For my first experience trying Nigerian food, Taste of Nigeria was amazing. The jollof rice paired with plantains, vegetables, and chicken was chef’s kiss. Esther was a delight—she took the time to explain the menu and help educate me on the different flavors. I never felt rushed and truly enjoyed exploring the variety of Nigerian cuisine. I’ll definitely be back again!

Good food and nice atmosphere, with a couple of drawbacks. ​I ordered the egusi soup with pounded yam, rice and stew, and beef meat pies. ​The Food: The egusi soup on its own was good, but the assorted meat had a burnt aftertaste. Unfortunately, the stew had that same burnt flavor as well. On a brighter note, the beef meat pies were DELICIOUS...easily some of the best I’ve had in a while! However, they felt overpriced at $6 each, especially compared to the usual $2.50–$3 range at other Nigerian spots in th3 West Houston area. ​Service & Atmosphere: The atmosphere was great, and they had the World Cup playing on the big screen while I waited. The young lady who helped me was soft-spoken but pleasant. I also really appreciated receiving a text notification as soon as my order was ready for pickup! ​Overall, decent food and good vibes, though a bit pricey for certain items.

Taste of Nigeria is one of those places where the food immediately reminds you of home, comfort, and real cooking. The flavors are bold without being overwhelming, and every dish tastes like it was made by someone who actually cares about getting it right. The jollof rice comes out with that deep, smoky tomato flavor and just the right amount of spice — not too hot, but enough to let you know it’s the real deal. The suya is another standout. It’s tender, well‑seasoned, and has that perfect balance of heat and nuttiness that makes you keep reaching for another piece even when you’re full. Their egusi soup is thick, rich, and packed with flavor. You can tell they use fresh ingredients because the taste is clean and satisfying, not heavy or oily. What makes the experience even better is how consistent the food is. Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch or sitting down for a full meal, the portions are generous and the seasoning is always on point. It’s the kind of place where you finish your plate and already know you’ll be back soon. Taste of Nigeria doesn’t try too hard — it just delivers good, honest Nigerian food that feels authentic and comforting. If you enjoy meals that are flavorful, hearty, and made with care, this restaurant is absolutely worth visiting.

Taste of Africa Houston was amazing! I ordered the noodles and beef, and they were full of flavor. The beef was tender, the noodles were perfectly seasoned, and the portion was generous. The food was fresh, the service was friendly, and the atmosphere was welcoming. I'll definitely be back to try more from the menu. Highly recommend!
