“My order was quite enjoyable. I had some large fish that was topped with rice that had been seasoned and sauteed onions and peppers. Since I had never really had African food before, I ordered something that didn't really fit with my order, so I really appreciate that they phoned me. The ginger beverage was flavorful, zesty, and refreshing.“

“I’m a jamaican who loves African food dearly. I love the culture and food as a whole. A friend of mine recently switched jobs so I can no longer get the authenticity any more of the food. But i heard of this place from a friend and decided to try because i was craving saki with egusi and pounded yam. Food was absolutely amazing, just the right amount of spice in my book and the meat was very tender which i loved. You can tell they cleaned the meat very well as it had no smell to it. I can’t even express my enjoyment for the food. My only disappointment is that I ordered the saki, beef, and chicken and instead of getting the saki i got two pieces of meat. But other than that i had a good experience with this place. Also keep in mind i ordered this food from uber eats and the food took 40-50 minutes to get to me and the food was still amazing warm and hot. That’s a plus for me“

“Staff polite, served your meal right at the table. The place was well lit, spacious and clean, same for the bathroom very clean.

Parking: Maybe on the inside streets you’d have better luck but on the main road it wasn’t very easy per se“

“Craving Naija food so bad on my birthday today, I decided to find a place to order on my way back from my trip. I found this place, since it was the only one open. I ordered online, choosing the option to pay when I came to the place. Getting there, I met a pleasant lady who barely understood or spoke English. Somehow we communicated, and I realized that my online order was not valid, as she didn't get it. With minimal use of the menu, I told her what I wanted. The food took over 15mins as she had predicted. The taste of the food however didn't disappoint. I was pretty impressed by that, but everything else was just ..
And the picture of the egg roll is misleading.“
