Hidmona Cafe in Glasgow City

First time getting to Glasgow so had to experience an African restaurant and I was excited! Got to the place and first impressions it looks dated like old and manky, then the tables and chairs you would think they bought them off facebook market ! Anyway the guy serving on the bar was nice. I got the food boy was I disappointed! The sadza tasted like it was frozen before then got re heated and the meat and veggies was sloppy and tough! Bad first impressions! I would not be going back anytime soon

Went in, they ran out of halloumi sticks, as expected I feel to my knees right there and then, however this was quickly remediated by the offer of free ice cream. Incredible service. The ice kinda kills my vibe, trying to drink and all of a sudden my teeth are frozen, and i’m in extreme dental pain. The nando’s salt chips are crazy, let’s just say I am feining for more!! Not really got much else to say… *mic drops*

Dined in yesterday and had probably one of the worst food experiences to date eating in a restaurant. Ordered the jollof rice with beef and was seated at a table that appeared to have not been wiped down properly. It was a cold night and was really raining outside so was pretty soaked. The restaurant was stone cold with no heaters on to my dismay. Food arrived promptly but had noticed something off about the rice and quickly realised it was gone off. I then complained of the smell and the taste as it was sour and clearly gone bad to the host who proceeded to use a spare knife in front of me to taste the foul rice for himself. I was actually quite shocked by this as you can imagine. After realising I was in fact right he whisked my plate away to come back some minutes later with a fresh plate, and explained that it was a gone off ball of fresh pepper that was added to the rice not the batch itself. I find it very hard to believe anyone can cook with ‘fresh’ ingredients and not notice when they are spoilt and have never experienced anything like this. This second plate was without the spoilt taste , however was completely lacking in any flavour the rice just tasted of salt no seasoning or typical jollof flavour and the beef stew tasted like a gravy you would put on a cheap Sunday roast. Nothing Nigerian or authentic about the food here at all. I honestly would have refused to pay for the main however I had read a review of a woman below who had a another negative experience who was locked inside of the restaurant so paid my bill and have made a mental note to never come back. They should really close this place down.
