No patrons when I went in around 4:30 Thurs afternoon. Don't be fooled the lady that served me was Nigerian andvery friendly.

Both very flavorful with a few fried bananas (too sweet to be plantains) that paired nicely with the fork tender beef and rice combo. I hope they get enough business to stay in business. They certainly have mine.
