What our guests say
I dont usaul leve reviews, but that would be an inj to this restaurant . Best west African food I have ever had. Try the Grilled lamb (Dibi) with fried rice or the fried fish with Rice and lamb (thiebu Yap) and thank me later . They also serve large portions too. When they deliver my food, I tho I over ordered. Loved everything
Elve TOutstanding!! The flavor is impeccable, well seasoned. The portion is large/HUGE!! and worth it. Food was fresh. The oxtails were delicious, it is fatty but the meat is very tender. The jerk chicken was so good. It was grilled and charred. It was not dry. The rice was a little overcooked but it tasted great.
Kristina NLarge Jerk chicken was filled up the whole plate ! Very good spicy cabbage and the Strawberry cheesecake was good as well not too sweet have to have a bottle opener for the sprite but they will open it for you.
