“ Delicious! I got Egusi soup with Beef, cow skin and tripe. It was my first time trying the cow skin I usually get goat meat but decided to try the tripe and cow skin with beef. I must say the beef was tender and juice the tripe was a bit chewy but I've had tripe soup and it's usually like that but the cow skin definitely made the dish! It was so juice and tender it reminded me of pig feet stew like my family made in my country. I will definitely be getting it with cow skin from now on. The spice level was perfect too it wasn't overwhelming at all for me and even my husband who can't stand spicy food loved it. The fufu was delicious as well. The only thing I would change is the portion of fufu, I definitely ran out before I finished my egusi soup. Other than that I will definitely be coming back here to eat. ”
“ Best African Cafe hands down! The food is so good me and my family eat here at least 2 times a week. Even my picky kids love the fufu and egusi! My mouth is watering just thinking about this dish! ”

“ I feel amazing spending my money here....till yesterday idk why I went anywhere else. It's not over priced and best of all it tastes sooo good. The spice is on point and I can't believe that bc a lot of places in America changes that....I'm just saying, if your looking for real African food that reminds u of back home this is it. Thank you chef ”
“ This was my first time trying African food and I was stunned! The food was so flavorful and delicious the plantains were on point and the pounded yam was divine! Would definitely eat here again! Only thing was I was told three meats and I only got two meats and the meats were very small as you can see in the photo... other than that good food. ”
“ My order was through Uber eats and my order was A-1 from delivery, food, taste and satisfying! Just the right amount of spice and everything nice. Will order here again! ”
“ The vegetables soup was the first thing I tried from this place. It got my taste buds going crazayyy. Love it and I ordered multiple times later on. Then I orders the egussi soup at least twice, it was soooo delicious. Love it. Then I order the obono soup and eba ( pounded cassava). Took me by surprise, I did expect the obono soup to be slimy and the eba to be sour. I give the restaurant a call, the owner was so niiice. She said it was suppose to be slimy and cassava is sour because it was my first time. As somebody who hate any food with okra consistency, I was a little mad at first. But when the owner explain to me so nicely, I felt eager to try it. And I Lovee Ittt. I'm going my mother about this, somebody got me an okra consistency meal. Because God knows I absolutely hate Slimy food. But this dish got me loving it. Then I order the bitter leaf soup. I was youtube video on how to make it. The lady said it was not supposed to be bitter. But it was, absolutely bitter. At first not so much but then it got realllly bitter. I only ate the smoke meat and the fufu. I also prior to order the bitter leaf soup tried the ayamase soup. My siblings love it and I love it it was sooo delicious. Still love this place and I definitely look forward to exploring their menu more. ”
“ Delicious! I knew it would be a great choice for authentic Nigerian foods. If you're in Tampa stop by and have some of their delicious cuisines. Very friendly staff and cozy atmosphere. ”
