"This is an overview of 2 month 's worth of visits. Food 5* Jellof Rice Okay, so I very rarely order and eat jellof rice because from my experience it 's notoriously rare to get tasty and authentic tasting jellof rice. Having been to A.G.G. a few times and the jellof rice was 'hit miss ' of very authentic Nigerian tasting jellof, to just ok jellof, over the last week (possibly two), it 's been all hit and no miss. It 's also gone down as the best jellof rice I 've had in the UK. Seafood okra: Much as I didn 't eat this but ordered it for family, they raved so much about I wished I did like okra! In their words (and they 're very difficult to please), it was outstanding! Nuff said! Egusi and Efo riro: I 'm not a fan of white Egusi (which they serve) so tend to mix it with efo riro. I placed an order of both and my goodness, it was 'Yoruba ' cooking in mouth! Difficult to explain and can only be understood when you 've eaten authentic Yoruba food in Nigeria. Only niggle but not major, is the use of spinach rather than callaloo greens (don 't know the Nigerian veg name) for efo. Goat meat: The goat meat is not only tasty but has that goaty taste I love. The portion I bought was freshly prepared and though I was meant to travel with it, I went from taste to empty plate! Ewa Agoyin: You just have to try it! Indescribable! Service 5* So far, I 've not had a poor service experience. All the staff have been and are courteous and helpful, though some more than others (I wish I remember their names the lovely lady with the daughter that work there, the young lad, and the Italian Nigerian girl). Yes, it can take a while to order due to the queues and waiting, but in my view, that validates the quality and authenticity of the food, otherwise it 'll have much less visits and queues. My hope is that I 'm not terribly disappointed in future. Ambiance 3.5* This isn 't a negative as it 's always spotlessly clean which is the priority really. However, for dining in, it is basic, and with the queues often crowded with students and professionals alike. Definitely my go to place when I crave Nigerian meals at the moment, and saves me the trip to London for a good Nigerian meal!"

They have that distinct Yoruba flavour and texture down. Yummy at an addictive price. Try it if you get a chance.

You need to employ more people! This delay is out of hands and the tables are always dirty! They don’t have good customer service! Food is 6/10… Customer service zero!

This restaurant is great for individual or groups, the food is very tasty Nigerian cuisine, with varieties of dishes to chose from. The customer service was great. Will definitely visit whenever I visit Coventry again.

During our road trip return from Nottinghamshire, we searched on line, at Castle Donnington for African restaurant, and it came up with the name AGG. It is located on the High Street in Coventry, about 2 minutes walk from Fargo Village! Service was prompt Page, the waitress, had a nice smile. Our starter meat pies was warm and delicious, not stuff with too much flour! For our main, we had fried rice with assorted meat; Egusi with pounded yam and Ogbonno with Pounded yam. The ambiance was nice and peaceful
