Worst place to order food from, I tried twice to order the guy hung up the phone me twice. Trying to be funny you can keep your food, I’ll try another African restaurant that knows how to treat new customers.

I ordered the Oxtails, jolloff rice, plantains and cabbage… it did not disappoint! From the tender meat and perfectly cooked rice it was a welcomed experience! Solomon even went and got me some ice for my drink! The waiter was great and even took the time to demonstrate to my dinner partner how to properly cleanse her hands and enjoy her Fudu and egusi soup!! The whole atmosphere was welcoming and I’ll will be back!!

This establishment really played with me and I will never go back! I went to this place Saturday night and the cashier seemed overly nice when I came to pick up my food that I called in to order.. so gave him my card to pay, he puts it in the card reader and it legit takes 5 minutes for the system to take the card ig, I’m not sure but it took way longer than anywhere I’ve ever visited. But anyways I got egusi soup which rung up as $21.07. I got my food and went home, mind you I was the last customer that night. So when I woke up the next morning I see that this establishment deducted 15 extra dollars from my card for a tip that I did not add!! So I called them immediately and no answer, I called 5 more times and still no answer so I pulled up. Once I get there, the same man who rung me up the previous night proceeds to not even greet me once I walked in which seemed weird bc the night before he was all happy and jolly. So once I walked in he immediately walked straight to the back as if he already knew what I was there for.. he went in the back for what felt like 10 minutes until my bf (who was with me) knocked on the kitchen door and someone else went back to get him. Once we spoke with him he basically made it seem like “it’s only $15” so I shouldn’t be doing the most.. I will never go here again, this has never happened ever. You guys have to watch those card machines where people can add tips later on the card account. But moral of the story, that was a lesson learned for me and I hope to prevent this from happening to anyone else.

Go to this place if you’re willing to spend the whole day waiting for your order. It’s my second time here and it’s going to be my last.The customer service is extremely poor.

This place could probably get 5 stars but today was my first time going. I ordered the jollof rice with goat and they gave way too much rice and only two pieces of the goat meat. I waited about 45 minutes which isn't bad as long as the food is on point. I'll try it again.
I have never had African food until I found this place and boy, was it incredible!

This is my go to when I need a little cultural dose of goodness. I'm a new York native so I can safely say I'm a cultural foodie. I have been here a few times and its always a delight. I feel like this place doesn't get the attention it needs as far as customer flow but its on its way!
Vegetarian options: Yes
Parking: Wide variety of parking
The food was pumped with flavor and presend it very nicely. They have a variety of foods you can't get at similar restaurants in the area. It was a bit expensive though.

Friendly service and really good food !
This place is a gem. The owner and staff were very courteous & took time to explain various dishes. We ordered the whole fried fish & jallop rice & everything was delicious!! We will definitely be back.
The money I spent didn’t add up to what I received. I got the beef & sauce with fufu I only had 3 pc of meat in my tray. I won’t even start on the other order I had, if you gone charge $15 + for a meal serve a meal not a snack.
