This is some seriously authentic Nigerian food and it's cooked with love. The proprietress/head chef is a lovely lady who's not shy about coming to your table and explaining food origins and the correct way to eat the fufu. The food is fresh and cooked from scratch, to perfection. There's a perfect balance of spice, oil, and heat. Interior is clean and comfortable, service efficient and friendly, and prices are very reasonable! I love that such exotic food is right here in Charlotte.
