I brought my daughter here to taste African food for the first time in celebration of black history month. We were specifically looking for west African food since her ancestry is mostly Nigerian. I got the grilled chicken plate and she got the lamb. I was pleasantly surprised at the low prices. Everything was hot and tasty. Service was friendly and fast. I would definitely recommend this place.
Got rice and chicken/ they put this veggie salsa on the chicken and gave a side of it. Put over the rice took it too another level. Chicken was ok. Also got the fufu with a lamb dish, girlfriend liked the fufu and lamb, said the sauce it was in not too her liking. Would come back again.
Dude, this place was unreal. I had the grilled lamb, rice, and fufu, plus the hibiscus drink.
It was genuinely one of the top 20 meals I’ve ever had in my life.
I know none of you random people know or trust me, but when I say that, based on food taste alone, it was a 9.3, you should understand that is an insane number.
I honestly think you could take a Klansman here, and he would leave less racist after eating it.
