I had the fried tilapia with plantain and it was just perfection! Perfectly cooked and seasoned. Kurdos to the chef! I had it as take out. I totally recommend it.

Wow! Great food, great staff and nice area to sit! We had the fried rice and the joloff rice with chicken. Joloff rice was hands down a winner! The chicken was fried, juicy and tender! We will be going back for another meal!

The food is incredible and the service and atmosphere are exactly what you should expect from a place of this style. Quick and home style deliciousness without the bells and whistles that would be considered "trying to hard" in this instance. Great value for the portion size. I will have at least another meal leftover and I'm not upset about it. I could eat this every day. KEEP IT UP!

The interior design is very lovely. I had fun chatting with the lady at the front when I had concerns about the ingredients for the egusi soup. She took her time to expain what they use. It was my first time trying and it was delicious. The turkey wing was just over the top amazing.
