I would say a 4.5. I recommend looking at the menu before and possibly looking up some of the dishes if you aren't familiar with this type of cuisine.

I highly recommend the plantains and the jollof rice, no meat. I picked my meat out, but that was my personal preference. My partner enjoyed his steak jollof a lot.
The samosas were good and we enjoyed the sauce that was served with it.

We will return!
