“Went to this restaurant for dinner on a week day. The place got a decent vibe and ambience. I ordered their lamb, chicken and goat items to try their all meat items. The food was severed at a good temperature. The tastes felt bit different than other food . Also I never tied African food before so don’t have experience with the authentic taste of it. The meat was tinder and juicy although was not familiar much with the taste.“

“awesome food and great service“
