I only tried their cassava leaves. Amazing taste but poor portion. 20$ you get a tiny bowl. The bowl looks wide from the top view. it is small in height. it may be filled with small sauce. By the time they add the big piece of chicken there is not that much stew tbh. It comes with rice ( the rice is more than the stew can serve). Those plantains are worth 7$. The chicken also tasted great
Yummy delicious vegetable soup with assorted meats n intestines couple with poundo yam(pounded yam) ????????????????????????????????????????. Definitely my buddies and I will return to eat there again! Thanks Aunty!!
Went for dinner recently with my partner and a couple of our friends. We were the only patrons there the entire time, but a handful of delivery drivers had come in to pick up orders. It has a 'hole in the wall' type vibe, with friendly staff and afrobeats playing in the background. It was unfortunately quite cold inside, the a/c was on. Three of us ordered jollof rice with beef, which also came with fried plantains, a boiled egg and some coleslaw. The fourth person ordered goat curry with rice. Akira was on the menu but not available, which was disappointing. Our food was delicious but unfortunately had no spiciness to it. We did ask for and was given some hot sauce, which was home made. But, it moreso added a different flavour to the dish rather than spiciness. The food can definitely be enjoyed without making it spicy. The beef was a bit over cooked but still tasty. They do have the original Fanta, but it's in a small glass bottle for $5, which is far too expensive. At the end of the meal, there was no bill provided, the server hand wrote on a little scrap piece of paper a final total and gave to us. We all thought that was kind of odd, but they were able to accept payment by card. Our server was very nice. The food was served hot and in a timely manner. That being said, I don't think I'd go back for a sit down experience but I'd definitely order for take out or delivery.
Atiga was an experience. Not necessarily a good one, but certainly an interesting one. From the Paw Patrol table mats to the AC that was randomly on on a cool September evening, to the way none of the four menus that our group received were the same (and possibly didn't include all of the same items), to how we were the only patrons in a 2hr window. But you're there for the food, and the food was pretty good. Not as spicy as I like it, but tasty nonetheless. While we were there, there was a steady stream of food delivery guys, so they certainly appeared to be doing good business via one of the food delivery apps. The portions are also huge, but while it's good I think think I would rather go to Akin's. The food IS good, but it's not the only thing about going out, and Atiga's sole strength seems to be only the food. I haven't even talked about the quality of the service, or how there was no itemised bill. Nevermind all that, the building itself needs at least a lick of paint if only to brighten it up and make it more welcoming.
