Amazing each time we go there. So well seasoned. If you're thinking about it you should get it... basically the lamp saka saka tastes like collard greens and neck bones but it's seasoned WAYYYYY better... eating it with the FuFu makes you so full. You'll be full for hours on end. So the $16 is sooo worth it honestly.

The CURRY STEW with Chickenn Yassa is SO good. 10/10. I 100% recommend that you try this if you don't try anything else. Paired with their house made house hibiscus juice, it's amazing. They are always consistent with the flavor and I will continue to order from this amazing restaurant.

I always enjoy oxtails maybe everybody changing seasoning. Always more than enough. I'm still going to get these Beef Oxtails whenever I order from here. The Vegetable Spring Roll are always fresh. The oxtails were a bit bitter this time.

the salmon wrap was well seasoned and perfectly proportioned. i didn't know the sweet potato fries would be more like candied yams, but I'm not mad. get the hibiscus slushie. it gets better after that first sugar shock.

The Vegan Quesadilla was delicious! It was a pick up order and stayed HOT until I got to my destination! This restaurant cooks with love. I could taste it! The Vegan Quesadilla is made with sausage, sautéed with onions and seasonings. Decadent for sure. I am not a big "drink" person. I normally just drink water because most drinks are too sweet. The House Honey Ginger Juice is soooo good. It's made with natural ingredients and the perfect amount of sweetness. The flavors of each ingredient compliment one another so well. I am so glad I tried this restaurant!
