“I took food to my job and they loved I brought a pan of yellow rice cabbage and a $20 pan of potato salad and took it to my job cause we had a birthday party for a coworker. They loved the food they never had it before I live in South Amboy but I’m from Newark work in Matawan at the nursing home, and they never had the flu before they loved it. Good job, kings.“

“Chef Monique & her team provide a culinary experience for your soul! The food we catered (Mac & cheese, greens & cabbage mix, along with jerk salmon) were all delicious with the perfect amount of heat. The dishes were beautifully presented for us upon pick-up to warm easily for our gathering with specific warming instructions to prevent drying out. Our family appreciated the hands that prepared our feast. Chef Mo goes out of her way to make sure details are met with a smile! I would highly recommend everything on the menu.
Thanks Chef Mo & your Team! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽“

“Dishes are not consistent. My meatloaf was burned so badly they put a lot of BBQ sauce on it to cover it up. This was done despite the fact that I requested no sauce. Next time I requested one blackened whiting dish and was given fried whiting.“

“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“

“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.“

“The cat fish sandwiches are to die for, however; the cat fish nuggets are even better...
It does not matter when you order them they are ALWAYS fresh!
The other food items are just as delicious...
The young man who cooks the food is mannererable, humbled, and kind. The young lady who takes the food orders are patient, kind, and humbled.
The atmosphere is less than desirable, but the food is definitely chefs' kiss!
Go and you will not be disappointed 💚“
