Was the only customer standing at the front of the line waiting to order. The worker would answer 1 question and then ignore us for 3-5 minutes and repeat.

The menu is extremely confusing and not intuitive. For example, some dishes come with sides, but the part of the menu that says “sides” is not the sides included. Some of the main dishes are in the “sides” category (the red beef stew, for example). Very poorly laid out and confusing. Some dishes are only on weekends, but it is shown as part of the options in their buffet set up.

We simply left after 10 minutes of getting to ask 3 questions and mostly being ignored because the service was so horrendous.

I thoroughly enjoyed my combo meal (will feed me 4x!), traditional rice, goat, plantains and a drink. I especially appreciate the service and suggestions based on my dietary restrictions/preferences.
I will definitely go back and try a smaller meal and already know what I want to try (white bean purée with a Scotch egg)!

It's a very welcoming restaurant . My server was quite thoughtful and offered incentives to make up for sold out pies. I'll definitely be coming back and patronizing this amazing african restaurant.

Spent $120 on an order using Ubereats. It was a waste.

Asun: it was full of oil! Poorly packed as the oil spilt on everything even the uber driver's bag. And there was still soo much oil in the food

Plaintain: description says fried RIPE plantain. That was not the case, it was not ripped. We could not eat it because we detest fried unripe plantain

Beef stew: 2 pies of BURNT meat. Barely there stew amd PLENTY OIL. Stew was also burnt. I tasted it all I could taste and smell was how burnt it was, in terms of actual flavor there was NONE.

Grilled Fish: nice presentation, complete information lacking in flavor and salt.

Chicken: RAW RAW RAW! It was very pink inside(blood).

Suya: BURNT. It was soo badly burnt. I put one in my mouth to eat and and honestly it was a bot of meat and mostly charcoal. To hide how burnt it was they doused it in A LOT of suya pepper

Pepper sauce for fish: oily and no flavor and no salt.

I picked at one of the fish then ordered pizza. We could not eat the food. It's sitting in my fridge. $120 and not 1 item was good. Oh and because oil had spilled on everything and the paperbag was soaked with it, I was given the added stress on cleaning ?

Reply owner : the bag arrived.as you packed and stapled it. Poor driving would have resulted in items in the bag shifting but this was not the case at all, the lid was not closed well and because I was mostly served oil, it would be easy for it to spill.

I confidently order to many items because i liked what i had previouly when i ordered in person. I orderrd flr a group, assured the fiid wouls be good but was proven wrong

Wanted to try a different cuisine and tried the fried plantain and the beef patties, and found them delicious. We came back today, and still appreciated the food
