"Potato Greens with White Rice very flavorful. Chuck-Rice/White Rice/Gravy also flavorful. Wish it was more gravy like but still great!"
"I decided to get this place to try after I saw the reviews, but the food was horrible not gonna lie. I eat African food all the time and this place was not it for me. The taste was strong like it just was not a good balance of herbs used, and the palm oil taste like motor oil. I would not order from here again. "

"The lamb dibi is on point! AND packed well in butchers paper, then placed in a container. GOODT. Has flavorful spice. Rice is spicy but good!"
"This was my first time ordering from this restaurant, and unfortunately, it will probably be my last. I was really disappointed with the food. The platter was so overly spicy that all I could taste was heat—I couldn’t enjoy any of the actual flavors. It was so spicy that I ended up leaving the entire platter and all of the rice untouched. The fish was edible, but it was very bland and lacked seasoning or flavor. It’s frustrating to spend money on a meal that I couldn’t even enjoy. The one positive thing I can say is that the portions were very generous. Unfortunately, a large portion doesn’t make up for food that isn’t enjoyable to eat. I really think this meal could have been much better."

"Everything was absolutely tasteful, I ordered the Okra Soup with fufu ( I think Yam( it was a purple ish color) amazing food, amazing service i will be com back regularly"
"I alway appreciate a detailed review. The Gbegiri & Ewedu was on point—taste, meat assortment… chef’s kiss. (Ibadan inastraite/Skye Bank amala spot level approved… if you know, you know. I’m not even going to get started on Lagos spots) The flavor of the stews, the consistency of the gbegiri and amala… hnmmmm... joyyyyy....all my senses were awakened. The assorted meat....everything about this was fantastic. The portions were good, and I already know what I’ll be ordering the next time I come to Philly. However, the jollof rice was disappointing… My 12 yr old can make better in her sleep. It was undercooked (and I do not eat soft rice) and tasted like someone just threw some oil, red coloring, salt, and rice into a pot. I’ll give the benefit of the doubt that the order was later in the day, because for a place that makes such amazing Gbegiri & Ewedu, and had great reviews for their Jollof rice, this must be an anomaly. When I visit Philly again, I’ll order it one more time to confirm."

The Awaze Tibs wasn't overly spicy, but had a nice kick to it, which I appreciated. The Veggie Sambusa / የአትክልት ሳምቡሳ was good too. I highly recommend this place!

The chicken was tender and moist. The plantains were set and cooked to perfection. The rice was heaven. Will be ordering again very soon."
"The rice was a little different than yesterday and that's what I was craving however, it still was delicious is best to get the whole chicken and the trimmings as opposed to what I ordered yesterday a half of a chicken you get so much food and it was very flavorful. This is far better than the chain Peruvian restaurant that begins with the letter S."
