Decent food. I've only tried a few African spots in Pittsburgh, and this has been on the less delicious side. Still, it was very decent food. And, many of the food items were unique, so it's nice to have spots like this in the area. I ordered the beef meat pie, puff puff (3 of them), and akara bean 'cake.' My favorite of the items were the delicious puff puffs. If you want a nice, chewy, donut-like snack, then this is the food for you. It was not too oily and very cheap, at a dollar for each of the dough balls. The inside as fluffy. Not too flavorful. I would have enjoyed it more with a dusting of sugar; then, it would serve as a nice dessert. The Akara was interesting. It seemed to have little bits of vegetables included within this bean cake. I was surprised by the level of spice and flavor included in this small patty. It was on the greasier side as well, but also quite inexpensive at just $1.50. Finally, the meat pie was not very good. It was thick in breading and extremely dry. Not just the breading was dry, but the meat itself was as well. It was not very flavorful but did have a little bit of vegetables included as well. Small portion size for the price. All in all, I was not the biggest fan of the food. The portions were quite food and dry, and the flavors were not particularly good. I have not tried many African foods, but there are much better places in Pittsburgh. Definitely try Fabs, it's got similar food but much better quality.
Absolutely incredible service and food. Our server was very knowledgeable and helped us make our selections. This was our first time at the restaurant and we hope to return. Some of the best comfort food I have ever eaten. Highly recommend dining here. My favorite dish was Ewa Aganyin.
Beautiful spice level... everything was delicious! We had spicy cow foot, snails, banga, and eforiro with fufu to sop up the tasty gravies and all of it washed down with some cold Nigerian beers, Star and Gulder. One of the most flavorful, contenting meals ive had in PGH
We stumbled across this restaurant when we were checkint the vegan bakery next door, and we where happily surprised at all the vegan and gluten free options they had for us. The food is delicious, full of flavor! The service warm and kind and the atmosphere made us feel like we were visiting motherland. Highly recommended!
I have been here twice and i can say that it is mediocre in quality. Dishes are not authentic. They substitute a lot and it is very expensive for the quality. I had banga soup and it was salty and didn't even taste like palm nut soup. At a previous time i had edikakong and it was nothing like the real thing. The puff puff is oily and too sweet. Not the best African restaurant but could be sufficient for the unsuspecting diner.
