Absolutely fantastic Nigerian food served here. Free parking. Good menu. Big bold flavors. Fresh food. Friendly staff. Clean. I'm excited to return and try other dishes.

0 stars.! I order from this restaurant ALOT almost EVERY DAY. I ordered Efo yesterday it was GOOD. I ordered Efo today. I HAD MAGGOTS IN MY FOOD. Just HORRIBLE. They were moving. I will never order from this restaurant again. They lost a loyal customer.

Egusi soup 10/10. The fufu is a taste I have to get used too though. But in overall, I really enjoyed this flavorful meal. Very filling.

Was my FIRST time trying Nigerian food & I was so excited. It was soooo good & so many good flavors. Not too much spice, just enough. The turkey meat was so yummy .. had a tender chewy like texture. I will be going back to try some more foods!

LOVE IT HERE!!! The food is nothing short of amazing ? The dining experience is lovely especially when you add a hookah topped with Blueberry Mint after your meal. The vibe feels like I left Indianapolis for a couple hrs to enjoy a lovely Afro Caribbean dining experience out of town. The staff was nice and help me with every one of my needs and was also brief in description with everything we ordered. I highly suggest EfoxEgusi w/ swallow ? also Goat pepper soup, Fish Pepper Soup, Asun, and or Red Stew. Take your taste buds to a new level and go visit Jollof Buka for a lovely outta town experience ?

I was very disappointed with my food. I order egusi with fish and puf puf. The fish and the puff puff was old you can tell the double fry the fish…..it was hard and no taste. The puff puff was also hard like rubber

Jollof rice was good, but the hen was very very tough & try, I could barely peel the meat from the bone. & it was like 80% bone. Rice was good, but the meat was gross.

I spent $41.41 on door dash for them to serve me some 99 cent ramon noodles and what they call pepper soup but looks and smells like dirty water. I never ever leave bad comments on restaurant but couldn't let this slide. This was too disappointing. I didn't even eat that trash

The fufu was tender and delicious, the Egusi was a bit bitter but edible and the chicken was quite dry, there were mostly bones. $16.00 was not spent well overall for the dry chicken and small portion of meal.Thank you for the experience hopefully there will be a next time if all is well.

We ordered this on DoorDash and LOVED it. The driver didn’t deliver half the food, but when we called the restaurant, they were super helpful and accommodating.The food was delicious and very quickly devoured! I will be ordering from them again!
