Tailat Kitchen (Nigerian Cuisine)

Guys this is a really amazing place to eat alone, or with friends and families. I came here with my colleagues and we enjoyed it . This was my first time in Austin and I was wowed. Their service was top notch that I had to go there twice, ate in the restaurant and took home. The owner was so friendly. 10/10

It's my first time here, so they had to tell me how to place my order which I did and paid for, it took about 20mins for all to be ready as it was made fresh, the packaging was neat, the staff was nice and calm, the environment tidy, clean, the bathroom very clean. The packed food was neatly done. I highly recommend this place if you want a taste of real and authentic Nigerian food.

So good food, first time trying nigerian food and did not fail about $20 for my dish. Delicious would definitely eat again. The waiter was so sweet and explained all the dishes and flavors. It was empty the sitting down but traffic for take out.

This Nigerian restaurant has delicious food- we ordered the jollof rice with fish stew, and the assorted meat pepper soup. We also ordered goat meat pepper soup, and egusi and fufu to go, and it was delicious! The wait wasn’t long and the food exceeded our expectations, and the service was very welcoming and warm. We will definitely be back!

So I am an African food lover. I traveled to Ghana this past year and nothing here even remotely compares to there so I’m not judging this off of Ghana but simply off the Nigerian spots here in the DFW. The flavor was lacking in the food in the Egusi… they said your choice of swallow but they did not have banku or fufu only pounded yam. The beef was hard and I couldn’t chew it… almost like jerky so I removed it. It also could have been grounded better for better swallow. The jollof rice tasted burnt. Had the right amount of Pepe but still the burnt taste made it bad. Basically like it had been cooking in the same pot all day and the bottom burned but they tried to savage it. The chicken had a lot of red sauce but was bland. The best thing was the dodo I gave it a 2 because the owner was kind.

I am so happy we have a Nigerian restaurant in our neighborhood. The food was delicious, server was very friendly, and the place was so clean. We will definitely dine here frequently!

For $35, here is what you get! Egusi on the menus shows that alone, so I ordered fish to put with it, which in my mine would have been fine if it was a plate full of it! The Egusi has about 5 tablespoons which tastes under cooked, one slab of bone, a tablespoon of tough meat and a hunk of skin/fat. The bone and gristle have no flavor. You’re not even able to chew whatever you’re able to get off the bone (zero meat) It tastes like it was boiled in water alone. The fish on the side. Which is smaller than my palm for $5. The taste of everything is terrible, the sauce taste with the fish is like tomato sauce! It was super tough and overly fried? on the outside. I’m honestly unsure. This food is unlike any Nigerian food I’ve eaten. This is by far the worst Nigerian food I’ve eaten, and I have been to many, many places!! I am extremely disappointed. The meal come with one swallow and I choose pounded yam (which was actually good, just small like all the other things) and ordered another to be able to share (because EVERY place I’ve been to the quantity is plentiful!!!) and it is literally in the trash!! I didn’t even take a picture, it had to be spoiled. My husband tried to thinking I was joking and nope, he spit it into the plastic. And just a heads up, this is NOT a restaurant. It’s a pick up place for Uber eats etc. but they are located in the back where they can have food ready. Do not plan on dining in, although on the website it shows tables and chairs giving the misrepresentation of being able to dine in.

My husband and I had just arrived to Austin and wanted to see what their African food scene was like. We stumbled across this restaurant and it was a mistake. The seafood okra (not pictured) was decent but lacked flavor. The egusi, zero stars. They are scamming people out of their money because I see another review that talked about few scoops of egusi and this animal bone that should have remained in the pot smh never again! Their website is very misleading and they should not be in business. The wait time on the kiosk said 20 min (which I knew would be a lie) when we ordered, it was a 40 min wait! Do not spend your money here smh
