The restaurant is known for its authentic West African flavors, with a menu that caters to both meat-eaters and vegans.

My husband and I agree that this is some of the most delicious food we’ve ever eaten in our lives. Everything is fresh and delicious, great variety

The food was amazing!!! Thanks

My best friend and I stopped in for lunch and had an amazing experience! The gentleman that helped us took his time to go through the menu items with us since it was our first time. I had chicken and my friend had the snapper, both were delicious! Highly recommend, also very clean restaurant.
