I love Spinach with Chicken with Jollof Rice, Okra Go Follow and spinach with Fufu, and Groundnut Delight soup and seasoned to taste with goat and Jasmine Rice. Guava juice was very good too!

Ok haven't been in quite some time like a year or so. I wonder if different owner. I thought I did a review when I first went but guess I didn't. The flavors were good tonight just tasted different from when I first came. I did the west hut plate. My only complaint was the salad was drowned in salad dressing so it was soggy. The star of the show is the beef patties with the habanero sauce. Ambience was nice African music and customer service was excellent.

Holy smokes! Every bite reminded me of my mom. I ordered the okra soup and red efa It was so delicious. I'm mean yummy. I eat it by it self. The only think I didn't like was that the beef was boiled but not roasted or fried before it was dropped in the efa so it had a weird texture. It could also be the cut of meat. I recommend their chicken. I was amazed. It's was delicious too! I also love their jollof I'm impressed with this place for it being Arizona Oh and I ordered the hibiscus with ginger. It sent me to heaven Keep up the good work!

What a wonderful experience. My homie from Nigerian took me last to try some "Egusi and a whole fish". Can't wait to visit Nigeria myself. The food was amazing!!! Rich in seasoning and cooked to perfection. Waitresses were very nice also along with the beef patties. 10/10 Recommend.

Support black owned businesses . This restaurant is cute and the service is good, which you will not expect long wait hours! However, the food hits on some days. I have been here a couple of times, and got fufu with I love Spinach item (technically Egusi soup for my people). It's yummy, but sometimes it can be salty, so please reduce the salt for future orders. That's my reason I took off one star, but this restaurant also have events, so it's a vibe.

I really liked the I Love Spinach with goat. It was a little fatty but very flavorful. The fufu was ok and very filling. Although, I think everyone's favorite was the meat hand pie. The crust was light and so well-balanced. I thought the goat was a little chewy, the fufu was a little under seasoned but the service was great and it's a wonderful alternative to everything else in the area

Food: we ordered the west hut with shrimp and jollof rice and it was sooo tasty. Plantains and a coleslaw comes with it and it was amazing. We also got the groundnut delight with fufu. I personally didn't like the fufu but at least I can say I've tried it Drinks: we ordered the sobolo and it was a hibiscus drink that was so tasty! Service: our server was so nice and helpful I wish I had gotten her name, she was great! Ambiance: fun decor and you can tell it's a favorite spot bc everyone knew everyone and were having fun socializing. Also they had a dj with great music!
