Fried Kidney Beans and Rice ??? So good and fresh! They gave me so much. Oh my goodness, it’s so good! Real authentic African food. I want to hug the chef! I can’t wait to try some other dishes.

Asked for kidney beans they gave me cassava leaf. When I called they didn't offer reimbursement and they expected me to drive 45 minutes to exchange it.

This is the only place me and my boyfriend go to get our African food. Today when I went I ordered fried kidney beans and an order of potato greens. I noticed when I got home that they gave me cassava leaf and potato greens. I called them and the lady asked me to describe the girl who took my order and when I told her, she just said “ohhhh I’m sorryyyy” in a nonchalant tone. So I asked her are they going to refund me back for the kidney beans that I did not get. She told me that I could bring one of the soups back to get the correct food. I live 40 mins away and that was an inconvenience for me and they did nothing to try to accommodate me. Personally I don’t like places that take food back because they will give it out to the next customer and they don’t know if someone ate from that food or not. Nasty!! Will not be going back here

So my good good girlfriend put me on to this place. The check rice is very good. Also, the potato greens is good as well. What I don't like is the fact that every time I order the regular potato greens they always gives me all chicken. When it is suppose to come with the cow skin. Every time I go to check my food and tell them my order is wrong. They always act like they have an attitude. The customer service at this establishment is freaking horrible. Not only that they be acting like you did something wrong when you tell them your order is messed up. I spend a whole lot of money in this place and I don't appreciate being treated poorly. Not only that it's extremely cold in there. The owner needs to check the workers because etiquette in this place is a mess. After awhile I don't care how good the food is. I will no longer be spending my hard earned money in this place until they get better with the customer service and stop trying to keep the cow skin for themselves. I actually would appreciate it if I can get 2 to 3 pieces of cow skin in my order and not just 1 piece with 3 pieces of dry fish and 2 and half pieces of chicken for $17. Then when I asked can I just order another potato greens without rice they gone tell me it was $15. So if I'm paying $15 just for the potato greens don't you think I deserve more meat than what your giving me?? I'm just saying. The food is good though. The customer service is horrible.

So let me say this when the food is good it’s good but when it’s not it’s NOT! On top of that their customer service is Horrible. Especially the lady with the blonde shortcut She don’t say hello she don’t say thank you or nothing. Just hang up in ya ear. Don’t greet you person when you pick up ya food she’s just stand there and look at you. Literally!! I’ve gave this place many chances more than I would other establishments on the strength that they a black owned business but i’m so done. I will take my money elsewhere and get my cassava, potato’s greens and snapper

OMG, don't go there.If there was an option for -0 I will put it on here.I came into town from Minnesota and thought I could get Minnesota classy Liberian foods, this was overly disappointing.1. Hygiene is POOR!It's extremely dirty, walls falling apart, tables dirty, I had to clean before we could even sit in there.2. Food too long time to be prepared. One of the items I wanted to order was out, which was fine. Then, the fish was bad but they still served it. The green pees and mayo was bad and stunk very bad when I opened the lid.3. Taste of food was awful. Am used to eating great Liberian meals in Minnesota and thought I could get something similar, I was totally disappointed. Even the Fried plantain was raw and hard in the inside.4. They don't have cups, silverwares or napkins. When I asked, the rude staff told me, their customers don't eat inside, they just buy their foods to-go. I wanted to drink anything from their fridge, I will have to drink directly from the bottles. I had to drive to a dollar store that was a block away to buy items for my family to eat with.5. Staff was flat affect, rude and cared less. I paid $83 for 3 foods that I was not able to anything except for dry acheke and sliced raw onions.NOT A PLACE TO EAT AT ALL.

The young lady was very rude, she didn't even greet us when we walked in and she just stared at us with no acknowledgement until I said hello and still nothing. Well we continue to order the jollof and chicken when we received our order the was 17$ the chicken was ice cold. We will never eat here again and we recommend you shouldn't either.

The rudest customer service ever.. You will not imagine!! Its like you came to a wedding with no invitation!!... I wish there's another nearby African restaurant but its the only option in this area.

The meal is fine when it is freshly prepared, but because it is cooked in big quantities and frozen, it spoils quickly. I've had beef that tasted incredibly sour and made me feel ill more than once.You won't know until you reach home or if you opt to eat in your car whether there is more oil than actual food in the food you order.One of the girls that works at the front desk who always has a hat on and AirPods in; she has an attitude and presents herself in an unflattering way with her facial expressions.I will no longer spend money here and I will be learning to cook my own meals

Order potato greens from here yesterday and I was really disappointed. It didn’t taste fresh that all and to be honest the meat taste like it was sour like it’s been in the fridge for a week or so and they just reheated it and gave it to me, really wish I could get a refund ? ☹️
