Ten stars 🌟 beautiful environment, atmosphere and interior design. I can't call it decor because that word does not do justice to the lovely walls that appear to be beautiful wood carvings, nor does the term decor have the esteem to refer to the cultural artifacts thoughtfully placed about - the natural enhancement of lighting , and the comfortable seating areas with clean adorable apolstrty. The food was tasty...

This place is great, the service is very slow, so don't come in a rush. The food is amazing. Also, pro tip on Sambusas, it is a single Sambusa, no like a plate of them. Also mix their specialty drink before drinking it, its not very sweet until you mix it.

The wings are awesome and the Gluten Free carrot cake is soooo moist and the frosting is perfect. I ate it too fast to take a pic 😅.

Had stepped in, good air and very good scents. Was a tad confused about the entrance or if i was in the right place but that was simply me being clumsy haha. Had ordered a plate of lamb tibs and gotten myself a Killa Bee cocktail, overall amazing in flavor and plate quality. Extremely would recommend to another ^^
