“ This place has fantastic food. Very tasty and really generous portions. Highly recommend checking ot out. ”
“ Finally made it to Iyanze for Nigerian food! Haven't tried Nigerian food before? Go. If you're a fan of flavor and spice, go! Everything is good, but we especially loved the pounded yam --super fluffy --with all the stews and soups as well as the asun (spicy goat). Jollof rice, meat pies, and the plantains are musts-- but that's basically all the items we ordered. Everything was good and filling! The wait was kind of long-- but that's because we caught the establishment fulfilling walk in orders as well as catered orders. The staff was very hospitable and generous, even offering complimentary dishes for our party to try! Ordered: Meat Pies, Fried Plantains, Puff Puff, Jollof Rice, Beef Stew, Egusi Soup w/ Pounded Yam, Asun (Spicy Goat Meat), Pepper Soup ”
