Taste is amazingThey put Care into the foodHigh quality west African food-foodie
Pound for pound the best Nigerian food youll get anywhere in the city. I come here time and time again because they never miss.
I ordered pounded yam with Egusi soup I was so impressed with the soup.it was well prepared and very tasty and enough portion of soup.i would recommend Hills kitchen for tasty and well prepared African dishes.
My first thought? My mother would have competition. This food was incredible. Food came in large portions and was cooked for the gods themselves. Absolutely delicious. Took me by surprise. Very grateful. Well done!
We ordered take-out, it was so good! Very tasty african food, pretty spicy though - if you dont like it hot, this place is maybe not for you. Even still, I recommend anyone to give it a try, simply because it was so damn tasty! Will order again, loved the jollof rice.
Pretty good. Definitely cross-contaminated, and I feel one of their basic seasonings has gluten, but if that’s nbd for you then by all means go for it. Staff is nice. Food was well-packed.
I ordered from here for the first time yesterday & I’m about to place another order right now ! Lol. This is THE BEST African food I’ve had & I’ve tried multiple places. It taste fresh , flavorful , the right amount of spice , good portion size for the price. I love this place !!! Thank you Hills Kitchen. You’re the bomb !
Not the best Jollof I ever had. It is very spicy otherwise i taste the tomato paste. I asked that the fish be put to the side but it came in the same dish as the rice. I dont like gravy on my rice and im just glad it wasnt all over. I probably wont be ordering again but the food wasnt horrible.
Ordered jollof rice, wasnt so good and the meat was hard.
Jollof rice was good however the turkey portion was very small and kind of expensive
I ordered take out recently and I really enjoyed the meal. It was deliciously cooked and well packed. I will definitely order from them again and again. Most tasty African restaurant in the neighborhood hands down.
My son took me here. He was so full of praise for this restaurant because he always ordered through UberEat. It wasnt disappointing at all. The server, Promise, was very friendly and knowledgeable in what she does. I ordered Afang soup with pounded yam, Calabar style, it tasted just like my mama used to make in Calabar. The food was so good that I ordered 2 Egusi and jollof rice to go for my wife and children at home. They are very pleasant to deal with, I wasnt surprised to see lots of American whites eating in there because thats the place to eat real Nigerian food. Go there and you too will be convinced.
Soup with goat meat turned to soup with bones . And they charge extra for me to eat bones
I found this gem and have not stopped coming! Theyre food is flavor-filled, bot many restaurants I can say that about. The spinach with the fish, excellent. Love, love, love, the jollof rice. I would recommend this place to any and all. But, dont take my word, I would suggest you simply give it try, you will not regret it!
Forgot food in my order then laughs and tries to be friends when u call to see Wht happened without offering any apology or effort to fix the problem. Scatter brain lady who answers will make jokes say order something else n we will send Wht was missed. The meat is hard and overly spiced where u can’t enjoy any other flavor. They claimed I had ordered the day before which I had never even had african food till now, I won’t be doing that again. Tasted like future diarrhea had to throw it out after try out bites. Only giving it a star so I can write this review. Disgusting all around.
This is the newest Nigerian Restaurant in the NYC area.I must say they are off to a great start!The restaurant was very clean nice and cozy (very good for dine in).They offer take home options also.The staff were very friendly, attentive and swift. (For a Nigerian restaurant the service was super quick).NOW THE FOOD: AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!they offer a vast variety of Nigerian cuisines especially the exotic soups and stews.I was very impressed with the food and the size portions were very decent (I couldnt finish my meal).Overall, Ill highly recommend anyone looking for good Nigerian food in the NYC area to visit!
Excellent customer service. Food is normally prepared swiftly and delivered promptly. Ive become a repeat customer for their authentic Nigerian beans. Today they went out of their way to fix an issue I had with an order and I really appreciate the service and efforts made to rectify it. I recommended them to my friend who has fallen in love with their beans too!
