Duro West African Cuisine

The food here is delicious!! Comfort food African style. Made fresh to order every time. Consistent taste and flavor. If you’re not a fan of spicy ask for mild spice. All the flavors I need in my life.. amazing owner and cook as well!! She goes out of her way to explain items we are unsure about.

Authentic West African fare made deliciously accessible to all. Though heaviły influenced by the Nigerian owner's native cuisine, the menu well represents West African popular dishes. There are even a couple of African diaspora inspired items, like jerk chicken on the menu. The suya kind of like a shish ke bab and jolof rice are particularly good for less adventurous diners. The pepper soups are delictably spicy. If you are brave soul, ask the chef not to tone down the heat. There is typically only one chef at a time on staff, so you may experience a longer wait than usual at times. You may want to ask the waiter what can be prepared quickly if you are short on time. Speaking of the waiters, most are local college students. I was presently surprised to find a red haired Caucasian American waitress as fluent and familiar with the cuisine as if she were a native West African. Had to take a star away because momths after the grand opening, there is still only one cook, who is often overwhelmed when the restaurant gets busy. The waiter service has declined too. I shouldn't have to wait for 25 minutes to get a bottle of beer.

Don’t waste your gas going there if they don’t answer the phone and expect to eat there. They only take reservations and did I mention they don’t answer the phone? I go there and they didn’t forget to put all over their windows they don’t do walk-ins but I was on their site before going and there was no mention of this at all. People should be aware of this. I went during restaurant hours and they appeared to be closed and their site and google said they were open. I was really looking forward to try try their food I’m disappointed that I was unable to.

My favorite restaurant in the whole valley. The food is always delicious, and the right amount of spicy. I use to get food here once a week during the pandemic, but now they are not open as often. I’ve gotten food here with multiple friends, and everyone liked the food! My Nigerian friend also said it’s authentic! My favorite is Egusi with goat, with pounded yam. But other soups are tasty as well. The BBQ chicken wings taste really good, and reminds me of in China. I also like the zobo drink. it tastes a bit medicinal, so maybe not everyone will like it.

We always love going here. The flavors are authentically delicious and very consistently amazing!! One of our favorites in all of Western Mass. Do NOT miss out on this place. The food is like fireworks in your mouth, we try different dishes all the time and we have not found a single thing we don’t love. Try this place!!! It is truly made with love from a real freindly woman who cares about what she puts out. It’s like moms home cooking if you are lucky enough to have a super talented mother who makes 5 star quality high end flavors!!!

Super nice and loved the spice level can’t and very impressed with the food, can’t wait to try more.Food: 5/5

So, I was craving so so bad! Got here early and she was kind enough to accommodate me and must I say… SHE UNDERSTOOD THE ASSIGNMENT! Oh I also ordered some Egusi and plantains… what can I say? Cravings real.

The food from this wonderful woman is so phenomenal and impressive. The goat pepper soup and fufus are incredible and i’m sure everything else is too. It is obvious that there is so much love in this food. It is important to keep in mind that this food takes time! Order in advance. Especially if you’re ordering for multiple people. Also, just because someone isn’t up to your American politeness standards, doesn’t mean that their intentions are to be rude. Be kind!

Love the owner Miss B. She is such a sweet lady! Not only that I live about 40mins away and still drive at least once a week to get Egusi and pounded yam. She is the reason I fell completely in love with egusi!! Love her and her food.

The food was amazingly delicious. I will definitely be back to try the other meals.
