9ja Buka Restaurant

I’m really disappointed with my experience at 9ja Restaurant on Springfield Ave in Newark. The food was not as tasty as I expected, especially considering the reputation Nigerian food usually has for bold flavor. What bothered me the most, though, was the customer service. The staff were unfriendly and rude, and I was completely ignored when I greeted them. In the food business, basic courtesy should be standard. It immediately made the atmosphere uncomfortable. On top of that, the restaurant had an unpleasant smell and could really use better ventilation. Cleanliness and ambiance matter just as much as the food. Unfortunately, I won’t be returning.

Terrible food quality, terrible food presentation, everything looked dried and not taste. The native rice was just terrible. Hard. Not fresh. And red stew was flavor less.

Bland taste. Worst African food I ever tried in Newark. Ayamase sauce was not saucing. The rice was cold as hell. The customer service was very poor. DOH needs to come visit this place . Ayamase 0/100, rice 2/100 . Very poor

I just got my Uber eats order and was extremely excited. Then boom I eat my food and it taste horrible and old the only thing that tasted fresh was the pounded yam a 44 dollar order down the drain smh high priced trash. This is my first and last time eating here

Food is really great.Well made African and Nigerian dishes.I tried Ofada rice and the sauce and it was fantastic.Also got a takeout the jollof rice which is always amazing.Food can be pricey but its worth every penny.
