I walked in and sat at the bar immediately because I saw people there and wasn’t sure about the set up, then a woman from a window way in the back asked me if I wanted food. I said yes and walked back there and put in my order. I got Okra Soup and Egusi with Jollof rice. I waited like 10 minutes then got everything super hot. I drove 30 minutes home with everything and it was still hot. The rice was everything!! And the okra soup was my favorite. I’ll definitely be back.

Looking to explore, we decided to go to Nico's, the customer service was great. The lady who served us was polite and friendly. The prices are great too, not what I expected at all. The food? Delicious and well-proportioned. The atmosphere also felt like a typical Nigerian restaurant. I recommend!

I got jollof rice, plantains with goat & chicken, gizzards, and pepper soup and everything was great... The owner is so nice just make sure you call before you go to see if they are open because she does events and weddings...

I have their catered food on several occasions at various events but this was my first time in the restaurant. I had jollof rice, moin moin, fried plantain (dodo) and fish. My absolute favorite is always the moin-moin. It was well flavored and just the right firmness. The jollof rice was also good. Will be back for more

Food was amazing and filling. People that owned the establishment was so sweet and caring. Big portions of food for the price. I would definitely go back. I will have to warn you, unless you've been to this place or know this place, it can be a bit scary. It looks like an abandoned building even during operating hours. We have been here a few times and we still couldn't guess whether it was open or not and had to call to check. But it is worth it. Try it out!

Knowing the constraints with getting ingredients, I'll give 5 stars because what we had was tasty. The goat meat was my favorite, Egusi soup was great too, and the jollof was cool. The meals are also cool for the prices.
