👍 Nice spot to get Nigerian suya. It's a takeout spot with benches outside for people who want to sit and enjoy the atmosphere of the busy street. The suya spices come in varying hotness levels. It's delicious. I recommend.

👍 My Nigerian boyfriend and I always come here for their egussi and Efo riro. The flavors are simply amazing. We have also tried their jollof but it’s not our favorite as it’s a bit too smoky for us. They also only take cash which is inconvenient. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone...