Received the goat pepper soup for hangover cure. I am reborn with new strength
Firstly I ordered based on the amazing reviews everywhere.The moin moin was soggy and just bland. I threw that out.The buka stew was just not nice.The goat pepper soup was ayt, so was the afang even though it wasnt authentic afang made more so in an efo riro style/ vegetable and stew on the side type. I have never known afang to be made with stew or eaten with stew on the side.Pretty much my whole order was a waste and I was still hungry after it all.
I ordered an egusi soup.. and it was spoiled!! The smell was out this world when I open the food! I already knew when I taste it,it was going to taste exactly how it smelled. and it did!! I let others taste it to see if it was just me and it wasnt!! like as if they had it sitting there for days..
Great service and food. Really enjoyed it
The Staff was extremely nice, ( and Handsome 😏)It was my first time there, I asked for recommendations & they guided me through what’s best on the menu! Also, who can’t resist a meat pie!? Food was very good, I made it into 2 meals because it’s so filling! I will be back, Definitely recommend!
Please don’t order from this restaurant their food is trash. The whole food was just full of salt and test less. I should have given it a 0 star if google allows that. Not worth the money
Food is delicious and flavorful!! Yes, spicy , but it’s good spicy lolThe Jollof Rice is so goodI’ll be coming back for more. , thank you 😊✨
I went here with my sister for African food and it was AMAZING! It reminded us of home, their staff is super nice and they are very clean. the gentleman who served us was super friendly! We even asked to see the lady who cooked it coz WOW! We defenetly recommend it. It defenetly felt like home away from home.
This was a stellar experience! And the food was very much akin to tradition. Can’t recommend it enough
Thank you to jadziaSweet, patient and taught me more about the food. Im coming back for sure. Food on point but her service made it worth it. Ty jadzia
Very happy we learned about this fabulous restaurant that looks right onto a park. By chance, we arrived on the opening day and everything seemed to be working well.There are a number of menu choices, but our charming server, Favor, helped us pick the jollof rice with beef and plantains. We ordered it with a little extra spice and the heat was just right.Looking forward to our next visit to try some of the other choices. Nice addition to the neighborhood!
The food was absolutely delicious, service was attentive and swift. Everything we ate, we all had different fufu with stew (no jollof rice), tasted fresh. If you like your food spicy make sure to tell them so they can increase the heat.When we were there we were the only customers, but they didnt hover.All in all I would go back anytime.
Very warm and cozy ambience, friendly staff with excellent customer service. The food is value for money, well portioned for pricing which Is very affordable considering the very Original Nigerian cuisines served. Very great for that birthday party and or group hangout.
CoZy spot with overly nice staff which its hard to find this days. I ordered egusi with beef, came fast to my table, good proportions of food with great taste. For the money and attention i loved the experience of trying something different to my regular diet.
Fish pepper soup and jollof ..mad!🙏🏾💜Update: been back here probably more than a dozen times in the last 4 months, since my first visit. Food is still amazing!Jollof, moi moi, plaintain always the best picked it seems, fried rice, zobo.. all mad!And they should definitely charge more!🤤And promise is an angel! Love going to say hi
Great kitchen....Made me to be at home while am visiting new York. Now I dont need to worry about my African delicacies since Hills kitchen is around. You need to have the experience of the real jollof rice. Still smiling.
Sooooooooooooo good. 😍 10/10! & its a hefty amount of food. i was concerned it wouldnt be, but naw the amount for the price is perfect. imma be eating good all week!
I had gone to a previous restaurant and had a very bad experience and just searched and found this , I decided to try it out. Ordered Afang soup and pounded yam. OMG!!! It’s like someone took me back home. Very tasty, it’s going to be my go to place from now on.
Ordered the white rice with steak stew via Seamless. Good flavor and rice was fine, but the steak was dry and very tough. Very oily, too. Called it quits after 3 bites.
The food is immaculate. So delicious and the service is always amazing. Best authentic African cuisine in Brooklyn.
