The hype around Fufu & Egusi has been growing strong for a while now - especially in my cravings. Yet isn’t so easily found here in Wellington. I came across Maudricks Homemades via a well-received TikTok and that is a blessing for this of this culture living here, needing their home cooked comfort food. I’ve got no experience when it comes to Ghanaian ???????? food whatsoever, so went it with no expectations. We ordered Fufu + Egusi, Fufu + Peanut Soup, Okra + Semolina. We’re so glad to have diversified our palates with African food! You can taste it was made with Love. There is so much flavour to each dish, we found ourselves studying what was in each dish while eating cause it was so new but so delicious and the portions are well priced. I would have Semolina over Fufu any day as it’s more lighter on the pallet. The husband was very open and kind upon pick up and provided us with a free bag of PuffPuffs (which were so similar to our island Panikekes but layered differently with an added flavour) for waiting an extra 5minutes. I would definitely recommend this family’s food for anyone wanting that fix of African Cuisine. Thank You Maudricks Homemade Food, for keeping your culture alive in Wellington NZ!

Had the pleasure of meeting Frederick and wanted to find out more about the food they make as I was interested in trying fufu with some of their dishes. I left with a sample of flavored rice with meat and got to say it was so yummy. Frederick is a humble, down to earth guy and very lovely to deal with. Looking forward to trying fufu with one of your dishes in a couple of days. Thank you Frederick and Maud. Blessings to you and your family

My first time trying Nigerian food so I wasn’t sure what to expect however, the food surpassed my expectations!! It was really delicious. I ordered the following: Lamb Egusi Stew + Fufu Chicken Jollof Rice Puff bread x5 Total: $65 The egusi stew had some heat but manageable for someone with little to no tolerance. The portions are big enough to feed 4 people (only 2 ate with leftovers). I will back for more and to try new dishes. Communication is very easy and I was able to pick up later in the day after ordering.
