This place has decent food but the wait and service is not worth it. Waited an hour plus for our food and some of the orders were incorrect. There was a small metal piece in the pounded yam and the management did not seem to care. There was no AC/fan and the restaurant was so hot, the baby was distressed and it just didn’t help the overall experience. It’s a shame because the food is okay but considering the price I would’ve really wanted better service.

Excellent service, egusi soup with fish and pounded yam.Orkra soup seafood.This are my favourite. Test cooked with clean hand and clean mind. I can't wait to celebrate my birthday there in 2023

If you are driving to this place you need to avoid this. it is just your box standard takeaway but you are sure to get a parking ticket as the private parking operates in the area use these shops as a lure to hand parking tickets. you must avoid parking around these areas. I have been to this locality twice and both time got parking tickets.

Every time I come here the customer service and the food is always exceptional! I would recommend for a date night as the decor is so cute, it’s a mix of traditional African art with a modern architectural twist that just sets it apart from your typical African restaurant.

Its hit and miss with this place! Enjoyed the food once or twice. Service is average at best, food definitely not worth the money. Called once at 12 (opening time) for food collection. They chef was not there!! and the guy on the phone said they wanna check leftovers as the restaurant has been closed for 2 days confirming they do not sell fresh food here.Also took my cousin there once from the US and they had to reheat his soup because parts were cold (surely you cannot do that!). They refused a cash payment because its old denomination but the waiter took it anyways as a £20 tip (you just cannot write it). Last time I ordered a takeaway the Efo tasted like a 2 day old soup.This place has so much potential, if only the owners read the reviews as constrictive feedback and implement the comments to improve the experience of their customers and gain future business.

Last night's visit to the Reading franchise, started off with a poor welcome, then a wait of almost 20 minutes before we had to ask for the only waitress there to take our drinks order. That was followed by another wait for food for two. It wasn't busy but there was a lot of faffing around! The whole experience is one that gears towards not going there again! 'Awful service and the food, music and ambiance weren't that great either.

If I could rate this experience tonight 0, I certainly would.A guest booking of 7 charged extortion without a getting the value for it.I have been to 805 in London but the food is just awful 😞. How hard is it to put Maggie in a dish.? Even my sister’s cooking will beat that. If you can’t keep the standard, pls try some other cuisine.

Dont be fooled by the looks of it. This place is very nice. Heard about it from a friend who Really likes the food. Decor is beautiful. Portions are big! food is really tasty.We were the only ones there on a Tuesday 17.40. Took the kitchen 15min to have our food ready.Prices are ok. same price you pay at TGI, Franco, Wagamamas, starters from £8 and main meal £12-£17It is a good place to take friends or family members.It's surprisingly very wheelchair friendly !

Great tasting authentic African dishes. I've been a few times and been impressed each time with the service and quality of the dishes.

If you like chilli (scotch bonnet level) this is the place to go. This is West African cuisine which has a lot of grilled meat and fish and fried plantains. The Jollof rice is fantastic and something everyone who tries West African cuisine for the first time must have. Reading has plenty of predictable large chain restaurants, this is something different that you won't find everywhere (except their two other branches in London!) They also do takeaway if you don't want to be seen sweating in the restaurant on account of the chilli's.
