I'm just going to be honest. I didn't like it. I had the white rice with stew. It had turkey meat and plantains on the side. I think it costs too much for what I got and the turkey and plantains did not taste fresh to me. It could have been fresh but it just didn't taste that way in my opinion. The place was clean. Customer service was ok but not great. My daughter had the jollof rice with chicken and plantains. I absolutely did not like that rice and neither did my daughter.
I ordered the spinach/vegetable stew with turkey, fufu, plantain and a side of jallof rice. The ladies at the counter were polite. The spinach stew was okay however: very salty as they used smoked turkey pieces not fresh turkey meat. Pretty disappointing as the smoked turkey in the stew was not edible and tough. The fufu was smooth. The jallof rice was okay: was expecting more spice and flavor. A little disappointing as I was looking forward to some tasty African food given I paid $34 including tip for one meal and a side of rice and no beverage. I may try the restaurant again as there are very few Arican restaurants near me. I'll be asking more questions when ordering for clarification.
Fufu was ok taste like box mashed potatoes and Egusi soup was barely warm had an after taste of rancid oils (used old oil); goat was old my daughter’s mixed meat had tripe not edible bc it was to tough to eat! I gotta say kinda disappointed they don’t offer ice water like every restaurant does you’re forced to pay for bottled water I DO NOT RECOMMEND prices are very high considering the quality Customer service kinda bland! Will not return Parking: A lot of parking available bc no customers at 1:00pm that says a lot an empty restaurant means…….. ? Not good!!
