I will drive to this place for real, authentic Nigerian food. I love the okra soup w/tripe. Outstanding customer service,great environment w/music!!! Food is fresh, hot, and ALWAYS DELICIOUS. It feels like you're in Nigeria!!!
I have been wanting to try some good authentic African food. It did not disappoint! The owner was helpful and the food was delicious. Our family had many laughs and a great time. Will be coming back!
I have been patronizing T’s buka for over 3 years. This is my ultimate spot for authentic African cuisine. I’m especially hooked on their smokey Jollof rice, Egusi soup, and Efo. And don’t even get me started on their stew… absolutely next level. Highly recommend!
