Me and my sister-in-law were queuing for ages, only for one of the women working there to finally acknowledge our existence and snap 'do you want something?

Onje, a vibrant Nigerian restaurant in Manchester, garners mixed reviews from diners. While many praise the hearty portions and flavorful jollof rice, experiences can vary significantly. Customer service appears inconsistent, with some reports of indifference and even hostility from staff, overshadowing moments of warmth and friendliness experienced by others. Complaints about food quality, including undercooked chicken and excessive bones in dishes, detract from the overall appeal. Despite these issues, some guests fondly refer to Onje as a "home away from home," highlighting its potential for authentic flavors and welcoming atmosphere—if you can navigate the service challenges.
