I wanted to try egusi and fufu and after doing research this place was very local. My first experience was very unpleasant. While waiting on my order it seemed the ladies behind the counter were talking to 2 gentleman who had dined in and they seemed to be having a disagreement about the bill. After my food was ready the lady rang myself and my friend out ( she was paying card, I paid cash ) her total was 22.25 so I gave the lady 25.25 and she didn’t give me a receipt or change. I asked for a receipt and she said she did my total wrong. After giving me my receipt I see Where she only charged me $21 when my friend and i ordered the exact same thing. she then tells me she rung me out wrong I don’t get change. I told her if I was charged 22.25 I’d get $3 back since I gave her $25.25. She wasn’t very understanding and kept saying she did it wrong but they charge a hidden fee if you use card which is why my total paying cash was different than my friends who paid card. ( I did get my $3 change ) Also the fufu was very doughy and stuck to my fingers making it hard to work with. The egusi soup was very dry. Overall my experience wasn’t great. I will be trying egusi and fufu again just not at this Location. They offer what looked like a buffet but honestly the food behind the glass looked like it had been there for day. I should have went with my gut and left before ordering but lesson learned.

Soup poorly packaged and no vegetables. Paid for soup, but barely anything left. Fufu was still dough - inedible. I contacted the restaurant and will do nothing to rectify. We will never eat there again.

Upon entering the establishment we were given the most unfriendly welcome. While entering, we were rudely asked “WHAT DO YOU WANT” as if we could answer that having never been there before. We were told we can view a menu at the countertop where we continued to receive more unwelcoming energy. We asked if we could dine in and were told that they were about to close even though they close at a 9p and it was only 8p. After such an unpleasant experience from just walking in, we decided it best that we just leave to avoid any further discomfort.
