I love this place. I am thinking about going there anyone in the highway 6 area. They are not called the fish house for nothing. The grilled fish is amazing and comes with a personal side of plantains. Alright the plantains can be a sometimes in the harder sides depending on the time of day you go, the fish never disappoints. The vibe is lowkey, inside of a plaza but I usually take home, bc I can't eat it cute lol but the service is quick especially if doing a callin/pickup. Oh yes and the suya is very good, I love getting extra onions. Best thing, they are open till around midnight
African food I came to the food here it was absolutely amazing! I actually like how they put the spice on the side for those who may be sensitive to spicy food, which is not me, but good for those who want other people to try before they apply their spices. The service was also really nice. They were prompt, knowledgeable,and able to answer all questions. The ambience was fine as well. It was on a Sunday afternoon, with my mother and her friend, and it was very spacious. This was my second time coming here, and I would definitely come back. I ordered the Galveston tilapia, the $15 size, and it was more than enough, but I did finish it lol it came with plantain that was well fried, and I decided to get a side of Spinach again, and it was also also very big lol the portion sizes are awesome, and definitely worth a price.
The food was the best and I am very pleased to have been taken to the restaurant. The environment was pleasant and relaxing and made me feel like I was back in Nigeria. The wait for the food was worth it since the food tasted so refreshing.
When I am craving grilled fish, this is the place I go. The tilapia is flavored well and the dipping sauce is spicy the way I like it. The service is slow, but that's because it is made fresh.
Best African food I've had in my lifetime... definitely will be returning with some friends
