“ There are not too many places that serve Suya in the area and this was great! Everything was beyond expectations and was delicious . The jollof is not what I’m use to but I can see why they were shy on the seasonings given the clientele. The red snapper was perfect! Everything was well balanced overall. Looking forward to coming back! Customer service was also a plus! ”
“ Had the snapper. Amazing! Not over salted at all. The tomato paste with rice was delicious. It takes a little time to prepare so don’t order if in a rush but worth it. Well done gentlemen. Will keep you in mind when in town. ”
“ By far best fried red snapper I’ve ever had. Seasoning perfect rice was great and the veggie patty was good as well. Snapper has a lot of meat and was even good warmed up the next day. Big thanks the cook that fried snapper is perfection. ”
“ I definitely will go back to try more dishes! I had potatoes lyonnaise on the left and a meat pie (with beef) on the right! Both were tasty. The service is friendly. I like the look of the place as well. ”
“ We came in from out of town for the basketball game and everywhere else had a 45 min. We walked in on a Friday night and got seated immediately. Started off with 2 lemon drop drinks and then we had our food! Hands down the best outside food we had in a loooong time! Hubby is Nigerian so he was right at home. I was a little hesitant about ordering but I am glad I did! It was delicious and I highly recommend! Will not be disappointed ”
“ I thoroughly enjoyed my food at Primo's. I got the lamb stew, red snapper and egusi soup. Everything was tender and tasty. The tomatoes and onions on the red snapper are divine. The fufu was good...this food needs no hype. I will definitely be back again and again. ”
“ This is a nice establishment to visit. The shrimp pasta was delicious and the service was great. I went around 5pm on a Friday so it was still Happy Hour, they have a good selection of available items at a reasonable price. ”
“ Nice, low key atmosphere. Tucked out of the way but easy to find. Great tasting authentic food & pleasant attitudes all around! Definitely worth the experience when your tired of the same old burgers & fries! ”
