The food tastes better but the customer relationship is bitter;1. If you want to wait for at least an hour before you are served then go there.2. If you want to experience a direct insult/ confrontation from some of the cruel staff then go there.3. Don’t forget to insist on your receipts.

They charge for dining in fee which is $2. For each people. And they will never tell you until you ask.Most of the things I tried to order was not available. Fix your menu if you don't have them.Chicken was so dry and tough.The server talked to us in the middle of conversation. I had hard time to make my mind to bring up that sentence. And the server completely ruined it!I was asking my friend to pay for what she owed me.Also lastly, she threw up during the night after eating their food.

If you aren't African, then don't be plan on getting decent food or customer service. They are very very open with their hostility with Americans. It takes forever to get your food and in the middle of the day they were out of everything. They gave me what they wanted. Never going back after waiting over an hour for my food and it was cold.

I should have known better from the look of the place and the area. They are way overpriced. I actually think they are price gouging with Americans. The meat was old and hard. The lady taking my order needs a customer service class. They charged my card twice. I reached out to them, and they promised a refund, then stopped responding when I tried to check on why I never received the refund. Do not eat here. Go to the area by the mall.It's sad because I want to support people of color, but we are so brainwashed into focusing on greed and biases. We are stronger together.

The customer service was awesome. I received my foot pretty fast. It was hot, fresh, and full of flavor. It was my first time having egusi soup with goat and fufu. I truly enjoyed it. I also let my brother in law try it and he said he will be ordering it soon. I can’t wait to eat here again and I’m grateful for their business.

Only 2 stars for this. Had high hopes for it and excited. I walked in 2 young men were finishing ordering, I ordered 2 combos. Simple jerk chicken and jollof rice with fish to go. While I was ordering the guy didn't see like he wanted me there. 4 people came in, ordered, got their food, and left , the 2 men finished eating and got up. Then I got my food when the place cleared.. an hour later. (I'm not the normal client complexion for this area)... I get home 8 minutes later. The food is room temp, stale, smells old, and is hard, the fish was only a bone skeleton with mabey 2 bites of meet. The Jollof rice was so hard and burnt I had to cut it with a knife (you could tell it was burnt in the bottom of the pan and very old). The cabbage seemed like it was in the bowl for a few days and just scooped out.. the only thing that was edible was the fufu (still cold and seemed not all the way cooked)... the red rice and beans where not all the way cooked. The jerk chicken was okay. More bone than meat. I was really hoping for so much better especially for the money
