I was scared to eat here lol but the food was great. Suya tasted like that old school suya. Croaker stew tasted like aunties Christmas stew. The egusi was actually pretty good too!! We will be back. Only question for the suya is why are a lot of places not puttting the seasoning on the suya itself but leaving it on the side… I guess for the aunties and uncles watching their blood pressure .
