    Fresh and Delicious Food, Friendly Owner, and Great Price!

    I stopped into Baku's for a late lunch after taking a hike on a summer day. I'm vegetarian so I ordered the "Signature Jollof Rice, Beans and Vegetables" for a mere $5.95 and a glass of "Super Spicy Ginger Beer." The owner made everything to...More

    Yum, fun

    The Nigerian food was marvelous! Very homey, owner explained the food, her culture and was very friendly. The service was like your grandmother's kitchen, so don't expect fancy, snooty or fawning.

    Unique mixture of flavors

    We wanted to try a restaurant with food you couldn't get in the dorms, thus ended up at this African (Nigerian) restaurant. At first, we were wary. It was early for dinner and we were the first customers. The lady who ran the restaurant was...More

    No Way to Run a Restaurant!

    We arrived about 7:30pm on a Saturday during winter break. Understandably the place was empty with the college students all out of town. There was one girl working and we took the menus over to the table area to pick out what we wanted to...More
