We had a great experience here! The African food was flavorful, fresh, and absolutely worth trying. The prices are a little on the higher side, but the portions are very large, so you definitely get a lot of food for your money. The customer service was excellent — everyone was welcoming, attentive, and made us feel appreciated. Overall, a nice atmosphere with delicious food and generous portions. We will definitely be returning.

I stopped here for take-out last week and ordered the okra stew w/fish and fufu. It was ready within 20min and was AMAZING.
The okra stew had a huge amount of fish in it and was enough for 2 meals for me. The fufu was so soft, chewy and fresh.
This is 30mins from my house and is so good I plan to regularly make the drive.
Best African food I’ve had in years.

If you want an authentic West African food, service, and atmosphere experience, this is the place for you. I highly recommend it; this place is very unique, and you'll be glad you came.

Tried African food for the first time and I’m soooo happy I found this spot!!! I’ve only had the egusi and okro soup and both are fire!!! I’ve tried them not too long ago and chose egusi, but decided to try okro soup this past Friday before the snow hit….DELICIOUSSSSS!!! I’m a huge okra lover but I don’t think I’ll eat it any other way. The fufu was like butter but eating it with the okra soup gave me a sensory overload and I was forced to do my happy dance. I travel quite a distance for this food but it’s so worth it and I can’t wait until I get home so I start my feast in the car with plenty of wet wipes AND it’s still hot once I get home!!! Don’t hesitate, just try them out! 10’s across the board!

Food is pretty good, however the cashier is always angry for some reason, if you don't like what you do quit.

Grabbed takeout for dinner with my wife and overall had a good experience. My wife really enjoyed the Egusi soup with pounded yam. I ordered the jollof rice with stewed chicken, which was good, though the flavor wasn’t especially memorable. I ordered ahead of time and the food was ready within the timeframe they gave, which made pickup easy and convenient.
Overall, it was a solid takeout experience. Worth trying if you’re in the mood for West African food

Bad cashier attitude. Staring me down like I owed him money. The food was such tiny portions, it's like you're begging them for it. A business that does not appreciate its customers. Avoid, do not recommend 1/10.

I ordered the peanut butter stew... it was just ok. I've had peanut butter stew before and it was a bit thicker. This stew was thin with little bits of meat. The fufu was great. I will try something else from here 1 more time because the fufu was good

I’m new to the area i have had African food before didn’t like it but i was driving pass an stopped an got a to go order of jollof rice an Liberian soup it was sooooo good even with goat an chicken i can even eat without
I will be back im very picky an don’t listen to the bad reviews this place was great and the men who greeted me were very nice and accommodating
The food was amazing; loved the jolof rice and the peanut soup with fufu 😋
The server lady was really nice!
The time it would take to detail my experience, at this poor excuse of an establishment, is more time that I'm willing to give them again. My advice would be to avoid this restaurant.
After about 40 minutes waiting with no food, I can't speak to the quality of their meals; however, their customer service is the absolute worst I have ever experienced.
