So the food was decent tasting, but the amount you get for the price you pay I got two soups, and they were only a third full and I paid a little over 50 I could have easily went to Texas road house for steak or longhorn for lamb chops for better quantity of food for two! Maybe if the bowls was bigger or of bowls full the stars would be better#1st timer and I dont know if I would go back!

Food is delicious. Atmosphere is awkward. It's quiet and almost no one there, wasn't even sure it was open when I walked in. I also felt like I didn't get a lot of food for the price. $20+ for two skewers of beef and some fried plantains, even though what I ordered I thought was supposed to come with couscous or rice. It took awhile to come out already and I was too hungry to have it fixed. What I had was really good. I will probably get takeout next time.

Peanut soup and fufu was DELICIOUS. Came here for a medical trip for a loved one and wanted to try this spot. I was not disappointed, I got it yesterday and had my sister get it again for us today! We will be returning ☺️

I ate there and I waited an hour for my food and he forgot most of what I ordered!! When my husband orders good he waits an extra 30 minutes to pick it up and still ends up waiting another 30 minutes it’s cold and lousy

They don’t keep to time. On google they say they are open from 12noon -7pm on Saturday. It’s 1231pm, still not open and don’t pick calls.Bad for business.

Very overpriced. Very small portions. Menus are not correct. Expect a 30-60 min wait for absolutely empty place. Just don’t.

Most excellent ?. Good food takes time, so don't be put off by the wait. My first time here and had the jerked chicken. Delicious. Lady at the counter was most hospitable.

To D D who wrote a review two months ago, I hope you know (and to anyone who might read her reply and need a second opinion) 45 minutes minimum is actually a good wait time compared to the average restaurants around Augusta like Texas Roadhouse for example with even wait times I've experienced coupling up to almost 3 hours, especially since other reviews call her a one woman show. Texas Roadhouse is still a good restaurant, some might argue much better, but I just needed an example. I don't know why you're expecting fast food. Additionally, it's pretty bigoted to say East African establishments are more preferable than other African restaurants that are likely to be West African. It just sounds like ignorance of an American who thinks they can choose their culture, but that's just me. Hey, you might just have a bias because your ancestors are East African, even if that's unlikely. Instead of traveling to Atlanta, actually travel to a specific place in East Africa, they obviously have more to offer there. It's not hard to look up about wherever you want to visit, we live in an age of the easiest ways to get information, the digital age. Like, two clicks away from being able to get monstrous amounts of info.That's all I had a problem with.

They gave me only three tiny little plantains, the rice was mediocre, and didn’t fill the jellof rice enough. I paid in total $16.80! What a ripoff!

Entree was great, beef and rice had superb flavor.My issue was I ordered and was told it would take a bout 35 minutes for the food to come out. I was ok with that. But my food actually came out 75 minutes after I had ordered. 35 minutes I can deal with, 75 minutes is a little absurd, especially seeing how the beef patty is literally the ones you find in the frozen foods at Walmart and CostCo.That said, the food was amazing.
