A wonderful woman answered the phone when I called the restaurant to apologize for ordering late. Without hesitation, she kindly agreed to make the food. I was so appreciative. I ordered through uber eats and the food was delicious. The fufu and soup were flavorful and I could feel that it was made with love and care. Thank you!

Me and my siblings came here because we had been wanting to try traditional African food. Comfort African cuisine did not disappoint, everything was flavorful and tasted amazing. Our server did an amazing job of describing everything and showing us how to eat the “traditional” way. Give it a try!

10/10. I’ll definitely be back! The egusi was great. It all tasted so good and I’m just happy I live so close. If I’m showing a friend around Chicago, this is going on my list of places to bring them. The staff is very friendly - this place is a hidden gem for sure. Ordered: Jollof rice with goat and white fish, egusi with fufu and goat and beef

I ordered Ubereats. Comforts is awesome! I tried efo riro. I usually get egushi. But both stews have this super unique, complex flavor that I cannot compare to anything else. The texture of fufu is also great and incomparable. The puff puffs are only 3 but they’re fried dough. Tasty but I’d try a meat pie or something next time. I didn’t see the atmosphere but delivery went smoothly. They were nice on the phone.

Awesome service and very friendly. The food was amazing. We ordered Jollof rice with goat meat and chicken, meat pie, pounded yam with efo riro and goat meat and it was delicious. Highly recommended.

This has quickly become our new favorite restaurant in the neighborhood. On our first visit, the server and owner patiently explained various Nigerian dishes they offer and shared great recommendations. The food was a hit - we have returned multiple times, each visit being equally satisfying. The pounded yam with Egusi soup was full of flavor and a standout. The cow skin, goat, and beef tripe were all delicious. We also tried the fish roll, beef pattie, and puff puffs, all flavorful and well-prepared. The server and owner are very friendly and always made us feel welcome. We’re looking forward to many more visits in the future.

What a wonderful addition to the neighborhood! Not many West African options in the area but the food is so tasty here and service very kind. Plus it’s a family owned business :) I recommend the jollof rice, moi moi, plantains and yams. All was very good though! Be prepared for the spice

I rarely give reviews but being my first time in Chicago, especially given that some Nigerian restaurants don’t cook well enough, I am blown by the service and food quality of this place. We ordered suya, moinmoin, jollof rice, pepper soup and ayamase and I will say, they all taste too good, well cooked and I’m smitten! Thank you for making our night memorable with your quality food and cooking skills! I will surely be back whenever I return to this beautiful city. Did I add that our order was placed within an hour of closing today and we still got hot and fresh meals served as take out?!!. I am impressed!
