well. I gave my food away to the security in my apartment building. I HAD LOST MY APPETITE DUE TO A VERY DISAPPOINTING EXPERIENCE!
