This lady actually catered for a birthday party I went to this evening. This is the best amala ewedu and gberi i have ever eatin. The stew was hot perfectly spicy and had soft and fried meat. Most restaurants do not boil their meat to be soft then fry it. Her food was exceptional. She will cater for me!!!

The food was excellent! I’m American and I prefer to have less spicy so my husband asked them not make it spicy…they didn’t. The food was fresh and delicious.

We found this place on Google while on vacation in Houston. It's a decent place with the atmosphere of an african restaurant. The food was the best part. We ordered fufu and vegetables stew and Amala and Gbegiri. Oh my goodness! It was the best. For a total of $47, the taste, quality and quantity exceeded our expectations. We will come again if we are around this area. Thank you for wonderful service and great food!
