Every time I place an order I’m told my food will be ready in 5 to 10 minutes. I always give it 20 to 30 minutes before showing up because it never fails my food is never ready as advised. I also noticed that when prepping or banging the food they never have gloves on. They’ll go from sitting around being on there phones, checking people out to heading directly into the kitchen. This last time I seen pots and bowls on the ground with food in them. Not sure if it was scraps or what but why not place the dishes on the counter top or table? Why not dispose of old food into a trash can or waste? As fare as how the food taste. It’s pretty good but I have my concerns from what I’ve witness and if I’ll ever get terrible sick one day. Customer service wise 1 through 10 I’ll give them a 8

"Madam Patience, I love your cooking, but for the benefit of customers who aren't from Liberia, could you please reduce the amount of pepper in your dishes? I found the food I bought from your restaurant to be too spicy ?️. I'd like to enjoy your cooking, but with a milder flavor. Thank you for considering this request!"

I love African food but this place needs to learn not to be too heavy on the spice they should have mild at least...not saying I can't take spice because I'm Indian and Mexican. I eat all kinds of spices so if they made one that's with less spice I would be able to finish the whole damn thing..but since it's so overwhelmingly spicy I don't get my money's worth...I literally made beef curry and ate the fufu with that smh do better please if you want more people to come to your place of business....more people more money less spice more money and people ???

Remember before she opened her restaurant buying a pan of cassava leaves my family loved it! This was back in 2016. It's like crack in a pan! So flavorful! Also got into potatoes green and it was absolutely delicious! I order for pickup & it's quick.

Very fast and respectful service. The food was amazing. The spicy meals were very delicious and very spicy. Refreshing to finally have a spicy meal be spicy. Also the portions are very large. Ordered 3 meals for a group of 6, we split up the meals and still had lots of left overs.

I just spent 47 dollars ordering food here. The cassava leaves taste old and the egusi is so salty that we had to throw it away. Do you taste your food before you sell it to others? Totally wasted my money now trying to make some eggs to eat.

Love this place. The food is always fresh and very tasty. I always have to stop here when I’m in the area. The portions are also very generous.
