“ Everything was very tasty. The jollof rice had a nice spice and the red stew was a good addition to the chicken. The server was personable & efficient. ”
“ The food was absolutely delicious. I got the Jollof and beef, my husband got the amala with stew/ewedu. She was very helpful and she even gave my daughter free puff puff! I can’t wait to return to this establishment and eat here again! :) ”
“ The food here is really good, I was hesitant to try this place because of the people who were complaining about portion size, but the portions were adequate. When I first went, what I wanted was not available, so we ordered jollof rice, egusi, and moi moi. Food was great. I went a second time to make sure it wasn't a fluke and for the catfish and spaghetti jollof (since they were not available last time) and puff puff. Again, everything was on point. Aunty cooks like she just got back from Nigeria last week. I will say for the spaghetti, I asked for beef and got chicken, which was annoying, but we still ate everything lol. The catfish takes about 2 hours for her to prep, so definitely call ahead to place your order. It doesn't come with veggies but she included some Nigerian salad style veggies on the side because I requested. And make sure your order is packaged well if you're getting to go. My spaghetti leaked in my trunk because she didn't close the container well. Honorable mention: The puff puff and moi moi, worth throwing in on the side! ”
“ 10/10 place. The Amala was freshly made and the wait time was not too long. Very large food portion, meat and other protein was soft enough, and the host was very friendly. Everything was very good vibes ”
“ During my recent visit to Kofoshi Nigerian Restaurant in Houston, I was thoroughly impressed by the authentic culinary experience. As a Nigerian, I can attest to the genuineness of the dishes, which transported me back to the flavors of home. The Jollof Rice was particularly outstanding, capturing the perfect blend of spices and rich tomato essence. I introduced a friend, unfamiliar with Nigerian cuisine, to this establishment, and we were both warmly welcomed. The staff’s attentiveness was remarkable; they checked on us throughout our meal to ensure our satisfaction and comfort. The portions were generous, offering more than we could finish, and the pricing was reasonable, reflecting excellent value for the quality and quantity provided. The ambiance was inviting, and the menu offered a diverse selection of traditional dishes. My friend had egusi soup for the first time and immediately fell in love. Overall, Kofoshi Nigerian Restaurant delivers an authentic and memorable dining experience. I highly recommend it to both Nigerians seeking a taste of home and to newcomers eager to explore the rich flavors of Nigerian cuisine. ”
“ Authentic, delicious Nigerian food. Meat pie dough was light, fresh, meat fillings was well spiced & delicious. Ogbono soup was delicious. I can't wait to go back. ”
“ I came here with my family and all of us were very satisfied with our food. The portions are very generous and the food is FRESH. My dad had the Ewa Agoyin and plantain and it was SUPERB! I had to get a serving to go. I'm very glad to have found this place and I hope they're in business for a long time. ”
“ Food was delicious! Good portion size. Ate there but had a take away ate the rest the next day. Owner is focused on getting straight to the kitchen to get the food out. On approach seems a bit abrupt but later she mentioned it’s because she doesn’t like customers to have to wait long. But a customer wouldn’t know that and might feel unwelcomed. So the first impression does matter. Owner checks in for satisfaction and then seemed to relax, engage and laugh. That part made us feel good about eating there too. The food was very tasty. 2 of us. Had okra, vegetable soup. ”
