I ordered from this restaurant through Uber Eats and added the bean stew option to my meal, which had no listed price. Later, I noticed they adjusted the total and added a $3 charge without informing me ahead of time. When I called the restaurant to clarify, I was shocked at the response I was told, “Were you expecting free things? There’s nothing free in America,” in a rude and disrespectful tone.
This kind of customer service is unacceptable. I don’t mind paying for what I order, but it’s basic courtesy to be transparent with pricing and speak respectfully to customers. I will not be ordering from here again.

This is the only place I come to to get my food. It is absolutely amazing. I’ve tried other places and none can compare to this place If you’re a person like me and don’t like your food so spicy this place is for you you can taste a little kick just a little bit but you also taste the great flavors and quality of the food.The staff OMG the staff are so so respectful and pleasant to deal with thank you soo much

Thank you so much for your service, food and wonderful atmosphere. We're Haitian,
and Mom is very....No....EXTREMELY picky about her food. So to see mom excited and wants to come back for more, is a huge reward/compliment. Thank you for this wonderful experience, see you soon

I have been ordering from this place for the longest. Always enjoyed their meals till they opened the Irvington location and I had to pick up catered orders from there. The food at this location is HORRIBLE!!! I ordered a tray of waakye and another for jollof during the Christmas holiday. It was so bad that we literally threw everything away except the goat meat that I was able to make some stew from. The beans from the waakye was so hard and had such a bad taste, it didn't even taste like waakye. The jollof was equally hard and tasteless, it tasted like old frozen food that was reheated to sell. The fish that was supposed to come with the waakye also tasted old, like leftover food they would freeze over and over again to serve ordering customers. I ended up making waakye myself with the goat meat I was able to salvage from my order. I spent so much money only for me to throw away the food and cook my own food. It's sad because she used to make really
good food. I will NEVER order from them again!!!

Best African food in town 😋

Delicious delicious meat pie, chicken pie & fried yam. Comes out quickly, fresh & hot. They make it to order which makes it taste even better. Because of that there is about a 10-20 minute wait but I don’t mind that as the quality seems better. Highly recommend

The food is good, I’ve never received bad customer service from them — they’re always nice, and the restaurant is spacious and clean. The only reason I’m giving 3 stars and not 5 is because they’re so greedy with the protein sha ? a whole platter of rice and only 3 pieces of beef, only one piece of turkey like your protein is gone before you’re even halfway with the rice. I’d rather pay slightly more per platter and get even 5 pieces of meat. The only way to get extra protein is to buy an entire order of meat which is $15 and that winds up being way too many, no happy medium. Other than that though, the food is good. Except the goat, they need to cook the goat on a lower temperature for a little longer, it’s TOO tough. You’ll be fighting the meat just to take a bite.

Young guy with the glasses is very rude! I called before coming in for a meat pie, 10 meat pies! I got there and only saw 3! I asked him if there was more and next thing he said whiles walking away is “ we are always coming in here asking stupid questions “ in TWI! Thinking I’m American or something. I left the store and didn’t get the meat pies I drove 30 minutes for
