Chosen One

I wanted to try some popular African dishes so I heard about this place. Let me tellll you their chicken and oxtails was some of the most tender meats I’ve ever had from any restaurant. Everything was seasoned to my liking! The atmosphere was calming, the employees were so nice and helpful! I’ll definitely be back.

This is hands down the best food I’ve ever had in my life! The atmosphere is very relaxing and the staff is very friendly and attentive. It was a bit of a wait for the food but definitely worth it. As someone who never finishes all of their food when eating out, I almost licked the plate clean here!

The food is so delicious it does not disappoint. I’ve already been three times and I haven’t had a dish I didn’t like. I had baked chicken the first time, fried fish the second time and steam fish the third time. They were all delicious. The food is well flavored and authentic.

This place is one of the best places to go downtown for great food and a great vibe. The people there greet you as soon as you come in. They had great music playing the whole time and on top of that the have african drums set up for you to play and experience a taste of african beats. I would recommend any and every kiddy to come to this place. The owner even comes out and checks up on you from time to time just to make sure your experience is satisfactory. I love this place and I could eat there everyday.I don't have any pictures because I was too busy eating to think about it but I had their Fufu because I saw it online and i had to try it. I give it a 10/10 also they have alot of vegan options, I had the pasta with soy meat subsitute and it was by far the best pasta I have had in a very long time. 10/10Vegetarian options: All of their regular dishes can be made vegan and vegetarian. Great selection of food items

Food needs a little seasoning based off my taste. Chicken and jollof I didn’t like. But the fufu wasn’t bad but still needed some seasoning. My juice was served warm. But staff was great. Again these are my taste buds.

I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant! When we walked in we were welcomed by the nicest people. This was our first time having food from Ghana and our server took the time to explain popular options and the different menu items. We decided on the kelewele for an appetizer, fufu with pepper soup and chicken, and my boyfriend got jollof rice with chicken. The portions were very, very generous and we will definitely be returning!! Highly recommend
