“STUNNING SERVICE AND DELICIOUS FOOD!!! I came here to celebrate my friend’s return from China, and we had an amazing experience from start to finish. We were warmly welcomed and greeted by Joshua and Rhsea, who provided incredible service. The food was absolutely out of this world, super tender, flavorful, and incredibly fragrant. Thank you so much for making our celebration so special! Highly recommended! 😎 🔥 🍛“

“If you want a meal that feels like a trip back home, this is it. I came across this place last year and decided to try it, as I was looking for an African restaurant with good food and this one is close to where I live. I was pregnant at the time and oh, I was absolutely obsessed with their okra sauce. I ordered every meal with it, nothing else could hit the spot! Everything is cooked so fresh and you can almost taste the care that went in preparing the meals. Yes, it might be a bit more than your average takeout, but for a true taste of home that's this delicious, it is worth every single penny. I tell all my friends they HAVE to try it. If you're looking for authentic African soul food in Ottawa stop searching and just order or better still you can dine-in.“

“Flavours were fantastic and the service was warm and inviting (contrary to some reviews we read prior to going)and the only draw back was the place looks like it could use a little tlc. My family took me there for my birthday dinner (2A 2C under 6) and we walked in to a bouquet of mouthwatering smells and the courteous and friendly staff directed us to choose what ever table we wanted. The restaurant to be honest, looked like it needed a polish and the floor could use a good mopping. That was the ONLY negative to our experience there. After talking to the mgr who walked me through the menu and gave lots of great information and suggestions we placed our order. He was even kind enought to wish me a happy birthday and brought me a juice as a little something! Please understand that time relaxing and talking while waiting for the food is part of the African restaurant experience so don't be expecting toget it on your table in 5 min. If you want that go to McD's! When the food came (2 combo platters) it was beautifully plated (I wish I thought to take pics!) and with a bowl of delicious jolof rice. FYI Ghanian jolof is different in the flavour and "sauciness" and this Nigerian jolof was fantastic of its own right being light, fluffy, and with a beautiful smoky note. The chicken and goat were amazing! Tender, juicy, and bursting with flavour I only wish we had ordered more! The beef was a little overcooked comparitively. I will say that there is a bit of heat to the dish (a tiny little bit too much for the kids even though they didn't stop eating! hahaha) The take out and delivery that was coming and going throughout our meal was nonstop which just goes to tell you how good the food is. Overall if you decide to check this place out you won't be dissapointed. The food, service, and friendliness of staff are amazing! We'll be back!“
