Best. Nigerian. Food. Ever, hands down! To all the people giving the lousy ratings, stop making it up, you know it’s good! The Jollof was the best i’ve had in forever, not soggy, not dry, just right! The goat was very tender, and the lady was very very nice. Highly recommend for those traveling around the Tampa area. It will be worth your while!
Best Nigerian food i have ever had. Made with love & great customer service.
Food was absolutely DIVINE, fresh, seasoned to perfection! I had to order some stew and white (not pictured) and it tasted like my mama made it! The owner is super friendly and her employees were attentive and sweet! Prepare to wait but trust me it is worth the wait! The food and ambience definitely filled my appetite of getting a small taste of Nigeria! Best Nigerian food in Tampa HANDS DOWN!
We came from Atlanta and it was worth the trips. If you need home meals, then TFK is where to be, our kids loved their food, we had jollof rice, fried rice, poundo and vegetables, gbegiri, ewedu and amala with assorted meat, chicken and fish. Every single food was a hit Thank you and we will be back
Found my new lunch spot!! I've been in Florida about 2 years now and would wait until I traveled to NY for the holidays to get nigerian food because there's not many good ones over here but this one hit home. I got egusi soup with the 2 beef and fish with poundo and it was so good I ate it in the parking lot didn't even make it home smh. Only thing is I wish it was spicier but I probably should've said that over the phone. For those saying that it is over priced for the serving you receive I believe it is enough for one person. As for the price everything has gone up because of covid especially the price of meat if you cook you would realize that and I would rather quality over quantity anyway. Its like this in ALL restaurants. Also some of these reviews on here/yelp are misleading nigeran food isn't for everyone's taste and it is disrespectful to insult our culture. Research before trying something you know you won't like. This business is awesome keep doing yall thing!
Pin this location asap. While visiting FL, I searched 'African Food' and this was the first option that appeared. I am glad we did! I recommend the gbegiri and amala. I also tried the Zobo drink, I loved the fresh drink - the hibiscus/ginger/pineapple blend I tried was very refreshing. When a chef loves what they do, it comes through in flavor.
I've visited Nigeria twice and loved the food. Came back to Tampa wanting more and I have eaten here a few times and each time has been a hit. I always forget to call my order in ahead of time, but waiting inside works too as long as I'm not in a rush. They usually have good music playing in the background while I wait. But if you are short on time, please make sure you call your order in ahead of time since everything is made fresh to order if I'm not mistaken. This pic of the yam porridge is the only one I have in my phone at the moment, must be time for another trip :-)
If you want the best Nigerian cuisine in Tampa, I highly recommend TFK African Food. The food was delicious! I got the coconut rice with 2 pieces of beef and fish, so so good. I had to take some home as the portion size was large. Customer service is amazing, the owner is so welcoming and energetic. The restaurant has a beautiful ambiance, good music and lovely decorations; feels like you’re in a Nollywood movie. It’s so good, my parents always stop by when in the Tampa area. Come and try it for yourself, you won’t regret it.
