Got food from a place in Brooklyn called Festac, all the way down Atlantic avenue (believe it’s in near linden wood). And the food is fairly solid. May have found a solid Nigerian spot
Got the jollof, red stew and meat, and suya. Suya wasn’t the outside cooked suya, but the flavor and meat were good. And they gave me a lot. Better than buka who plays a lot of tricks with their suya beef (one time gave me a slab of undercooked flank steak).
The jollof is classic Nigerian jollof. One stage below my moms jollof lol. But it was freaking good. And a lot. A whole lot. Very flavorful. Not dry at all but not wet and sloppy (for all my jollof heads). Very surprised a place in nyc could do jollof decently that wasn’t dry or tasteless (buka…).
Red stew was solid. I prefer my psychotically spicy but this is not their fault. Just take a few scotch bonnets and put them in the sauce. But the sauce is pretty damn good. Probably a little too much oil. The meat/ beef is good too.
If you are in bk and near the bk/queens line or near east New York or Brownsville, would tell you to check out the place. It’s a little off the path most people take when traveling from manhattan into bk, but if you are in the area, try it out.
