Portions not worth the money. Beef and pork were dry, crunchy, and chewy. Rice was tasty

The food wasn’t exactly njce, although it was edible. The beef and goat meat were bland( tasteless). If you’ve got no other option you can go ahead and order from them but otherwise, I wouldn’t advise it. The village rice didn’t smell or taste fresh at all. The jollof rice wasn’t smoky at all. Food’s just pricey with low quality
Pitanga replied
Dear Oluwatosin If you can’t afford to pay advertised prices, I suggest you find your level! How dare you say that the village rice wasn’t fresh?! We make it to order as each order is tailored to the customer’s specific requirement. Kindly resist from placing any more orders with us. Many thanks.

Specified without chillis. Came with chillis. Too hot to eat. App won't let me pursue refund. Really annoyed. Food had to be binned.
Pitanga replied
I have reviewed your order and spoken with my colleagues. As you can see, you specified mild (no chillies) for two items and medium (chilli) for one item. We prepared the food as you requested and feel that your one star review is unwarranted, given that we followed your instructions.
