This place NEVER disappoints! The soup is always good! It’s our first time trying the stewed chicken and it wasn’t the best, the chicken seems old and hard.. However the Jollof rice was sooo good… Lesson learned, I will stick with the Egusi and Okra soups, they give me such warm feelings… Thank you for my touch of Africa in Austin

Tasty dishes. Really good Nigerian food

Disappointed. Ive craved Nigerian food since moving back to Austin. I took my sister to introduce her to the cuisine, it wasnt a good experience. She ordered Okra soup w/o meat it was full of large fish bones and pieces of stock fish and no flavor. I ordered Egusi w/ goat meat, better flavor but not as flavorful as Nigerian food I had in Houston. The goat meat was tender but the Egusi was also full of fish bones and stock fish. Seems like the soups are cooked with all meat and its picked out based on what the customer orders. The suya, plantains and fufu were good with. I wont be going back.

I ordered jollof rice with beef. Eating as I type: it is so delicious. Rice is perfect. Red stew is tasty. Beef is tender ! I will be back.

Best place to eat and eanjoy Africa delicious food with great staff

The take out was horrible! This is the second time Ive been given old bad food for takeout. The soup was sour and I had to throw it out. I drove from work 30mins away to and fro for that. Very disappointing. No more take outs for me.

Im giving 2 stars because the host was very nice. I had the jollof rice with goat. The goat was stringy, dry, and there was very little meat, mostly skin. It was nearly impossible to cut with the table knife provided. It tasted like it had been frozen for a long time previous to preparation. The rice was hard and dry with little to no sauce. Definitely not a good representation of jollof in my opinion, more like this is a market and they also serve food.The atmosphere was not great. The television was blaring music, making it nearly impossible to carry on a conversation over dinner. Theres a bar, but it doesnt looked like its stocked. Alcohol is served in plastic cups. There were flies buzzing the table. Overall I felt like I was eating in an outdoor market versus a restaurant. It was a very unprofessional business atmosphere.For a $30 meal this was definitely not a good value. Im sure the food cost was about $1.50. I like to support local businesses, but I wont be back to this establishment.

Very laid back fun environment. Went for my sisters birthday. The owner takes your order. Wonderful personality!!! Feels comfortable, just being at home. We were trying African for the first time with a friend who has been there before. I had the goat pepper soup with plantains and it was delicious! If you love spice it definitely hits the spot. The goat was like eating tender beef tips. I was really surprised. My boyfriend had the Jollof rice with beef. OMG it was the best. It was so flavorful and had the perfect amount of spice. We cant wait to go back. If youre looking to venture out for some good food and music try this gem!!!

Purchased African food stuff. Price very reasonable

Only Nigerian RESTAURANT and Bar with an African Grocery store in Austin. One of a kind experience with Sam and his Family. Gonna visit again and again. Come see for yourself!

Really disappointed! Restaurant had an awful smell from the toilet, the rice was so small, same with the meat and I paid $16. Customer care is zero.I don’t post reviews but I had to post this one!

The people were nice and the food is delicious

Food was good but needed more seasoning

Am still trying figure what to do with all this dry yellow rice. I ordered fried rice & goat. What i received was rice and sprink of veggies and two small dry pieces of goat with no sauce. I wish i opened the well wrapped pack before paying. Cmon guyz!

Great authentic West African food! Everyone was very polite and welcoming to me, who is obviously not African. The Fufu and Jollof rice were amazing!

The food here is authentically delicious. The jollof rice was the best Ive ever had in my life so far and Ive had quite a bit made by a number of people. The chicken with the rice was so good I actually sucked the bone and bit into it to release the tasty juices!!THE OGBONO SOUP: I ate it for the first time and it was sooooo good. The texture was definitely new to me and reminded me of slimy egg white but the fufu balanced this out and made it easier to focus on the well combined flavors.I highly recommend this truly Nigerian eatery.

This place was GREAT, the fufu with the goat soup was amazing. Also you should try the jollof rice was very flavorful and delicious. Everyone should definitely try this place. The owner was very nice and accommodating. The atmosphere was very unique though, doesn’t look like the picture, it looks more like a club, but it was still great.

Amazing Food and Amazing Service. I didnt expect anything less. Ive never been to an African Restaurant or Market and received poor service.

I think if you are not from Nigerian, forget about customer service here especially on the restaurant side. The lady by the kitchen rudely asked me what I wanted and pointed to the menu. In addition, the rice was dry and the fish kinda cold and mediocre on taste to say the least.

First time in Austin was looking for a place to have a nice African meal, I called and placed my order. And all I can say the peppers soup, rice was the best, my next trip back to Austin I will order my meal, there... and GPS is misleading...

