Called to get egusi for the first time at this place. The person behind the phone was very rude, did not let us know when to go pick up the order or give us the amount it would be. Just literally hung up on us.
We ended up going and it's a dark kitchen for uber eats/doordash etc only. We had to call back and ask where to pick up our food. Turns out you need to place your order on an uber eats kiosk and pay there before you could pick up. If you thought you were going to save by calling the restaurant directly and picking up in person, you're wrong.
The food was okay, the egusi tasted very smoky (not mad about it, just never had egusi taste like this before). The meat was a little dry, but otherwise it was good. I dont think I will be back.
They have a very rude staff that takes their call, service at best is poor. You place an order before going there on the phone, that's if they take their call and it still takes anywhere between 30-45 mins to get a simple order out and then no apologies on that. I mean it's so ridiculous to have such service and expect to thrive in a competing environment. If you have to go out there, it's either you're not hungry or have anything better to do with you time, because they are going to screw your time up without any apologies.
My experience was nothing short of delightful. From order to pick up, the entire process was a breeze. This spot is a game-changer for those looking for budget friendly without compromising on flavor. I can't recommend Jollof Etcetera enough!
