When I say the okra soup and Amala is literally the best thing to me, I love my pounded yam but it's something about amala with Okra soup that just hits different and Jollof Buka makes it amazing every single time. The portion size is always amazing and it's always delivered piping hot ready to eat. 
Wow I have tried Efo x Egusi in so many restaurants but this was my first time but this is so far my favorite restaurant when it comes to Egusi. OMG and the dry tripe was so good I love the food so much. Very good portion. Fresh ingredients and tasty food. I wish I could get some tripe to cook at home haha. Thank you guys for the amazing food. Made my day.