Whenever I am craving vegetable soup, this is my go to place . 😋

Had the pounded yam+egusi, rice and stew+beef&dodo and Jollof rice+chicken. Every dish taste authentic and delicious. If you are Nigerian or west African treating guests to cultural dishes, this is the spot to go.

A hidden gem! The menu consists of many Nigerian and West African dishes. Walking in, the atmosphere is so relaxed. The lady at the register also took orders and was patient while we ordered. I got the jollof rice with fish. It was a treat, but expect healthy portions of palm oil. If you want less oil you can ask. I recommend giving this place a go!

My husband and I googled an Afriacn restaurant in Austin as we were passing through town heading back to Dallas. I must say I absolutely enjoyed my Goat and Fried Rice it was nice. My husband had the Goat Pepper soup and it was lovely (yes I had to taste it). We will visit again. Hats off to the cook.

This place is very good. Highly recommend.

Now if youre African/Nigerian, patronize this place. Their dishes are very delicious and high quality. The owner, Mr.Sam is so friendly.

Had what I needed. Pure shea butter. Friendly service.

Home cooking. Nice!

Prompt service. unique opportunity to enjoy west african food in austin.

Omg the best Nigerian cuisine I have ever ate. I will make sure to stop here every time I’m in Austin.

The owner seems like a decent man however, the location is nothing to write home about. The location is dirty, unkept and full of homeless pple roaming around. We didnt feel safe and I can only imagine what is going on back in their kitchen.As for the food, the meat in the Egusi was tasteless, The jollof rice was hard. We will not be coming back unless we see improvement.

This place has experienced an upgrade in recent time. You will buy nicely prepared Nigerian cooked food in the restaurant section and raw food in their African Mart. You will be well attended to. If you are so hungry and live in Austin, this is a place to call.

Clean, beautiful and good food.

Love eating here!!!

Learn how to be polite. All of the positive reviews are clearly from family and friends. Im Nigerian and I dont believe that Nigerian restaurants should exude so much attitude. You are there to serve your customers not treat them terribly. I cannot support a business (Nigerian or not that is this terrible). Instead try Wasota African Cuisine- Laurence is phenomenal, kind, personable, and does not shame our culture by being an a hole. Also I can guarantee you that all of the positive reviews are from friends and family who arent being honest. If you are only polite and only give decent customer service to family and friends- then you arent polite

An absolutely horrible experience. Not professional at all. Disgusting attitude. Order $17 dollar plate of goat and rice only to find 2 small pieces of meat. One of the pieces actually being pork and the other beef... no goat in the dish. Not to say pork is against my religion. I should have asked for a refund but decided that some ppl just should not be in business and if it continues to be ran in such a manner, it wont last long. NOT WHEN THERE ARE EXCEPTIONAL AFRICAN CUISINE WITH PROFESSIONAL ATTITUDES MINUTES AWAY!!

Im Nigerian and absolutely love the food here. Friendly service and love it so much I had to come and write a review before I call in an order. When I cant get Nigerian food from my Mom I come here. Im going to order the goat jollof rice this evening. Cannot wait to eat dinner here with a cold Heineken.

I visited Austin with my friend & we decided to go to this place. I ordered jollof rice w/fish, I never had african food this nasty before! Go to this restaurant at your own risk but I warned you. I couldnt even finish my food because it tasted so nasty. I love me some fish but this place is a no go; the food had a strong smell to it as well. They really need to do better in this place!

Absolutely delicious! I got some meat pies and Suya for a meeting, and they were a great hit with everyone! I look forward to going back!

Came here awhile back as I had a craving and this was one of the few places that came up. While the food was good they are definitely overcharging. I can mirror some other reviews and say if you’re expecting a huge plate of meat and rice you’d be mistaken. Two pieces and all the rice to fill you up so you don’t know how much meat you actually didn’t get. At $15-17 the markup is readily apparent.

Delicious food, good service, calm environment.👍tho I was given a wrong soup but they totally made up for it and was sincerely remorseful about it.thanks for your hospitality.😊 my trip from Dallas to Austin was a success 🤗

Very nice place to eat when you are craving Naija food. Great selection of rice, soup and more. There is also a store right beside it where you can buy ingredients to make your Nigeria food at home.

Was pretty disappointed by this place. The service was awful which you come to expect from Nigerian restaurants but it took forever for the single server to give me a menu, get my water, and take my order. The food wasnt awful but was not as flavorful as expected. I dont think I can recommend this place to anyone

Visiting from Houston, tried the food and the fish was particularly tasteless and not seasoned. The food was very poor to me

Run 360 miles away away from this restaurant. Environment is zero. Food taste nasty and sour. If there is negative star Ill give this place. Honestly Im not the kind person that give negative comments about people business but this is not it @ all. Texas food depts need to visit the place.

