I’m very disappointed, sent my driver 45 minutes to pick up this meal and the portion size is insanely small for the price. I don’t think I’ll recommend anyone here anymore because you don’t get enough for the price. Container isn’t full and 1/4 is just oil. Fufu was additional price and again portion size too small.. Asked for spice on the side and did not receive it & cassava leaf is very oily. Spoke to the manager who offered no support at all, didn’t offer...

I went here with 5 of my friends and we had a fantastic experience with an incredibly friendly waitress as well as fantastic food! I got the pepper and meat sauce with goat and fufu as my side which was a very healthy portion for the price I paid. I was very impressed with the varying spice levels and intense flavors from every dish I tried at our table and would absolutely come back again!

Hands down happiest I've been leaving a resteraunt in a very long time. It is a little more pricey then what I was expecting BUT..... We were greeted with friendly service. The waitress was patient, accurate and served us our meal in a timely manner. Absolutely amazing food served hot and fresh. Unique menu that is worth the risk if you're leary of trying new foods as well. There are so many different things on the menu that would fit a variety of food type preferences....
