My most recent visit to Keje Grills was so disappointing and it’s painful because I had anticipated it for quite a while.
I ordered the Ofada Rice and Sauce with the Virgin Strawberry Margarita. To start with, the sauce had like 4 chunks of protein one of which was liver (which I hate). The proteins (beef and ponmo) were tasty (I will give them that) but it would have been better if they have cut it a bit smaller so every spoon taken had some protein inside (I mean isn’t that one of the main selling points of Ofada?). Secondly, the Ofada was VERY VERY peppery. Pepper in every single thing we ordered was extremely much (haba) - my mouth was burning, I was sweating (it was like I gave myself punishment). This is legit the first time I am dining at a restaurant and sweating ????. Mine was a bit understandable cos it’s Ofada but the Jollof rice and Noodles didn’t need to be too peppery especially when we didn’t ask extra spice. The Jollof rice looked really good but the pepper made it a bit difficult to enjoy it. The virgin strawberry margarita was nice (I could see myself ordering it again) but it didn’t taste like a margarita to me.
The customer service was even worse than the food. The waiter was very rude (rolling her eyes at practically all our questions). I was very scared of calling her sometimes cos I didn’t want to deal with that whole attitude.
On a lighter note, I loved the ambience - the good music playing in the background, the cool breeze blowing around. Also, the Special Grilled Chicken and the Asun were very very good. The chicken tasted sweet ish.
