Order jollof with plantain and fish and an order of moi moi. Jollof is smokey and savory. Very well seasoned. Fish was smacking a little spicy but be careful of the bones if you've never had whole pieces of fish. Plantain was cooked perfectly. Moi moi hot and a little spice. Also the owner was sweet and the vibe was like you're with family. I would like to try the egusi when my coins are up next time lol.
I came all the way from SF and it exceeded my expectations! I’ve always wanted to try fufu and egusi and this is one of the only places in the bay that make it happen. The flavor was incredible, spicy and fresh. The man serving us, Manny, was so kind and helpful. I can’t wait to come back!
I found this restaurant thanks to a recommendation online and I’m so happy I found it! The jolloff rice alone is a reason to go, not to mention all of the other great dishes they have including the meat pies which are a must order every time
