I walked in superrrrr excited to try the fufu and egusi because I had some over a year ago and I really enjoyed it and I tried this place so I could experience that same joy I had before. The lady helping me was nice and I appreciate her but the food was terrible. It looked nothing like it did the last time I got it or how it usually looks online, it looked like straight up collard greens with a side of egusi! The fufu that I tried tasted so weird and even had aluminum or something on top of it. Great service and im sure theres great good because I went with someone else and they got something different and they thought it was great, but the egusi and fufu here was NOT it.

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.

Went to Yum village today for Squash the Beef and while waiting I remember Yum village has the yam soup I wanted to try so I got a bowl and I try fish stew & plantain fufu. Never had fish stew or the fish in the stew (salt fish and herring) also never have had fufu well the fufu with the stew was tasty party. Yam soup it was unexpectedly very tasty it was sweet from the yams but hearty. Can’t wait to go back and try other dishes. Whoever read this go try it for yourself you won’t be disappointed!!

Visited here for the first time with my partner on her lunch break! We tried the Jerk Chicken per the recommendation of the worker, which was tasty but too spicy for my low tolerance. I loved the balanced sweetness of the honey mustard sauce, chickpeas, and coconut rice. Air quality stayed below 1000 while I was there midday on Thursday as people generally came and left. I want to try the other sauces and proteins and would love to come back!
