Reviews

Went to this place because I wanted to try some Nigerian eats but it looks like it has so many different choices like a good variety of African eats which is better. We ended up ordering some fataya, Yassa Lamb, Dibi Lamb Senegal both with Djolof Rice and then we also had a side of plantains. Food was so busss and the serving was HUGE. Definitely try the lamb if you go here. Food was seasoned well. I definitely would come back in the future. VIBES WERE IMMACULATE. They played great RNB songs for me and my king whoever was on the aux that day was bangin! Anyways, 10/10. TRUST

I ordered the Yassa lamb with aloco (sweet plantains) via the Relish app which is what we have at work. It gets delivered to a floor in my building and we pick it up from there. The order was ready by 12:15pm, the temperature was hot. It is very tasty and a very good portion. I will have some reserved for dinner. It is only 4/5 stars because of the packaging. I now make this a crucial criterion in my reviews. But I wouldn’t hesitate to come to the restaurant and order more food!

Visiting from SC. The food was amazing, my first time trying West African food such as this. The fufu was as delicious and sweet and meshed amazingly with the sauce graine. The sauce graine was cooked to perfection with shrimp and beef! Would definitely recommend!
