Michael is one of the most humble, patient, and friendliest man I know. I reserved for 13 people but more people showed up and he still accommodated all of us. He made sure each and everyone one of us got what we desired and even made extra. God bless that man. Amazing food, especially the jollof rice!

I stopped by and ordered Peanut butter soup w/chicken, Egusi soup w/beef, and Jollof rice.
Immediately Chef Michael greeted me as if I were family. Very welcoming, and offered me some ginger juice while I waited for my order.

Typically, at other restaurants I have to order fufu or rice in addition to my soup/stew so I was impressed that it came with my order. Overall the food was the best I’ve tried in the local area! It didn’t taste rushed but fresh and made with love.

The attitude, the atmosphere, I can't really speak to the food as I immediately lost my appetite from the shockingly rude service....

First time trying egusi soup and fufu, it was amazing. Very generous portion, and authentic, fresh ingredients for a great price. And the owner is so sweet. I will be back very soon!

I’m not sure I can explain the delight I had dining here but I’ll do my best.

It was an absolute joy being able to eat what chef Micheal cooked up for us. Walking In, the establishment is actually in a good hall with other restaurants so you’ll want to head to the back left most stall. Chef Micheal was happy to explain his menu, dole out recommendations, and listen to preferences with food which is a level of service you don’t see honestly almost anywhere these days. We took a seat and waited a just a bit and the food was brought out. Per Micheal’s recommendation and it being our intro to Ghanaian food, we got Jollof rice with chicken, Egusi, peanut butter soup with chicken and fufu, an extra side of plantains and a ginger juice.

The ginger juice (coming from someone who lives a strong ginger juice) was lovely. Very punchy, fresh, and hits you right in the back of the throat. Jollof rice with chicken was excellent. The chicken fell off the bone which was great. It was moist and a little bite of rice, chicken, and plantain all mixed together was perfectly balanced. Egusi was also great, the greens were tender and the meat was a nice textural contrast to the greens. Personally I liked the peanut butter soup and fufu the best. The texture of the fufu was light and springy and perfect which was amazing paired with the soup and chicken.

I truly did not have a disappointing bite here and I am happy to recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a good meal. It was a treat to visit and I am looking foreword to my next visit.
