I recently visited this African cuisine spot as I’m new to the community and was eager to support Black-owned businesses. The food was absolutely delicious! I ordered the curry goat and jollof rice. The curry goat was flavorful, tender, but didnt come with potatoes. The jollof rice, while a bit oily, still had a good taste.
However, the customer service could use improvement. When I arrived, there were three or four people ahead of me, but the space felt crowded,...

All of the food was fantastic along with the service!
Dietary restrictions: Their menu offers several different proteins and vegetarian options. I personally have a shellfish allergy, the staff was sure to avoid contamination and made recommendations from the menu as well.
