The menu features standout dishes such as jerk chicken, oxtail, chicken plate, honey suya wings, tacos, jollof rice, Mac and cheese, fried plantain, and rice & peas.

Coconut candy yams and jollof rice are popular sides. Visitors often enjoy eating with their fingers, enhancing the authentic experience. The drinks menu includes the well-loved painkiller cocktail, mocktails, and other options, all complementing the flavorful meals. The decor and music create a perfect ambiance, and the staff is quick and friendly, making guests feel at home. The restaurant is a locally owned spot that provides genuinely home-cooked meals and has quickly become one of the top restaurants in Des Moines, winning 1st Place at the 2023 Smoke Out Hunger.

The smashburger sliders were amazing and so was the painkiller drink! Also loved the candied yams and fried plaintans!

Absolutely love the sliders, I get them every time! I love that they use Nadia’s French Bakery locally for the buns, too!

Savory, rich, and oh so good! The staff made our experience over the top. We will be back.
