Reviews for Lilly's Corner in Norfolk, VA
Update Aug: I ordered online and got the fish yassa and nems (egg rolls) and bissap drink this time. They were out of the bissap... drink so I got the ginger lemon drink instead, it had strong ginger taste. I liked it, the drink felt "cleansing". The fishcame with white rice and sautéed onions, the fish was seasoned really well and the white rice was also seasoned well. The nems/ egg rolls came with three sauces and they tasted pretty good. I ordered the lamb mafe and the beef fataya. The lamb mafe wasa stew with slight peanut flavor that was interesting in a good way and the beef fatay was like empanadas and had good flavor Read more
Delicious food!!!! The customer service was excellent as well and thank you to the tall gentleman who brought my food out to my... car as well!! My family was excited to get their hands on some delicious FuFu and we were not disappointed. We will be backsoon?? Read more
I ordered online and my food was ready when I got there. Friendly staff, cute decor, and great food!! I ordered the Fish Yassa... and Red Snapper. Both came with rice and vegetables but I added an order of plantain. So glad I did, it was the perfect fit! Iloved the more savory onions that come on the side, but the spicer version was also a good addition with the fish. I've comehere before but it was years ago. I'll be back! Also, these items are good for anyone with a gluten intolerance as I have. Read more
The people who worked there were nice enough but this food did not sit well with me or my fiance. I ordered the spinach stew and... there was so much oil in it I ended up sick. The lamb was good though. My fiance ordered the grilled lamb, which another patrontold us it was so good it didn't taste like lamb. That was odd. The "lamb" was very thin and not tender at all. After comparingthe taste to my lamb and giving it a good look over, we really think it was a pork chop although their sign says halal. Wewanted to try something different and were very disappointed. The jollof rice was good though. Read more

So amazing, probably our number 2 of all restaurants in Hampton Roads. Everything we ate was delicious, came out fast and was... hot and fresh. If you like African food or are maybe just thinking about trying it, do yourself a favor and hit this place up. Read more
