This food is amazing, hot, and fresh. The portion sizes I have received are always good too. For me, the food is worth every penny. I’ve had West African food from many cities and this is my favorite spot.

Food was very decent!!! Tastes exactly like something I’d make for myself at home, hence why I enjoyed it for lunch at work. I ordered carryout from DoorDash. I feel like portion sizes are smaller for the price you pay. I ordered jollof rice one small plate at $11.99, jerk chicken (2 drumsticks) $9.99 and I ordered Indomie noodles for around $12 came with protein. Overall, good food, and I might order again whenever i just want homemade type food for lunch at work.

Jerk chicken was a huge disappointment two little chicken legs and a pile of not fresh rice for 20$ But also had ayamase which was excellent! And yes they where little compared to what it was supposed to be which is leg quarters they are missing half the piece of chicken

My very first taste of Nigerian flavors…. I’m so sorry….I cannot explain WHY I DIDN’T DO THIS SOONER! My very first experience was egusi with goat meat and fufu. Your kind service was the start for me. Then I tasted each item by itself before dipping the fufu. Wonderful flavor and the spiciness wasn’t too much. Very nice. I will now return again to try something new. The meat was very good! First time for goat meat as well. Thank you, for this visit I’ll recommend your menu for those who want to try!

I love the atmosphere. It is very neat. Doesn’t smell like other Nigerian restaurants. Tayo, a guy that works there was so kind and served us very well. Their Asun is so goood! The poundo and efo is everything as well.

My man, daughter, and I went here for the first time today. Very disappointed as all the chicken was old hard and unseasoned. The potato yam was nice. Rice too spicy and my chicken was so chewy it felt like it had been cooked a week ago. Stew was just alright nothing special. Made me feel like none of our meals were fresh. $69 wasted on jollof chicken and efu x egusi stew.

I had rice and fried fish stew and it was amazing. The food was made to my specification. The host went over and beyond to make sure that I and my group were taken care of and even gave us some finger food on the house. I’ll definitely recommend.

I had an amazing experience here. The African food served here is definitely the best I have tried since I moved to the United States and having stayed in over 8 different states.

The Jollof Buka continues to satisfy my taste buds. This place has been a favorite since they opened in May. One of my first meals after returning home from a deployment and I enjoyed every bite…the perfect welcome home meal. The Owner is very personable and welcoming. They go out of their way to make sure you leave a happy customer. Other places don’t compare. Hands down the best African food I’ve had since I moved to Indianapolis. You won’t be disappointed. The Meals are always prepared fresh. You have to experience it for yourself. Not a lot of places have great customer service AND food. I ordered a pan of the Nigerian Jollof to get me through my hectic work week and it was AMAZING! You just have to experience it for yourself!

This was my first time experiencing African cuisine and it was so good – best rice and plantains I’ve ever tasted. Not only was the food fresh and delicious, but I could tell the owners really care that their customers feel welcome. Overall, a wonderful experience and I’ll definitely be back.
