Famous Princess Kitchen: Reviews & Ratings
Amazing Nigerian food with huge portion, friendly staff with good music! It was good to be transported back to Nigeria for a night
The food is flavorful but PLEASE be ready to wait. The service is a little slow because side the cashier is also the waitress.
The food we ordered was good. Went on 4 different occasions. I ordered Efo Riro each time. My friend got Egusi, neither of us liked that. It tasted different to how I'm used too. Tried the village rice with ofada stew very good. Service is ok. Loved supporting a Black owned, African owned business. The ambiance was authentic In decor. Keep up the good work guise.
We had Egusi and the vegetable egusi with beef. So starting off, the parking is HORRIBLE!!! Prob best to order ahead and pick up. The lady at the front was nice. It was our first time, so we were asking for recommendations, which she didn't give but answered all the questions. I asked if it was spicy. She said no, but the vegetable one is. Not the original egusi. However, the food was flavorful and delicious. The beef, however, was super hard and unable to even chew, which is why I didn't give 5 stars. I'm not sure if it was overcooked or just old. Next time, I would try it with another meat. But I definitely would go back.
Food was made fresh and literally sizzling when it comes to your table. Portions were great as we ate and took home enough for another full meal. We ordered the efo riro with pounded yam and the Gbegiri soup with amala. It was amazing. The pounded yam is freshly pounded and not make from instant powder.I would highly recommend! Customer service was okay.
