What customers say?

“ Really enjoyed their food. The honey suya wings are incredible, and the Egusi soup(stew?) And okra soup were delicious. The wings come with rice, which I declined. The super nice lady at the windows looked at me kinda odd when I said I didn't want rice(carbs). So I asked, "is it deliciously spiced West African rice?" Anyway, it was delicious, so don't skip the Jollof rice! The flavors and spices are so spot on, in everything we tried! 5 stars!!! ”

“ WOW, WOW, WOW… AMAZING FOOD!! I decided to try this place today and it was well worth it! They weren’t located at the cricket and moved to the gas station down the road. I order the okra soup with chicken and fufu and it was DELICIOUS. It tastes authentic and the food was ready quick. The lady working there was so nice and welcoming, she gave us samples to try the soups. For the price of $16, you get two servings worth. Amazing food, amazing service, I will DEFINITELY be back!!! ”
