Food is yummy welcome is warned and believe me the taste is incredible. You feel like as home and you have plenty choices od foods. Do and enjoy yourself
This was my first time visiting the establishment. Upon arrival, the cashier was engaged in a loud conversation with someone in the kitchen, but I chose to wait patiently for my order. When it came time to pay, she told me the total was $43, and I was prepared to pay that amount. However, I noticed that she had mistakenly entered $0.43 into the system.
I tried to bring the error to her attention, but I’m not sure if there was a language barrier. Instead of acknowledging the mistake calmly, she responded in French, telling me not to give her a headache and insisting the total was correct. After a brief argument, she finally realized and corrected the error. Still, rather than apologizing for her unnecessary comment or behavior, she ignored me completely.
Many people in my situation might have just paid the incorrect amount and walked away, but I chose to be honest. Unfortunately, I was met with rudeness and poor customer service. Because of this experience, I will not be returning.
Let me know if you'd like a version with a more formal tone (like for a complaint email) or a softer tone.

I’m a loyal customer been ordering consistently since the first time I had their food the food is Amazing but their customer service is horrible I placed an order today for peanut butter soup which comes w fufu instead of calling to tell me they had no more fufu they wanted to be money hungry n confirm my order and give me whatever I do not recommend spending ur money here good food terrible customer service
This place is a -10/10. The place is extremely dirty. The staff is extremely rude and impatient. They charged me more than the menu price. When I brought it up to the cashier. She said “idk what website you saw, but that is not the price” as if I was lying. They charged me over 10% in what they call “tax” while NJ state tax is only 6.625%. The combination of these things made the experience very unenjoyable. I will not be going back. And I suggest you do not visit this establishment. Disgrace to all Africans.
Deliciouse food I highy recommend thi place clean food and fresh 😋
This place is completely FRAUD. My people please check your receipts and bank transactions , make sure everything is good and right before stepping out of the place. They ALWAYS over charge you . And when you catch them and make the calculations, they act like it was a mistakes. That is a LIE, they know exactly what they are doing. Until someone reports this place to the authorities, they will never learn. This happened to me about 3 different times. I know what am saying . Do not fall a victim.

Food is good but they are stingy with everything. If you see the sauce container and how much sauce they give you will laugh. I’ve also never had attieke with the plantain not included. $9 for plantain is criminal and greedy.

Food is fair for the price. Customer care and attitude is crazy. How can someone attend to a customer while eating and licking fingers while talking with food in her mouth. Disgusting and barbarism

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

First let’s start with the way they treat American customers absolutely disgusting. To think that these foreigners would come into an urban community with hopes of incorporating their cuisines and culture with a positive light this isn’t the eatery to try. Now aside from my experience as a paying customer let’s discuss the food. I have eaten jolloff rice from many ethnical backgrounds This locations host by far the worst. Rice very over cooked and the sauce was extremely ruined with a burnt taste. I’m not sure if everyone gets this experice or again maybe it was just because of my being American and the back and fourth that transpired over me voicing the sheer rudeness and lack of customer concern I witnessed firsthand as well as just a by stander to other American customers I watch change their mind about shopping due to this .Lastly let’s discuss pricing it was 22$ for a whole chicken and a half of scoop of rice if I didn’t pay in advance I would of shopped elsewhere as well
0 out of 10 do not reccomend! My 1st time and absolutely horrible experience due to POOR customer service. Noone greets you when you walk in. Sat at a table for 5 minutes, noone ever said may I help you or address me as a customer. I get up walk on the other side, then there's a woman with an attitude barking for me to come around to the other side. Bow I'm asking question about the menu (1st time customer) & she has an attitude explaining wat the items are.. smfh if u didn't want 2 come 2 work 2day. U shouldve stayed home!!! Needless to say I'll be waiting until tomorrow when the other african cuisine spot up the block opens.. smfh
