Best WLM Reviews
Clearly the food was great that I was half way done before i remembered to review. Visiting from out of town and decided to try this. The Jollof was definitely a 10/10.
My friends and I were visiting from out of town when we ate here. We stopped by here on our way to SoFI stadium. The food was good. It was a nice atmosphere as well. It was quite busy when we were there. I'll definitely visit again when I'm in town.
I dined in for okoro soup and took egusi soup to go. Good portions, delicious, unique flavors but, the meat was too hard. I had fish and chicken and ate as much of it despite the texture because it was THAT GOOD! I haven’t had any West African food for a year and really needed the refreshing meal.
The restaurant is right near Randy’s Donut near a hotel. Seating included a view of their pool. The door was ajar keeping the room moderately lukewarm. The server brought my food to the table but I was actually supposed to come get it after ordering in the front. Thanks unfowetu!
Ok yes visited this place twice and the food was cool. Tho was far from my location I still love the fact that I got to like the ogbono soup, efo riro, tho the wounded yam is small they should review it o
Lovely place nice attendants .
Variety of food from soups to rice
Jollof rice and fried rice mix with vegetables and plantain was good
Los Angeles is getting costlier as time goes
Hands down my favorite Nigerian restaurant in Los Angeles County to San Diego County. I literally drive 2 hours just to eat here because it’s the only place that has everything that I enjoy eating, my only qualm is that I wish they had puff puff available whenever I come but the times I’ve come they never have it available.
Their suya is 4/5 - only because they don’t usually give enough suya seasoning but otherwise it’s great and it’s as authentic as you will get it in America compared to Suya University in Nigeria.
Their Amala, Ewedu & Gbegiri is 5/5 - my favorite item on the menue because it’s a specialized soup and rarely do Nigerian restaurants have it in because ewedu is “seasonal” ???? somehow Aduke manages to get her hands on it year round lol so I come here specifically for that.
Their Jollof Rice Platter 5/5 - it’s sooo good! Not bland AT ALL, they season it to perfection and it also has that slight Smokey taste naija party rice has, it gives lifeeee lol it’s a good start for someone who wants to try Nigerian food for the first time, the chicken is also seasoned to perfection and the plantains are soft and succulent, the spinach on the side is okay, it’s a nice touch to the rice plate.
Their catfish pepper soup 3/5 - it’s very herbal and spicy so if you don’t like spicy food - no try am, this is your warning because your nose and eyes will cry from the pepper lol - I just wish they seasoned this a bit more it was very fragrant and herbal but not really savory.
Sorrel Drink / Pineapple-Ginger Drink 5/5 - it taste like someone’s grandma who specializes in these drinks made them. Just Excellent!
Hands down I enjoy the food at Aduke’s and I always bring a friend and my family to come eat here whenever they’re in town.
I plan to eventually try some more of the items on the menu but omooo I enjoy Amala & Gbegiri so much I just end up always ordering it ????
Lastly their service is amazing the girl and guy in the front counter are so kind and respectful, even when some customers are rude to them they still maintain their composure and respect, they deserve a raise, especially after today I watched one entitled man just be rude to them, and I wanted to speak up so bad but apparently he knows the owner ???????? whatever he should still respect the service workers though.
That’s all folks.
Enjoy ✨
This is around 60 dollars of food the red stew barely had any goat meat and the container wasn’t shut correctly and the juice spilled onto my lap. The egusi was pretty salty and the fish was dry.
I've been holding off writing this review today, but its been a long time coming. The food is inconsistent. You would spend money on items and a lot of times, its bad. I was here once a women was losing her mind on the employees because of the things i mentioned. I had to calm her down.The guy that's usually cashier is rude. The summer time was madness! No a/c in 100+ degree weather. I almost called health department and osha.
Found this Nigerian restaurant in Los Angeles through in friend and usually get food from there when I’m craving Nigerian food and feeling too lazy to cook
I had Amala and Egusi soup with my protein of choice and I chose to have fish. I topped it up with a bottle of coke. I mean what goes better with the meal than coke ????.
Total cost was $52.8
The ambience is also okay. I guess they usually have a live band on weekends cos the set up (drums, microphone stand, the stage) matches a live band setup