Nasty food, no favor, the food was super spicy and cold. Taste like it was microwaved so not fresh cooked food. Expensive fo no reason. I dont recommend this place at all save ur money.
Nice and clean restaurant. Reasonable prices, with good customer service. Actually, one of the best West African restaurants in the center of Brooklyn - New York City. I really do enjoyed the food from here in my two days stay in NY. 👌👌👌
Uuff, the yollof rice with stock fish is delicious. I went there for the first time after the pandemic and Ive been eating there ever since. Five stars for sure.
Great food, and excellent customer service. Their Jollof rice and chicken is one of my new found favorites 👍🏾👍🏾
Delicious food. You can taste the care and quality of ingredients that go into the preparation of your meal. Can’t wait to try more things from the menu.
I loved the food and and service. The woman who served me and my partner gave me that west African woman look that they give to those of us born 400 years away from Africa ... you know the look ... that we should know... and we should!!! The food is strangely familiar and wonderfully new like the first time you heard Fela Kuti. She even sat a water bowl next to me and said you know what to do with this. There was no question in her voice...I hand to eat with my hand - the right hand of course!! I had the white soup with pounded yam and my Dominican partner had jolof rice with beef and plantains ( of course!!! --- Dominicans are undercover Africans ). That night I dreamed of the food - really. I did. But be careful it can be spicy in a way that is different than Mexican hot.. Like Felas music you need to give your body time to catch up with you soul. FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT visit before you order online and ask for a suggestion. Remember almost all the dishes have cured fish in it . its an essential spice like fish sauce in Thai food. Finally -The West African approach to beef is different from European and Asian cuisine. Its served with more texture ( some might call it tough) and very well done. Again like Felas music you need to give your body time to catch your soul.
They don’t keep to their deal. When they say buy one get one free, you buy one and they don’t give the other one.I have had at least 3 issues with my orders. Would not be patronizing them again.
Definitely a dope spot you should give a try!! The people here are nice and friendly and very informative if you are not sure what to get. I 100% recommend the trying there version of fufu it’s amazing! You see me back there more often!
I visited Hills Kitchen with a friend visiting from out of town. It was a quiet weekend afternoon. The proprietors/managers Promise and Hillary (the really athletic bloke) were exceptionally friendly.The food arrived right on time, and Hillary was happy to answer all questions about his spot. After handling the Egusi in house, me and my friend decided we had to each order a buncb of side dishes to go. The Egusi, pepper soup and Ukazi wherre on point.
Jollof rice with fish, plantains, and a side of spinach. Very spicey and yummy! Lives up to the NYT review. Hillary was a very nice host!!
Great restaurant and ambiance. The chef and staff are very friendly and the food is AMAZING. Very flavorful and authentic West African dishes. I highly recommend this place.
I ordered egusi and pounded yam. It was very tasty. The tripes though 😍😍😍Portion is good if you’re really hungry. Got knocked out after eating. Highly recommended
They have the best jollof rice in all of Brooklyn. I have tried so many African restaurants here and theirs have that authentic taste of home with real Nigerian spices 😋😋!
DO NOT! not go too this place I found roach in my food ! And the staff and the cook are nasty they dont wash there hands when they cook foood they grab everything with there bare hands
I live on the block and eat here all the time. When the jalloof is fresh, its hard to beat.The fish pepper soup is a revelation.
Hills kitchen is very cozy, welcoming and feels just like home. Jollof rice was super. I enjoyed every bit of it. Staff very pleasant and restaurant clean.
The best Nigerian restaurant in Brooklyn. If you’re ever in the area you have to stop by and indulge. Server was very nice and prompt. Food came out great.
Im really upset...There should be no reason why as to why theres a bug in my pound yam 🙄 I called and the woman I spoke to told me the next time I order shell give me 2 free pound yam...what...I want my money back yet she said I cant..this is so unfair😔
Got the beans and plantain. My friends got the jollof. Yummy 😋
Jesus Christ the food here is so radiant, flavorful, and authentic! I just moved to the neighborhood and this is definitely my favorite spot. Thank you!
