The food here is absolutely amazing and the people are even better! Amazing music and the people who run the restaurant are so lovely!

I ordered the Okra soup and it was absolutely delicious. It did take a bit longer to arrive, but considering how busy they were this week, I will forgive them for that. Bala provided great service as well.

I had a pleasant dining experience at this restaurant in Glasgow. I was craving Nigerian cuisine and was able to easily find the restaurant using Google Maps. The restaurant itself was clean and had plenty of seating for customers. I enjoyed the Afro music playing in the background, which gave me a feeling of being at home. The menu offered a variety of African Nigerian dishes, drinks, and snacks. I ordered the famous palm wine that I had missed for over 5 years. The prices were reasonable and the customer service was good, although they could benefit from hiring more staff to make the service faster - I had to wait about 30 minutes for my meal. The pounded yam I ordered didn't taste as auth... Ver carta
