Owner Obi was polite, professional, and knowledgeable about the dishes. I walked in, ordered and waited about 15-20 minutes for goat soup, fufu and fried chicken. The quality is homemade. The space is simple and clean. I would recommend going there to dine out with family, etc.

Amazing West African food! Everyone loved their food which was fresh and delicious and the flavors and spices were off the chart excellent. I was not super hungry so I just ordered the jollof rice and a side of spinach (WOW! I will have a difficult time ordering anything else) and I still have a whole other meal for today! Keobi will be going into our regular restaurant rotation.

I drive nearly an hour from Pittsfield for this food. My favorite is the Fufu and Okra! The gentlemen that work there are extremely kind and a really good conversation. I genuinely encourage folks to give this place a try if they’re trying to dabble into other cultures’ foods. As long as they’re around, I’ll continue supporting this business!
