Olaide’s Kitchen

African restaurant

👍👍 Nigerian food at its finest. The appetizers are great. The swalo is unreal. Finest pounded yam with egusi. I enjoyed dining there and doing take away.

African Pot Eatery Food Truck

African restaurant

😠 The food is expensive. I don’t have a problem with that but at least the food should test good. I ordered ofada sauce and it was nothing like it. My family hated it so much, they felt like throwing up. It seems like you should take ofada sauce off your menu. I could taste stone and who even cooks of...
