I've been eating here since 2018 will not go anywhere else, if you seek traditional african food spend your money where you get the best, your gonna pay. Ii is definitely worth it. I am now preparing for baby number 2 and I go here for all my unborn baby cravings. Egusi&goat meat and FuFu is my favorite.

8/13/24 I'm vegan and the Lady chef made feel comfortable and prepared my meal and it was quite delicious. I had the spinach mixture with no fish, a lot of plantains, the tomato stew was to die for totally tastefully. I will be back.

I absolutely love their food. I haven't tried many things because I'm always ordering the same dish which is the egusi. I'm going to try the fish pepper soup my next visit

Their food was so delicious and not that pricey like other places I have been to. The woman that served our food was so nice too. Will definitely come back again. Highly recommended!!!
