Jollof Rice and Beef Suya

“The food is absolutely delicious! 🤤😋 Everything was grilled to perfection and packed with flavor. The portion sizes are pretty generous too, so the pricing is somewhat reasonable for the amount of food you get.

My only complaint is that I wish there were more variety in what’s included with the meals. The “bowl,” for example, is literally your choice of meat with shredded onions—no rice or other side—which I found a little misleading.

I ordered the chicken wings and suya combo for $38, and it came with exactly that: chicken wings, beef suya, and shredded onions. The amount of meat was definitely generous, but quite a few pieces of the beef suya were fatty. So I’m still going back and forth on whether I feel like $38 was worth it. 😂

That being said, the flavor was REALLY good, and I enjoyed the food overall. There’s limited street parking, but I didn’t have much trouble finding a spot.

I would definitely go back and would recommend giving them a try—just know that when they say meat and onions, they mean meat and onions. 😂“

“I went to brunch on Sunday, and it was all-you-can-eat with unlimited mimosas, lemon drops, and margaritas. Let me just say—this was some of the best food I’ve ever had in my life! Every single thing I tried was amazing. Not one dish missed.

The bartender was incredible! My glass was literally never empty. Every time I took a few sips, she was right there with a refill. The service was top-notch, and everyone was so friendly and attentive. They cleared our dirty plates quickly, the food was always fresh, hot, and seasoned to perfection, and the whole atmosphere was a vibe. The music, the people, the energy—everything was perfect.

This is officially my new favorite brunch spot! 100/10. I’ll definitely be back!“

“This place is absolutely amazing! The food is incredibly delicious. I visited for the first time today and was welcomed with warm, friendly service. Everyone was in great spirits, and the atmosphere felt really positive.

When I mentioned it was my first time, they kindly offered me a sample of curry chicken, brown stew, and oxtail over rice. Each one was full of flavor — so good that I had a hard time choosing!

I ended up ordering the brown stew chicken with rice, cabbage, and a side of plantains. Everything was cooked to perfection. The chicken was juicy, tender, and full of flavor. The plantains were fresh off the stove — perfectly sweet and soft.

I absolutely loved my experience here and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend giving them a try!“
