With a complete facelift under new management, it features beautiful artwork and an ambiance enhanced by live jazz music. The service is generally excellent, though there have been occasional reports of being understaffed. The staff is friendly and attentive, making guests feel at home.
The menu includes a variety of delicious West African dishes that have received high praise. The Chicken Suya is highlighted for its tender and flavorful taste, while the jollof rice and spicy pepper soup are also favorites among visitors.
