"I'm not sure which I'm impressed with more, their amazing drinks & snacks (even my daughter said the blended Lavender drink was the best smoothie she'd ever had), or their extraordinarily awesome staff. The care put into every order I've gotten really shows.
And the Turkish coffee, which I didn't expect to like, is simply fantastic."
"I received no straws with my order, my Pistachio + Rose Latte was very grainy and not smooth at all, found myself choking on the grains/bits of tiny pistachio, and it did not have the rose petals on the surface. I ordered an everything bagel with cream cheese and it was tiny. It was a rip off for the price and it was very chewy. "

"Real authentic food. I love The Fish was sweet and had a special taste to it with the fresh crunchy veggies... boom :) The rice was a bit dry and could've been a little more portion but overall the flavor and freshness was amazing I enjoyed can't wait to order again. I shared with my family and they loved it as well. "
"The red snapper was barely large enough to feed two people AND it was dry/overcooked. I can do much better for $32. Do yourselves a favor and try the Nile's snapper (when it's available) and take some notes. I gave two stars because my husband liked the plantains. They were good, but I prefer a bias cut. The Djolof rice was just ok. "

"Came in a super small 4 oz container for $25. And did not include my beverage. Items are always missing or the soup is filled with bones, fat or the heart, liver and other organs. There’s literally no meat in this pepper soup.

"the oxtail is so delicious its my staple dish from here they are always full of flavor and very tender i just wish they gave more than 2 or 3 pieces in a portion or that they were bigger but with prices i undrstand i just wish they had an option where u can add on to get extra oxtail and extra gray when ordering with wakyee.
The waakye is very flavorful and not as dry as other restaurants however i have ordered the suya chicken multiple times (4-6 times) and literally each time i recieved it differently..a couple times i was given a completely different protein just with suya powder on it and the other times the chicken was cooked different and they use different ckicken as wel (party wings vs drums. etc) The egusi stew and fufu is delicious, I have also order that dish multiple times and it is ALWAYS PERFECT the blended herbs with the fish is 🔥 always delicious. I want to give it 5 because the flavor is great however the inconsistency can be very disappointing when ordering and not knowing if it will be correct or not."

"The ONLY reason this isn't a 5 star review is because it was a little pricey especially for the portion sizes. Specifically the Mac and cheese. But the flavor was really really good on everything! The Spicy Chicken Caesar Wrap was delicious. The 12 PERi Buffalo Wings & Chips were seasoned and had lots of sauce on them & the chips were crispy! The chicken tasted fresh and it was hot when it arrived . Definitely will be ordering here again! "
"I chose the sweet potatoes as a side to the 3 Chicken Thighs. Sweet potatoes were burnt to a crisp and hidden under other sides. Small portions for the price. Food containers are not completely full. Burnt food ruins the meal."

The Turkey and the Beef w/ Jollof is a winner."
"Jollof rice was soft and soggy, Goat meat was hard, overcooked and bland, chicken was bland with NO seasoning whatsoever. Out of everything the plantain might have been the worst. I could handcount the number of plantains (WHICH WAS 5 DOLLARS) and they were so thin it felt like I was eating a paper towel. Would not touch this Restaurant even if they offered me a meal for FREE.
