I went in with my girlfriend a little more than an hour before close. We did not understand how to order, when an old soft spoken lady came up to us. I thought she was a customer, but she was a server. She explained they were out of most foods because it's later, but they still had beef and rice. We told her it was fine and she told us to make ourselves comfortable.

There were some loud men, tough looking men at different tables speaking different languages....
This place was... strange. First I'll say the food was excellent. We got the beef stew, chicken platter, spicy samosa, and fried donut. The beef stew was some of the best stew I have ever had. Everything else was top tier.

The strange part was the atmosphere and service. First, the location is set back from the street and looks like a hole in the wall. Once inside its a big room with tables and a small counter section with food partially visible...
What an interesting guessing game, with no prices posted or food descriptions a certain level of familiarity is needed.
To be fair, my friend raved about the food, she loved it ..and went back for seconds!

After reading the others reviews I thought to mention the prices.
I will only say, I was not amused at the 32.5 price tag on the mixer plate(rice and bean, greens, and a chipati) with a giant bowl of stew that I didn't know where it...
