One of the top restaurants in Colorado Springs. What an amazing African food experience. Everything was delicious. Its just the owner, his wife and their kids that run it all. He is so passionate about his business and greets you warmly with a smile. Helped us select the best dishes being our first time.

If you want a different, unique experience come here !!!

My cousin and I went for lunch and the food is incredible. She educated us on the difference between fufu, Tuo Zaafi, pounded yam, etc. They provided a water bowl to wash hands once done (soap on all the tables) then you can throughly wash your hands in the bathroom so you don’t get the food everywhere. The place is clean.
We saw the owner making the Tuo Zaafi and Pounded yam by order, which makes it super home cooked vibe. Those who like to try food try this place!...
