We ordered the Jerk Chicken, Beef Kebabs and Goat Stew. We enjoyed all of them. If I were to rank the enjoyment Goat Stew comes first, then the Jerk Chicken and then the tender beef kebabs. Again, they were all good! I would come back again to try the rest of the menu.

My husband and I along with my brother and sister in law visited here tonight. We ordered the feast #2 and also the other feast with the fish. The food was amazing! Freshly cooked and so savory. I couldn’t get enough! The sauce on the chicken was delicious. The steak kabobs melt in your mouth, so tender and juicy. The jerk wings had the perfect amount of kick to them. I don’t have a single negative thing to say about our experience. The owner Flo was absolutely amazing as well. She was so kind , warm and welcoming. She answered any questions we had about the food and just made us feel right at home. If you’re looking for a new place to try, you won’t be disappointed here. We’ll definitely be back for more!

Everything was zabiha-halal! And you know what a challenge that is for us who’s looking. Delicious food, and you can tell how much love went into making it. But “the cherry on top” were the beignets! Our 6 year old devoured them and loved it so much that, Audrey surprised her with a couple more extras to take back home! She was over the moon! Audrey was great at explaining what each dish was (as this was our first time eating Congolese food), and helping us choose. We chose everything off the menu to try. She was very kind, patient, and provided us with the best service with a smile all the way through. Beautiful ambience, delicious fresh halal dishes, and a family-friendly place you should try!
