This was a great experience! We were immediately greeted and welcomed. The music was a nice touch and we were able to enjoy a few shows. Our waitress was Josephine and she was kind and friendly, she always checked in to make sure our food was good and if we wanted anything else. The drinks were also amazing. They make a ginger drink with fresh ginger which was strong and bold. It made me feel like my immune system was … . There was also sobolo which had a deep powerful flavor. My favorite was their hibiscus lemonade which was not as strong but had a great flavor. All of their food was outstanding. I enjoyed their peanut butter soup and rice balls. The flavor was great and warmed me up. It felt like I was back in Ghana. This was a great experience and I can’t wait to come back!

First time trying this place, food was delicious, the staff was super friendly, and just good vibes overall.
I don’t get people complain over them using the microwave to warm up some of the items, like puff puffs.

I tried something new and absolutely loved it. I will be back!

Great customer service upon walking in but food was mid. Wish I had more Cassava and less rice.

The food was flavorful and felt really fresh--jollof rice and suya were a hit. Portions were big enough to share, which I liked.

The place itself is laid-back, nothing too fancy, but it has a chill vibe and the staff was super friendly. Only thing keeping it from a full 5/5 is that service was a little slow, but honestly the food made up for it.

I have ordered from this place on multiple occasions but stopped. I am a foodie and enjoy eating. Normally this establishment is decent for taste and freshness until lately. I have ordered the same meal all the time and it has rated different each time. I once ordered and the amount of oil stacked in my to go container was concerning. More oil less food. The microwaved rice was hard and brittle. The chicken was undone as that was my protein. One time the dish was over powered by fish smell I had to throw it away. For the amount of money I have spent there I would expect better quality. Now this leads me to believe the prices don’t match the dish. I’ve been looking for a local good African restaurant and now I’m sad because this place had a lot of potential. Owners are very nice but food needs more consistency, love, and quality.

I’m sorry. ⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️The young Lady is very nice super nice but whoever the owner is, they need to look at God into their prices specially for food that you just heat up. The fish is already prepared instead of preparing it when the order is placed. The rice should be covered at all time because rice is very quick of dragging bacteria. cover the rice after it’s cooked. It’s okay. But definitely overpriced for the quality

If I could give it -1 star I would, I have tried this place a couple times hoping maybe it’s the food. But the restaurant sells sour and expired food. I have gotten sick each time I tried it. I tried the egusi, the okra, the tuo zaafi. My fish tasted old and spoiled. I’m so mad I spent so much money here. The food even looks and smells odd. Never again.

I visited this restaurant yesterday, and it was my second time there. I had previously shared my positive experience with a friend, highlighting how good the food was the first time I visited. On my first visit, I enjoyed the stew fish with jollof rice, although I found it a bit unusual that they used a microwave for some of the food. I generally prefer meals to be made fresh to order, particularly when it comes to fish.

However, my experience yesterday was disappointing. I had the fish and stew with jollof rice and plantain, along with peanut soup featuring goat meat and white rice. My friend ordered okra and pepper stew with pounded yam. Unfortunately, the fish was quite dry and had an overpowering fishy flavor, while the plantain was also hard. The jollof rice lacked flavor, and the stew resembled spaghetti sauce more than what I would expect from a traditional stew, especially given the price. The portion sizes seemed small, with only two scoops of rice and a single scoop of stew, and my fish was served without any sauce.

Additionally, the peanut stew was quite watery, and the goat meat was tough and chewy. The okra appeared to be past its prime, as I noticed some sticks and vines mixed in, and the pounded yam had visible chunks that needed more thorough preparation.

I was genuinely looking forward to a great meal, so this visit left me feeling quite dissatisfied. I think there’s potential for improvement in both the quality and presentation of the food. I would recommend the restaurant focus on enhancing the freshness and flavor of their dishes to better meet customer expectations. At this point, I hesitate to recommend it to others based on my recent experience.
