DF Nigerian Food Truck

Never tried Nigerian food until this week and HOLY COW. Ordered jollof rice with jerk chicken, and egusi soup with beef which came with a side of fufu. I couldn’t stop eating both. The flavors are just incredible and so packed with spice and deliciousness. The portions were pretty big and the owner was very kind. I will def be back to try the rest of the menu.

I got agusi and fufu. The sauce is not really good at all. I couldn’t eating. I also got Nigerian egg rolls it look like very old .

I put in one of those Good to Go orders. DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE all I got was dried out rice and bones with no meat on it. Plus the guy was on the phone the entire time. This was my first time trying this place. If you're not "Nigerian" don't even bother going they don't like outsiders. I guess they make enough money so they don't care. I'm glad I only paid a small price through the app I WON'T BE BACK! Curiosity is satisfied. What do you mean what location you only have ONE TRUCK LOCATION in front of the Nigerian Embassy on 2nd Avenue and 44th street!

I’ve been patronizing this food truck for years, and I wanted to be sure I liked their dishes before making a decision, and I’m glad to say this food truck has really improved over the year, based on my consistent orders. I have tried most of the dishes they serve, my favorites are the Ilasepo, the honey beans with corn and dodo heaven in a plate the spicy snails, which has just the right amount of spice nothing over the top and the goat meat peppersoup which is the perfect hangover remedy or even the perfect acquaintance for a cold day. The meat is so tender. The potions are good and they’re always well packaged, to avoid spills. I would be mad if that happened because I do not play with my Naija food. Every now and then they also send a freebie to thank me for my consistent patronage, which I truly appreciate. When I feel homesick, which is a lot of times these days, DF Nigerian food truck really helps me cure that. Definitely my go-to for authentic Nigerian meals. I hope they stay as consistent, and if that truly is the case, God help my pocket

One of the best Nigerian restaurants I have been to, I live in Rhode Island when I’m craving Nigerian dishes I will drive out to Nyc wish they open a spot out here , I usually don’t kno what to order so I will get couple of different selections everything is great on the Menu…. Definitely worth the drive , I would recommend every one who has not tried Nigerian food that lives in the New York area to definitely give it a try you will not be disappointed!!!!

Drove up from DC for a weekend in NYC and made this our first stop even before checking into the hotel. We got a ton of stuff. SO WORTH IT!!! Best Nigerian food I’ve ever had. The Ewa Agoyin IS AMAZING!! Rich and smokey. I could have stoped there!! The Jollof rice was equally good. Crocker fish was delicious. Excellent Honey Beans. The guy who served us was a really nice guy. You have to go!!

5/18/24 I just read the owner’s reply to my review. I have a few follow up questions and comments 1. Why are you keeping Agege bread in the fridge? You clearly stated that you make everything fresh daily and sell off leftovers at a discount at the end of each day. Did I miss something? Was Agege bread excluded from the daily fresh items? 2. Putting the first question aside for a moment, if the bread was in the fridge and not the freezer, why heat it up in the microwave? What’s the point? 3. You assumed I, and perhaps others, wanted warm bread. Why didn’t you ask? You should always ask your customers first rather than assume. After all, the Agege bread was not listed as warm bread on your menu, so I had no such expectation. By the way, warming bread in the microwave should be avoided for obvious reasons. When it’s necessary, there are precautionary steps to take to prevent overheating. Regarding your claim of making everything fresh daily, it doesn’t add up for me, but I understand why you say it's your practice. If you truly do this, kudos to you. However, I have to say the jollof rice I bought that day was bland and did not taste fresh at all. I could go on, but there’s no point in dissecting your comments further. I have already addressed the key points. Since there are some good reviews online, I am willing to reconsider my opinion about your services. The good reviews suggests that some customers have had better experiences. It makes me wonder if the quality of your food varies from one day to the next or if it is due to individual preferences. I should also mention the possibility of bot reviews. One thing I know for sure is that when jollof rice is delicious, it’s undeniable. Even your competitors can’t deny it. That, I can guarantee. Thanks, but no thanks for offering a refund. I wrote the review because it was hard for me to believe that I bought food from a Nigerian food truck, parked in front of the Nigerian embassy in the middle of Manhattan, NYC, and it was so bad. It was a hard pill for me to swallow. Please take this as constructive criticism. There is no ill will here. I don’t own a restaurant and I don’t live in New York City, so I am not a competitor. The purpose of the review was to make you aware of these issues. I hope this honest feedback will encourage you to revisit your processes. Work on improving the quality of your food and the overall customer experience. Please don’t compromise on the quality of your food. As a paying customer, I as well as others like me, deserve value for our money. Thank you. initial review moved here My experience at the DF food truck was disappointing to say the least. I bought goat meat stew, Jollof rice, efo riro and agege bread. Only the goat meat stew was tolerable. Everything else was horrible. The efo riro was not fully cooked. The vegetables spinach was crunchy to the bite. It was plain without ‘emi’ in it, boring and tasteless. Next Jollof rice omg! on a scale of 1-10, it was 0/10. Tasteless, flavorless overcooked rice. Horrible to say the least. The worst of it all was the agege bread. They offer full loaf or half loaf. I ordered full loaf but I was given half loaf without any explanation. I was not aware of the switch until I got home. As if that wasn’t bad enough, please be aware, they keep most of their food in the freezer including bread so they are not freshly made. The frozen bread was defrosted in the microwave. Can anyone believe it? Well this is not a joke because it happened to me. By the time I got home, the bread was as hard as stone. I paid over $60 that day and gave a big tip but the food that not edible except the goat meat which I ended up eating by itself. The rest went in the trash. I can’t believe this truck is still open. How is it possible? The worst Nigerian food I ever bought.

I’ve been orders from DF for years now and decided to try their other food options. I ordered online 2 hrs ahead of my pick up time. Got there and the guy told me the food was not ready yet, had to wait an extra 15mins in the COLD only to hear that scotch egg was not available and I would receive a refund. Never received a REFUND till this day and that was about a month ago. Also the “vegan egusi” I ordered was HORRIBLE. It was filled with oil and had no flavors whatsoever. If you’re looking to try this place, look somewhere else. The food and customer service was trash

This. Was. Amazing!! Really threw me back. I literally inhaled my food - the portions were huge and the flavors were incredible. Whoever at the truck was also very kind and you can tell they put a lot of work and care into this food. Can’t wait to come back to NYC just so I can have this

Authentic and delicious! We came from out of town to the consulate and enjoyed fried rice, jollof rice, goat and chicken to close out the afternoon. Well worth itFood: 5/5
