Tried this place out recently, and despite them not having our first choice (they had run out of a few things), it was pretty good. Regardless, looking forward to going back!

Came here with friend. Treated them to west African food for their birthday. We arrived around 730 which was right on time. After we ordered our food on the kiosk and set down a big crowd came in. So many people came to order food before the night was out. The food was delicious. The white suya sauce was good with hot drumsticks. I was super impressed with the food. Even my friend. I also had cornbread with my meal and the corn bread was delicious too.
Both of our food together was about 40 to 45 dollars. Very reasonable.
When you dine in. Your food does come on a sturdy paper plate. Felt authentic and home vibes.
You can see the food being prepared which I love so much.
Unsure if they have a restroom for the public.

Food is good, but service is horrible. Food is never ready remotely on time. Will always show up after the pick up time and have to wait 20+ minutes.
Ordered delivery and waited 1.5 hours and never got food.
Such a shame, good food, if you can ever get it

I ordered online, and my food arrived fresh and hot, which I really appreciated.
I tried the Beef Suya (spicy) platter with plantain, cabbage, onion, and jollof rice. The jollof rice was definitely the best part it was flavorful and perfectly cooked. The beef Suya was tender with a nice texture and good spice, though I found it a bit too salty. I have a high spice tolerance, but even for me the heat built up and made it tough to finish, so I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone sensitive to spice.
Portion-wise, I wish there had been more plantain and onion, as the serving felt small compared to the generous amount of rice.
I also ordered a chicken Suya leg on the side, and in my opinion, the chicken Suya was much better than the beef.

Located in northern liberties, so parking can be a challenge. I wanted to like this food. The price isn’t awful, but it’s not the great either. I paid about $15 for the steak bowl with jollof and plantain, and then another $4 for a meat pie. Everything was lackluster. The meat pie ingredients tasted muddled, I did enjoy the crust tho. The jollof rice flavor was mild, I wish it stood out more… as in more tomato taste, more richness… anything to resemble Nigerian jollof. The steak suya was fine… it was a bit tough, and majority of the flavor came from the sprinkled suya spice over top. The plantain was light skin and hard and they weren’t very sweet. I’ve been meaning to try the restaurant and I finally did. I’m not impressed.

I came about an hour before closing and ordered a shrimp suya bowl with a side of plantain and broccoli. While I loved the rice and the white sauce, the broccoli and shrimp were almost inedible. The broccoli tasted really old and mushy, and it was really over seasoned. The shrimp was cooked well but it was also heavily over seasoned so I couldn’t really enjoy it. I’d try this place again earlier in the day, maybe the quality would be better, but only the jollof rice was really up to my expectations (I’m West African)