Love this spot! Great food and great service. Highly recommend the jollof rice with chicken. Also the fried plantains are delicious.
Disgusting ! They cook there food with no gloves and touch your food its disgusting and when I said something the cook had an attitude.
Delicious! Chicken with jollof rice and plantain was excellent. Staff was very kind and helpful.
I ordered the joloff rice with goat. Superb. “Wow... that was great” sighed my boyfriend a little while after eating. Swift, generous proportions.
The best place on earth. First time having African and I’m literally in love and I’m full lol and I have lunch for tomorrow bc the portion is so big lol. Totally worth it in every way. I can’t wait to tell all my friends in the area
Im an African....So i understand how our food tastes like,Im really into Hills kitchen food,Its amazing experience everytime ,Thanks yall for given us home away from Africa.

Review №1
2021-11-24The meat pie was very filling. I found the prices of drinks to be expensive. The food was good and the hostess was kind and friendly.The space is pretty small and can seat about 10 people. It gets pretty crowded when people are coming to order for pick up. So I will say it is not an ideal sit in to dine in place. I will recommend order out. The food prices are reasonable. I did not particularly enjoy the goat pepper soup as the meat was small chunks. The Rufus tasted good and the portion was great.
Review №2
2022-05-23So basically, $17 For mostly rice and and a little bit of meat because there was more fat than meat BUT the rice was amazing, the flavors were great!!.....Service was terrible. After waiting so long to get napkins and a $2.50 can of soda, the lady was touching the screen with food on her hands and no gloves. Then I thought about it we basically finished majority of the food...Not meant for dining in

2022-07-26If you value your appetite and your money don’t even bother ordering from here. I waited over two hours for my food to be delivered and upon delivery my coleslaw was HOT because it was packed with hot food and my amala was WET sweaty and undercooked, I couldn’t even save it by putting it back on the stove or in the microwave. I called to let them know and they didn’t even seem to care, save yourself the headache.

2022-05-01Super small portion for soup only. Everything about this store is just small portions. THE GREEN PLACE is the best Nigerian restaurant in Brooklyn, and they give you 3 times the amount with better flavors
Review №5
2022-04-07Chicken was old and dry, as were the plantains. Jollof rice was underwhelming. Paid for stew sauce on the side and was given about three tablespoons full. Everything was over salted. Have eaten a lot of African/Nigerian and love it so was looking forward to this, was really disappointed.
Review №6
2021-07-22Best Nigerian food and best service in New York! I’ve tried many, namely Divine Flavored, Buka, Festac grill, etc, but none compares! Hills Kitchen are genuinely nice people, from the delicious food they make to the packaging instructions, they are stellar! I’ve been ordering for one year and not a day disappointed! I live in queens and they are the only Nigerian restaurant that delivers from Brooklyn to queens, which means they value their customers 💯 . All the other Nigerian restaurants located in Brooklyn don’t deliver to queens. You’ll always have a loyal customer in me!

2022-05-31If you haven’t had Nigerian food before, start here. The jollof rice & stew is my go to and then when I’m missing home for real, I order the fufu. (Pounded Yam with egusi, spinach or okra soup). 🍠 gold stars.
Review №8
2021-07-29I ordered egusi soup and okra soup, they both came with fufu on the side, not a fan of the egusi didn’t smell or taste good but the okro was really good a lil too spicy for my taste but I liked that very much.
Review №9
2019-03-04Was in the Bushwick area when I discovered this place and was pleasantly surprised to find an African restaurant in the area. Naturally I had to stop in for a bite. The service was wonderful, I didn’t have to wait too long for my food and the food itself was exquisite. Will definitely be coming back for more.

2022-04-02Good place with very delicious food. Highly recommend. My friend and I enjoyed every bite.
