DO NOT EAT HERE! The price is beyond ridiculous for the quality and quantity - and not only that, but they don’t have any prices visible and had us eat before paying! We spent close to $120 for a dinner for 3, I’ve done the math from what’s posted on the website and we overpaid easily by 20-30%. If you want better priced and much better quality Nigerian food go to Jolly Jolly

Very flavorful! Goat meat pepper soup had the most tender pieces of meat I’ve ever had. Omg. Also if you like spicy 🌶 this is the item for you. If you feel sick it will drain you. You’ll probably lose water weight from all the sweating you’ll do from eating this. It’s spicy spicy but still tasty so it’s hard to stop eating it though you’re struggling through it. lol Meat pie had a nice even crust. Well stuffed and even crust to meat ratio. The Jollof with goat meat and plantain was good. Great flavor, soft ripe plantain and again the goat meat was soft and easy to chew which is always a plus! Overall recommend

Their chicken is super dry and tastes old. The efo riro was good with the fufu but oily. The overall food was pricey for what they offer. It was like a buffet setup with no name tags and prices on each dish. The staff seemed very overwhelmed too.

After discovering my ancestry through 23& me I wanted to experience the West African food culture. I googled a few places and the family chose Ruth's Buka When we walked in it was very welcoming and the music gave the dopest vibe.The young lady behind the counter was very beautiful and patient with us as we decided on what we wanted the food was attractive to the eye and nose lol and the prices are very affordable we got a lot for the price I also liked how they accommodated us after we decided to get the food to go Omg the Egusi soup is errrrthing I swear ❤️❤️I wish the space was a little bigger so families large like mine can enjoy our food at a round table I'd love to see this place expand I will mos def be back to try more dishes from this place ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I drove from Pittsburg to this place. First, there is NO parking space. We were asked to clean up after ourselves if we must dine-in. Served small soup, I asked for more and they said it's $5 extra, yet only a spoon of egusi. I paid $125+ for myself and gf to get sufficient food. That's outrageous. I'm sure not returning here.

They are seriously getting worse, is it a crime to come to your restaurant ?! They are so ruuuuuuude, it’s like they are doing you a favor to take your order. I literally saw one of the daughters putting her foot on the table once. It’s a shame, but I don’t blame them, I am the one that carried myself there. Never again. And look what I paid $20 💁🏾‍♀️💁🏾‍♀️💁🏾‍♀️
