Great food! Loved the fufu with the egusi and beef. Ordered a side of plantain and also had the Jollof rice with curry chicken and plantain. The atmosphere was quiet, aside from the history of Spain documentary playing in the background. The service was a bit slow, but I think that was just due to the low amount of staff. The prices were also quite high, and when we requested water, we were brought a bottled water ($2) rather than a glass of water (free). Other than that, it was great and felt like elevated home cooking - which is always a great thing!
We were originally going to go to another restaurant this Saturday over the Easter long weekend, but it was closed. As Koultures was opened, we thought we would give it a try. The service was slow and not as good as I would expect from a "fine dining" restaurant (as advertised on their sign). The food however was delicious and authentic. I would definitely go back.
Goat meat was tough and flavourless, the enormous pile of hard and dry jollof tasted scorched and the plantain bland and not sweet at all. And they started blaring church music which we had to ask to turn it down. Just terrible.
Please do not waste your money to go dine or order from this restaurant. The Nigerian food are made by Ethiopians who do not even know how to cook west African cuisines or Nigerian food for that matter. I ordered a jollof rice on Uber eats and the rice came dry and tasteless. The former owners of this restaurant use to be Nigerians and their food use to taste good back then but since these recent Ethiopian owners have taken over now, the Nigerian food tastes like garbage. They charge ppl a lot of money for this type of garbage they call food when it doesn’t even taste good. This is not how a Nigerian jollof rice taste like. Please stick to cooking Ethiopian foods or hire an actual west African who knows how to cook Nigerian food and stop serving us this garbage you call a jollof rice when it tastes nothing like the real jollof rice.
Food was amazing, atmosphere was chill, and workers were so helpful and kind. Great overall experience would definitely recommend and will be coming back!
