I ordered food to be delivered and paid but it never showed up. I phoned and phoned but nobody was answering. The next day, I finally got through to them and they said they were too busy to send my order the day before and asked if I wanted it then. I said no it's too late! They offered to refund the money but they never did. I keep chasing them but they never answer the phone and they ignore my emails. Don't waste your time or money. Untrustworthy.

Pedí comida para la entrega y se llevaron mi dinero, pero nunca entregaron la comida. Después de llamar y llamar en vano, finalmente me llamaron al día siguiente y dijeron que estaban demasiado ocupados para cumplir con mi pedido el día anterior. Me preguntaron si todavía quería la comida, pero dije que no, que me devolverían el dinero, pero nunca lo hicieron. No puedo hacer que todos contesten el teléfono e ignoran mis correos electrónicos. ¡No confíes en esta gente!

As a Nigerian, I’m so disappointed to have to write this review. The food is good, but never in my life have I had such poor service. Currently I’m sitting still waiting OVER AN HOUR from when my order was supposed to arrive AT THE LATEST. I’ve tried to contact the restaurant through the app & even googled their number. Nothing. Even a common courtesy call to explain or offer me a refund. Nothing. The last time I called as well because my order was late, the staff were rude and apathetic. Shame.

The worst food lv ever ordered! THE WORST reasurant ever! l ordered okra, and instead received gravy/soup with 2 pieces of beef and a 'pinch' of something that looked green which is supposesdly to be okra, see photo. l could have cried and l was in disbeleif og how dishonest Agrotopia is! . l think it should be illegal to rob people of their hard earned money like this. If you dont have the food items just say so than send someone somethinh that they didnt order and thats not edible! The efo was a portion for a 5 year old and had sand/dirt in it. l hadnt ordered here for a few years as their food has been okay but never again. Order here at your risk or even better just toss your money in the bin. l wish l could give it a ZEROOO

The beef stew was more like half a container of thick tomato soup, with 4 pieces of really dry, tough and over cooked beef. Doesn't taste like the beef was cooked in the 'soup' but added as an after thought according to orders making it extra dry and really tough! The size and contents were not worth the price. Would not recommend!!

To be honest, I wasn’t sure if this place was open for business or not! I came in, sat down for 30 minutes and then left. In that time there was a couple who were waiting for a takeaway order and another couple sat in the table in front of me. For 30 whole minutes there was no sign of life from the restaurant. No one took any orders, no one came out to give me a menu, nothing! The restaurant itself is located in the grubbiest part of town sandwiched among other grubby eateries and nothing enticing about it. Shame, as this being the only Nigerian restaurant for miles, they should be totally capitalising on the monopoly. I wish the owners good luck in this venture but I won’t be returning.

I thought giving this restaurant a second chance will improve my ratings. This is the worst Africa restaurant. They cook rice and stored in the freezer and just warm up for customers. The chicken was spoilt and you could see the smell from a far. I was served food with no cutlery and serviettes. The food qas so bad, you cannot taste it. The food hygiene I reckon would be appalling. They reied to force me to buy chinchin because buns was not available. What's the point t of giving meat from stew when you clearly requested fried rice. Very poor restaurant.

Very authentic and fresh tasting west african food. Very good value for money compared to many restaurants we've been too/ ordered from. I can definitely recommend the chicken Jollof, efo (spicey spinach in tomato stew sauce) and the plantain. Restaurants like this can help west African food become a more mainstream cuisine!

Have been trying to support local African businesses within my community for a while now but 7/10 times I’ve ordered from this restaurant, I’ve been left with disappointment. If you want to guarantee that your food will be late, uneven portion ration, inconsistent communication + bad customer service...this place will surely give you that. So today I placed my order at 4:00pm which is when their delivery service supposedly starts on the website meaning my order would likely have been one of the first ones received. After 1.5 hours I kept having to call the restaurant to check on my order as I had to leave for work shortly. The waitress who took the call informed me she would call me back in “2 minutes” for update from driver. 25 minutes later I yet again had to call them back because the waitress didn’t even have the courtesy to keep me updated. Anyway the only thing she could tell me was “the driver is on the way” but couldn’t tell me how far away he might be, which wasn’t helpful at all. 2.5 hours later the driver called me telling me he’s outside, by which point I had already left for work. He then tried to get emotional sympathy from me with a bogus story about the original driver who had been assigned for the trip having been taken to A&E blah blah blah. I say this because this is not the first time I’ve had this type of experience with this restaurant and have been given poor excuses, at times they are even so rude and give you attitude as if you’re not the one paying to help keep their business afloat! The food is averagely edible (though their stingy meat portions could improve). The main thing that lets them down is the poor service though. Another disappointed customer, yet again. Doesn’t seem like they take pride in their reputation at all if you look at recent similar reviews. From the few African restaurants in Southampton, this sadly isn’t one of the good ones.

I ordered a takeaway at the very end of the UK's third pandemic lockdown (May 2021) and the food was spotlessly clean, well presented (if simple), piping hot and tasted really good. I would urge some caution with the menu since it is very obviously southern Nigerian (at a push "West African") which is quite distinct from many other parts of Africa (for example Ethiopian, Angolan, Kenyan cuisine - to name a few). My only minor issues were that the Jollof rice was a little over-cooked. The service is well intentioned too - as in within a couple of minutes of my placing my order (via just-eat website) and the chef phoned me up to inform me one of side dishes i had ordered was not available. All in all it was a really interesting experience with a very different (Nigerian/West African) cuisine - with different flavours and tastes, if simple. The dough balls were really good as was the fufu and pounded-cassava

I was recommended this place by a friend… I would start of by saying the staff was great the young lady that served us was bubbly and in good spirits. The overall feel is that it needs a good clean tables was sticky, chips on the seat when we was seated and the mirrors was dirty. We was offered water for the table and it come out wam 🤨. We both ordered their Sunday rib platter Which only one was available, so I settled for the rib and brisket combo. The brisket come out cold and the ribs were next to nothing more than bone… I really want to comment about this as it’s was £26 and the size was appalling but The girl that was serving us was also dealing with the table opposition us with a complaint regarding the chicken wings. I was very disappointed with our overall experience especially seeing the photos and previous reviews. We had a table booked, which was no problem. But this place needs some love put back in! I was so excited but also so disappointed by the end of my visit. Will not be going back. If I was American, I would be disappointed! I feel the kitchen have so much to take responsibility for this bad experience!
