Was in the area after work and decided to stop in and get some food. I’ve never had African food before and was excited to try some for the first time! I had the jollof rice with chicken and I can’t describe how amazing it was. Michael and his sister cooked an incredible dish for me with tons of flavor and a large portion. This is definitely a restaurant you’ll want to try out if you’re ever in the area! 5/5 across the board 😀

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

The service was exceptional, however the food was nasty. It looks good until you taste it. It’s possible that it was stale. I got the peanut soup and Jollof Rice with goat meat but I received chicken. I couldn’t even finish it and unfortunately had to throw it out. So disappointed that I wasted money.

Great service and authentic cuisine. Michael (owner or manager) kept me updated on the order and communicated effectively. The food was delicious and freshly made. It also did not take too long to come. The peanut soup was tasting with a good portion size. The chofi (turkey tail) was crispy, non greasy, and seasoned well. I will definitely return again.
