I had been wanting to try them for quite sometime, so glad I did the food was freshly made, delicious and a huge serving. That spinach was the best. Its spicy but so good. Our waitress was also the cook but she cooked that food to perfection! Even though they didnt have the drinks I wanted to order. I will return soon!

I asked if the Buffalo jollof rice was spicy and was told that it was not, but when I received it it was definitely spicy. It did taste good however it was just very spicy. The chicken is really good and flavorful though. Also, the egusi was extremely spicy too.

I’ve been a few times. My boyfriend and I loved the food. We got the chicken pepper soup with fufu, the egusi with beef and pepper soup with the chicken again our second time. My boyfriend has been back a few times without me. Unfortunately his last time being there Thursday 11/6 he got food poisoning. So we won’t be returning customers anymore. Also the service is ok. First time we came it was a male serving. Second time we came with our kids (group of 5) the lady serving seemed to be annoyed with our bigger group.

★★★★★ 5.0 Cheryl Bruder · Apr 2025

Very small restaurant but amazing food. We got the hot pepper soup with fufu, jollof rice with fish and waakye with fish. We also got a side of plantains. The atmosphere is cute and the music is thematic to the restaurant. Everything we got was flavorful and delicious. The service is a little slow but worth it because of how good the food is. The food was flavorful and spicey but not too spicey. It was just fantastic.

★★★★★ 5.0 Keasjah Collins · Apr 2025

Food was great! Waited a bit for our food but I think that’s because the food was fresh! Made to order. Service was ok they were nice but they kept disappearing into the back. We were like chasing them down to ask for more napkins and any extra we needed once we got our food. The aesthetic of the restaurant was really cute, but it was kinda cold. Also had to wait to order a drink from the bar because again, they kept going into the kitchen but DRINK WAS 10/10 once we got it though. Good music while we waited! 👌🏻
