My first time having Nigerian cuisine and I think, I picked the best option outside of Nigeria to try it. I wanted to try everything, and wasn't sure what to order, but our server helped me and my friends choose a well rounded dinner array. Our table had Jollof rice with plantain and chicken, Okra Ogbono with beef, Ewedu soup with beef, Egusi with goat, a red stew with chicken, 3 orders of fufu, an extra order of goat, and an extra order of Amala. Everything was quite tasty and I even got a little buzzed with the Palm wine which was surprisingly sweet and refreshing. The service was great and the restaurant was lively with Afrobeats playing. My only regret was not going earlier in the day, as some of the appetizers I wanted to try, such as meat pies, chin chin, and puff puff weren't available anymore due to selling out. Nevertheless, my friends and I truly enjoyed eating at Veronica's Kitchen and look forward to the next time we will dine there again.

Authentic Nigerian home cooking, close to LAX. The menu is varied, including regional dishes served in family style portions. Prices may seem high, but dishes feed 3-4 people. The interior is casual and simply decorated, with a small amount of seating. They serve Nigerian beer and wine. I knew I had made a good choice when the other patrons dining at Veronica's informed me that they are Nigerian. As I waited for my takeout order, we chatted about popular Nigerian dishes and how to eat them, which I appreciated, since this was my first time trying the cuisine. To be honest, I had ordered without knowing what I was getting lol. I was happy to have made some friends to talk with, since I waited 45 minutes for my takeout order, despite the restaurant not being busy. I ended up with Edikaikong, a spicy and healthy Nigerian classic with flavorful greens and big hunks of preserved fish. I loved the greens, which I enjoyed with the firm, creamy mashed potato-esque fufu. The fish was way too salty for me; I will ask for an entirely vegetarian dish next time. I also enjoyed the Nigerian beer, which reminded me of Coors Banquet.

The food was excellent. My friend makes Ghanian food and Veronica's egusi was better. I went on Father's Day and it was an hour wait because they were cooking for several large parties. However, they were very kind and was upfront about the wait. Decent ambiance for an eatery in a small plaza. You can either sit for your meal or take out. We took are food home and enjoyed. We had fufu, egusi, okra ogbono, jollof rice and red stew. All were delicious except okra ogbona which was a little too slimy for me but my son loved it.

Amazing food and service at Veronica's Kitchen. The owner and chef, Veronica is a real life Nigerian Chief! She is a humble, welcoming, and talented chef and leader! I've had both take out and dine-in meals here. The fufu is outstanding. The egusi is mind blowing! We've ordered just about everything on the menu and loved it all! The staff is hard working and super friendly. Best Nigerian food outside of Nigeria! Promise!

The best African Food I've tried in Los Angeles. They have a new building and location for those who have had it before. I've been hooked on the food since the first time I tried it. Nice Big Portions. I could make a couple meals out of. The wait time can be long. But they make fresh food when u order it. Nice clean environment and really welcoming.

Love the newly renovated space. Food here is consistently delicious and authentic (and I'm Nigerian; so, humbly, have some experience with these dishes). Highly recommended.

So this spot just opened two weeks ago on Manchester so I've had Veronica's kitchen before when she was in Inglewood but now she's on Manchester let me tell you when I say delicious. I know I love fufu but I haven't had it in a long time because you know it on the heavy side, but oh my God this food is so so so good . The only this is the wait was long but worth it , just enjoy a drink while you wait .

Veronica's Kitchen has some of the best jollof rice and egusi soup! The dishes are super flavorful and spice-heavy. The portions are very large and shareable, me and my boyfriend would have been full off of just the egusi and two swallows. The interior is clean, and the service is friendly. Be prepared to wait around 45 minutes for your food though, so don't arrive starving! I would recommend getting the goat over the beef. The beef chunks we had in the egusi were too tough to eat.

I came here because i've really wanted to try fufu and I was not disappointed! The egusi was so flavorful and paired so well with the fufu. The textures were something I was so curious about but again wasn't disappointed at all. This is really such a fun place, I would love to come here with friends. The inside isn't super nice but I don't think that should be a big deal, what you're here for is the food. The staff was incredible, so nice! I would love to come here again, unfortunately I don't live super close but if you read this review you should go!

I ordered on grub hub very easy and simple process my order was the egusi with mixed meat my all time favorite, I guarantee nobody's African cuisine can top this. Alway full of flavor with just the right kick and always delicious.
