    Growing up in London, I always love a good Jollof every now and then. My favourite is Nigerian jollof but Gambian is a close second.Since I moved up north, it’s hard to find an authentic ‘aunty’ made Jollof rice. Then I stumbled upon this place and I was over the moon it was served by a Nigerian aunty and the price was very reasonable.Unfortunately when I took this home, I have to say it was not as good as I imagined it could be. It’s very dry, not that spicy, more tomato based. I did not get any hint of scotch bonnet. Also the meat is tough. I ordered a goat jollof and a chicken jollof. The goat jollof was much better than the chicken that’s for sure. Didn’t taste that bad. I had the malt drink which washed it all down but overall I would not go back to this place.

    Food was tasty and flavoursome. However quantity questionable. Okro stew had no sauce to it. Whilst the gbegiri soup was not gbegiri and had only two pieces of meat. Not much for £. I took photos but unable to post.Also, book ahead of time as delivery takes more than an hour. Has happened on the two occasions when meals have been ordered.

    Ordered via a food app and they had a delivery time. The order was late. When I asked they said the driver was stuck in traffic . I called to ask to speak to the driver but the staff were shouting at me. Turns out the food hadn’t left the store the first time I called over minutes before.Very unprofessional staff and the food was sub par.

    I only placed an order and did not visit. The customer service representative was awesome. She added free water because I couldn't on Deliveroo. I ordered goat white rice and ayamase stew, assorted meat pepper soup and assorted meat itself. It was my best meal while visiting Leeds.Right temperature, right quantity not sacrificing quality. Infact, I couldn't finish it. Although I read many bad comments that almost discouraged me, but I thank God I took the risk.Thanks to you guys.
