Merilyn's Kitchen

A nice Nigerian restaurant in NE of Calgary. Food was good. Very good standard. Tasted fresh and homemade. We had Moimoi and assorted and another plate of beans and plantains. I found it slightly expensive though. Both plates cost $41. The beans and plantain jd no protein.Also, there was bit of queue. Like people were standing for like 8-10mins before being attended to and another 10/15mins before food is ready.Overall, I’ll come again, cause food was good. Maybe i’ll call to order ahead if that’s available.

As usual, im impressed by the food here! I have never had a bad customer experience here and every time I come here the lady (I believe the owner) has always treated me with respect and so kind! The food taste AMAZING (yes sometimes the portion is a little small) but none the less amazing taste. I always recommend this place to all my friends for the amazing taste and great service! Keep it going and I will always be coming back here!

I went there for the first time yesterday and it was amazing.Good customer service, food preparation was fast, food was tasty and felt like home. I hope to come here again. Out of all I ate, my best is the Efo Riro. You have to try it! The Suya is really nice too.You can also get snacks like chinchin, puff puff, meatpie, etc. The aesthetic of the place is like a typical Nigerian restaurant and I love it.

Got Fufu with chicken as well as Jollof rice with tilapia and another Jollof rice with plantain and meat pies. It was all very delicious. The lady up front also gave me a free puff puff to try and that was so good! I thought they were really nice and the food was good. Maybe a bit on the expensive side for the portion sizes but worth it if you're looking for this kind of food.

This is theblast time i will ever buy anything hrre,very expensive food for no reason,even if there is famine you shouldn't sell a small portion of Egusi Soup for $26,I have bought from other places and uts double ,even triple your portion.

Extremely poor customer service. The lady without earrings and tying turban should not be attending to customers. Meal was nice the last time I picked one up rrom there.

We had jollof rice and fried rice with moimoi, goat meat pepper soup and puff puff.Meals were suitably priced, freshly prepared, tasted great. Only complaint is that the goatmeat pepper soup had more bones than chewable meat.The washrooms were neat and well equipped and service was prompt.Did not give more stars because most of the meals advertised were not available.

The food is good but the customer service is horrible. They treat people horribly but the food is good

Another attempt at giving a Nigerian restaurant a chance. Service, food, atmosphere was mediocre at best. Its just disappointing.We are new in Calgary and decided to give this place a try. We ordered the poundo yam & okra (see pic of the okra), rice & ofada, and pepper soup. On arrival, there was no one at the register and we had to wait about 10minutes & it took my partner hollering and waving to get a response. I specifically asked if the ofada was the green or the red one of which the lady that attended to me answered that it was green. Lo and behold it looked more like red pepper stew. The Okra was the one that we thought was pretty poor. From what i know, okra was a ‘draw’ soup but what we were served was surely not Okra. I made this known to the lady that served us that I was surprised by this. I took a couple of scoops to feed myself and my 22month old but could no longer take it. I brought it to the attention of the ladies (1 who i believe is the owner). Her response was ‘so what should i do, what should i do?). To avoid confrontation, i requested to just have the assorted meat and we were ready to leave. I asked for egusi soup instead and guess she had a change of heart and provided the egusi as an exchange. This was gracious on her part. The egusi was a bit better. But i could clearly hear the owner grumbling and speaking in the kitchen about me/ the incident. The other lady said I should have ordered ogbono if I wanted draw soup. Welp! It seemed like a joke to be honest. Its just sad that as much as we try to support our own, we are met with so much disappointment and poor service. Our Nigerian food is very expensive and wished we got more value and better experience out of it. Will not be returning. Order the Okra at your own risk!
