first time ever trying this kind of food and first time visiting this place. both the food and the service was amazing. the chef or owner?both? was absolutely fantastic, funny, and an amazing cook. definitely recommend.
I had the egusi with pounded yam and the jollof rice with beef and plantains, and everything was delicious. The food tasted like a home-cooked meal—fresh, flavorful, and made with care.
The owners showed warm and friendly hospitality. If you're looking for authentic, west African food— I recommend paying Asanka Local a visit.
Very good service. Food taste very good. Highly recommended🤗🤗
