So I was in Staten Island and craving African food. This place had great google reviews... I had to try it myself, stop in ask questions, and try it!!! Mona is the life line and you can taste her passion in her food... she cooks from her heart and wants everyone to experience her craft. The spice literally has flavor!

I love love love this place! The food is great and service is amazing. The portions are very pleasing, and the taste is consistent! I've traveled all the way from upper Westchester just to have lunch at this location! Monas food is definitely cooked with love and you can taste it in every dish! You better get there early because the food goes fast, sometimes it takes a minute but it's well worth the wait.

Delicious food. I got oxtail, rice and beans and Mac and cheese. All excellent. Oxtail was tender and fell off the bone. Loved the flavor of the rice. The Mac and cheese and the cheesy crust on top that I love. Nice portion size too.

Absolutely delicious. West African influenced dishes, tantalizing to the taste buds. Awesome service! The owner and her staff are always friendly and knows their customers.

The food here is Good. Pricey for a small portion. Sometimes it can be too greasy. But overall it's good. Staff not very welcoming.
Food is EXCELLENT , flavorful and affordable! Get there early tho because the food goes ! This is one place on the Island you MUST TRY !

three stars because honestly the food is good , but a few things that are shady about this place 1. If your not a regular customer expect Doris to give u a smaller portion than everyone else who dines frequently and is friendly with her ,standing in line watching her serve as you wait for your turn is a clear opportunity to observe her doing this right in front of your face she done it to me before so I figure I'd order a large n see if that made a diff but no it didn't ,still shorted me 2. Ask for a receipt ! I ordered a large spinach w white rice ( she will give you a ton of rice so she can skimp on the main dish and your side)w a Mac n cheese side (which she gave me less than I paid for) and her help rang me up as a more expensive dish not what I actually ordered, I asked for a receipt and he owed me four dollars and was so embarrassed and caught off guard at the request of a receipt he didn't even press me for the all of the taxes owed . Good food , crooked people . I don't feel right supporting her knowing she does this intentionally so I will not be back, but best of luck to her .

The food selection is good and taste even greater . My favorite two Dishes are the spinach and cassava leaf.

The best food I've eaten in the area. All of the staff is always so pleasant every time I go. The j*** chicken, curry chicken, oxtails, spinach, and mac & cheese are my favorites!
