Great tasting authentic African dishes. I've been a few times and been impressed each time with the service and quality of the dishes.

I went here because I have been to the one in London and enjoyed eating there but the food I ate in Reading was awful, seafood banga, the only seafood was 2 scallops, fish head and half a small crab and the banga tasted burnt like they have warmed it over and over again. I absolutely hated it. Lovely staff and ambience though.

Loved the nkobi and suya I don't know the name of the soup I ate but it definitely wasn't Oha as requested. The edikakong was just okay nothing exta about it.Good ambience, lovely staff

This is by far my worst experience at this restaurant. I have been here a few times and today's visit was absolutely horrible. We visited this restaurant as part of a large family group today 29th July 2023. The waiter forgot our table and after being reminded a few times about our table he came to take our orders after over 1hr 30minutes of being at the restaurant.Our family group paid for all our meals and left us at the restaurant. Our food was still not ready. My Monica fish was served after over 2 hours at the restaurant. My husband's chicken quarters with jollof rice was served about 30 minutes after mine. Then the nkwobi, the edikaikong soup, and finally the 2nd Monica fish was served, and we spent a total of 3.5 hours at this restaurant.How can there be only one waiter serving and one at the bar? The dishes on the tables were cleared after over 2 hours because the poor waiter was overwhelmed and we felt sorry for him. He acknowledged that he forgot about us and then tried to make it up to us. Other customers were angry and upset with the delay to their food.805, this is a mess. Fix this and put a working system in place to accommodate a large group of people. I have never had a great experience at this restaurant.

AVOID!!! The previous reviews are TRUE!!!!The chef is lazy and cutting corners!!!Had Monica fish while waiting for take away. Fish was dry. This hints that it was precooked and put on the grill when the customer ordered. It always used to be freshly cooked. Spent over £130. We were given undercooked amala as takeaway. We tried to correct it at home, it didn’t improve. Take away sauces we’e going bad. Egusi was spoilt. Efo riro was slimey, even the meat. Edikainkong caused food poisoning. What are you serving after charging so much?!!!!! The amala was also sandy. We won’t be back.ZERO STARS

This is a total mess. 2 hours and food didn't come out , top it up they where serving the people that came after us , got up and left. Total mess. How ther he'll do you have one girl , waiting, Serving , cleaning and bar tending. Top it up was ask to wash hand in the toilet before I can eat . Totally unhygienic. Damn just close the damn place. This place is a disgrace.

Dont be fooled by the looks of it. This place is very nice. Heard about it from a friend who Really likes the food. Decor is beautiful. Portions are big! food is really tasty.We were the only ones there on a Tuesday 17.40. Took the kitchen 15min to have our food ready.Prices are ok. same price you pay at TGI, Franco, Wagamamas, starters from £8 and main meal £12-£17It is a good place to take friends or family members.It's surprisingly very wheelchair friendly !

I used to come here regularly and the service was almost always exemplary however, the food standards have dropped & the wait times are ridiculous. We waited 1:30 mins for our food even though it was just the 4 of us inside the entire restaurant. The food is not fresh and the prices are now ridiculous. It’s a shame as this used to be a good Nigerian restaurant. Save your time & money and go elsewhere - I’m never coming here again
