“Actually, I'm originally from Kenya and I like West African food; I stumbled on this place by accident, the word Buffet meant something to me, I decided to check it out,little did I know that it's an African cuisine; Gad and her mom were very nice to me, I picked all types of food on the Buffet to carry home into my fridge. The food is GREAT, Togo and Ghanaian food Gad said, the service is GREAT, very friendly people; at the end of eating a little taste of it, I forgot my important documents in there; that means the food was just too good until I lost my memory for a bit. Gad is real great in interacting with customers, like daughter like mom. I'll go back to pick upbmy documents and eat some more. I give it 5 star in all categories, you should check it out asap.

“Im sure the owner remembers me. (She remembers me as (Dre) the Amazon guy 😭) When you first walk in it might seem as if she has an attitude but she’s actually pretty nice when you talk to her and she even jokes around. I Discovered this place while doing doordash. Decided to come back again and try the Egusi and pounded yams as suggested by my best friend who is Yoruba. I got the assorted meats and everything was super spicy just like i liked it. I even had meat pie on the side. I’ll just remember to specify skipping the Pomo as I cant seem to like it, but the catfish, tilapia and goat buss 😋 I will def be coming back again ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This restaurant has great budget tasty african meal. I sat and observed for a minute. The Mommy of the plc needs more support, consistency with her helpers and the quality and service would improve. On great days this plc is a 10 and when they're overwhelmed it also would affect the quality.“
