I give it 4 stars because it is not really a restaurant itself, but rather a store and take away, although they also put a table there if you ask for it and they have a small bar. Very friendly. Typical, exquisite foods for very affordable prices. We loved it!

I'm not exaggerating when I say this is by far the WORST African restaurant I have ever ordered from. This is the worst Jollof rice I have ever had and the worst Egusi and Fufu I have ever had. I didn't want to cook Jollof today so I decided to try a local restaurant, never again. Disgusting.

The food here is so good we keep coming back me and my wife come here at least 3-4 a month! The potatoe greens are to die for. The service here is fantastic too just pre warning just call ahead because it will take a while and the location is kind of bad... but if you can pass that your getting a 10/10 meal

I have been here on many occasions, however, the last time was my LAST time. The person I went there w/ ordered her food. As we were eating I noticed her mouth bleeding. She bit into GLASS!!!!!! I swear this happened. I don't know how and why glass was in her food. I've not been back since.

I order their spicy spinach atleast once a week for lunch. I love this place and I never really ate anything but American food but me and my bf fell in love. They were recommended by 4 of the 6 people on my fb post asking for african food . I stay 25 mins away and I drive to get their food . Just make sure u call because it’s a hot commodity.

Absolutely love this place, if you understand the culture you understand the taste. They recognize me by face, always a smile on their faces and have the best selection of beverages.

I really hate to give Blk owned businesses an unpleasant review, however, I would be wrong if I didn't warn folks. My son, girlfriend and I dined here a few yes ago. My sons girlfriend bit into her food and blood was dripping from her mouth. We sifted through the food to find big and small pieces of GLASS. We called 911, fire department came quickly. Management said that we put the glass in the food!!!! Crazy!!!!!! You couldn't pay me to eat there.