Fun environment good food

Great food experience! A group of former Peace Corps Volunteers met here over the weekend, and it was great. I had the Pounded Yam (aka. fufu) with Pepper Soup and goat meat, and everything was perfect. The other people eating with me enjoyed their Jollof Rice, Fried Rice, and Fried Plantain dishes.Anyone looking for West African food in Austin should check this place out!(Note, Im not sure what their vegetarian options are, but most of the soups and stews are cooked with meat and fish. Even if you ask for a vegetarian version of a stew, it is probably going to have some fish and fish bones.)

I ordered meat pie and suya on ubereats and was sent rotten meat and dried meat pie. Too much of a coincidence that both items were defective and I am totally disappointed. You need to ensure that the quality of food that you are selling is good.

The food was excellent and the customer service was superior. My daughter and I are definitely going back soon.

Not bad

Good food but need to improve customer service

An eye-opening experience. First time trying West African food. We got the jollof rice with chicken and the goat stew with Fufu. The jollof consisted of rice with tomato sauce. It was pleasantly seasoned but not too spicy. The fufu looked very much like mashed potatoes but was blander and is meant to be mixed with the main dish. The goat stew is only for the adventurous aegophage. Prepare for a mound of assorted flesh containing large blood vessels and some unidentifiable structures. But it tastes good, if you really like goat. The service is excellent, and you can watch Nigerian TV while you wait.

Nah, never again. This is one of the few African spots in Austin and my food wasnt cooked fully and they gave me pork instead of goat in my stew. I will never return here.

A cool place to enjoy all Nigerian cuisine and drinks. Just a visit there will convince you.

Never going back for sure. They sure have some good stuff! But they also sell things that have been frozen for years (Bobolo, meats..etc).....and what they call cassava flour is some strange mixture! what not to do to squeeze an extra dollar! STAY AWAY!

Not once did someone come to our table to serve us but the person that invited me was the server our our drinks and I was there for 40 minutes. Im am African American and I feel more welcome at a Mexican restaurant or Chinese Buffet. The booths we not comfortable at all. The atmosphere was dull. I couldnt tell if the do is was goid cayse as I said no one came to our table to serve. Poor service. If I could give 0 stars then I would have.

I know you’re hungry but don’t do it. Just don’t or you can see for yourself and review later :)

Their Moto or tag line should be called ‘bringing home to you’ because that’s what they do.✌🏾

First time and wont be the last. Food is amazing here and customer service is A+++

A very nice and comfortable place to eat original African/Naija food. They are friendly and welcoming. You want better Naija food in central Texas visit this store.

Bomb dot com food

First, I was very skeptical about this place since I haven’t been here before or heard from someone close about the place. So I search on my google map for African store and restaurants. I got here and I trusted them with my order. Boom! the okro soup is too good 😎

Great place to shop, friendly and helpful to the needs of customers. They make you feel at home.

I cant say I would try this place again. I ordered from ubereats. I had 2 orders of Jollof one with chicken one with fried fish, 2 orders of Suya and a small order of plantain. The suya was burnt...like completely black, the fish was Not fried it was baked and didnt taste very good. The same goes for the jollof. The chicken was decent. Thats it. Nothing special or to remember. Maybe you have to dine-in?

Really good Nigerian food if you want to try something new you should eat here i really like it.

It was good the place wasnt very fancy but the food was excellent

Nice Nigeria Food Bar and shop in the heart of Austin TX

The food is very very good and the service is excellent, I would definitely recommend anyone to go to this restaurant. We purchased a little bit of everything such as; egusi soup, okra soup, pepper soup, along with jollof rice and pounded yam, all with goat meat except the okra we bought that with chicken, and trust me we tasted everything once we got home and it is all to die for, yummy, yummy.....

First time ordering my food here and i must say, i am very disappointed.

This place was superb

Great place to eat, her vegetable soup was superb.. I visited many restaurants around Austin & Dallas during my trip to texas, but, hers was exceptional...

Homely setting with delicious food. If you want to try something new to spice up your foodie life, check out this joint.

Nice Eatery and Lounging place to visit

I was taken here by a friend, and it is far more than it appears from the street. While the menu is short, it is quite delicious. It should really be tried if you want to experience Nigerian food.

Great service and great food!

Food was good, would definitely come back.

Had 2 small pieces of chicken and a pound of rice. Fish roll was disgusting and spoiled. Will not be going back.

Great staff and good food.

Fun place to eat and talk with friends

Ordered food via ubereats, the food was terrible. They give 2 pieces of though goat meat and tons of rice. The meat smelled terrible. I paid more than $30 for this horrible food.

Didnt like the food personally as an African

Best place to eat

Nice meal

Very rude!

Familiar and well made Nigerian dishes served

Terrible service. Food not very great

The goat plate was delicious!
