As an African, I can affirm that this restaurant is doing a great job.
Welcoming atmosphere, delicious Ablo my favorite, I like also the jellof rice.
I've seen people of any other culture enjoying okra foods and natural juices.

I'd been wanting to try African cuisine and this place was recommended by friends and family and they did not disappoint! The owner went over how we could order and was friendly and attentive. The food was very flavorful and tasty. I tried the build your own bowl with jollof rice, steak kabobs, sweet potatoes, chickpeas, fried plantains,
and the spinach sauce. Loved their natural lemonades. I tried the hibiscus and lemongrass lemonade. I look forward to trying...

I've been wanting to try this place since I moved to Omaha, and it did not disappoint! I've never had fufu before and it's so good - I will be definitely be coming back ASAP.

It is a little pricey, but I got the chicken fufu with peanut butter sauce, and it was pretty filling. The chicken was perfectly cooked, and the sauce was delicious.
