Flavors so strong they drown out the state of the world! Simultaneous escapism and couldn’t be more in the moment. Soo tasty and staff was very helpful

NOT GOOD
Let’s start with the food. I got the chicken shawarma with rice as my meal. The rice was horrible - seemed like it was premade and heated up. The chicken was oily salty and tough. There was no flavor. I can’t believe how expensive it was!! 19 dollars for this meager portion was ridiculous. It was served with a side of hummus, but nothing to dip in it.
The food took literally an hour to be made even though there were about 2 other people in the restaurants. Apparently the kitchen was slammed with online orders. If you really want to try this place you should order online

The service was awful. Server didn’t know info about the meals, water was never refilled, etc.

Just skip this place.

I ordered the lamb Asun with plantains. The lamb was tough and dry. The plantains were great. Others in our party got the shawarma with rice. Very flavorless and dry. I expected more since the food was made from scratch. It took forever for lunch to arrive. They do a lot of online orders which adds more time for dine in service. For the price, I would try another restaurant next time.

This place smells incredible as soon as you walk through the door and the food is delicious. If you’ve never tried most of what’s on the menu, take a chance and try something new!

This place is the best. Everything that I’ve tried is so flavorful, I can’t get enough. My boyfriend and I keep coming back for the Oxtail Pepper soup, as well as the Jollof Rice with lamb. The drinks are also amazing, we have tried the Hibiscus and Mango drinks, and both are so refreshing to have with our meal. The servers are also awesome about dietary restrictions as well, and make sure that you know the major allergens in the food before you order (I’m lactose intolerant, my boyfriend is celiac, and we have never gotten sick). Overall an amazing spot that deserves all the business that comes its way.
