Good food. My wife and I enjoyed our meal when we visited. The lady tilling the counter was friendly, the tilapia was great, the banku could use some improvement, but overall we had a good time.

The owners were very thoughtful, kind and accommodating to me and my partner. We came to visit this restaurant for a first time around and 12p. The head chef was walking through the restaurant and told us that he was grilling the jerk chicken on a barbecue out back.
"Lots of restaurants will sell you their jerk chicken but will actually prepare it in the oven instead of over a fire grill--the way jerk chicken is supposed to be made," he said. "We make all our jerk chicken fresh and over the wood fired grill we have going out back."Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - charles A.Corona, NY306112May 3, 2023
Great Ghanaian food; I traveled from Queens to get some amazing food! I enjoyed the okra stew and the fish. Tasty!

My experience there was horrible some young lady came from outside asking her Auntie was she ok & my look was why wouldn't she be I'm here to eat not fight The food was peppered down the lamb was tough and they were very rude the establishment was dark and dirty West Africans really have a problem with African Americans I could go on and on and on they were just RUDE & I'm giving them one star because I made it out of that dump safe

I really enjoy that the food you receive here is consistent. The menus has less than 30 items so it's very to mess up and I appreciate that.
This location is better than the location on white plains road. It's larger and the staff is much nicer. I would recommend they invest in decor as it's really feels like a grab and go. It is better now that they have the outdoor dining.

I am soooooo disappointed, sad and am even crying, I spent a total of $60 and yet the food tasted sooo extremely bad, I vomited on one taste. I threw away everything I bought cos my system was irritated. I will never forget this resturant as long as they don't change thier name! The is the worse of all restaurants.

First time trying authentic African food and was very impressed by their flavors! Ordered lamb stew and fried fish and gosh it was great! As a first time comer, the owner was also kind enough to introduce all the foods for us and gave us great recommendations! I have to say though, their portion size is so generous that we took the leftover back home and took three meals to finish!!

First time trying African food, great experience. Wanted to try a traditional dish and was recommended the fufu, and it was delicious! A community oriented restaurant, good music, down to earth staff and friendly regulars. Will definitely return to try more food

I visited this restaurant last week Friday after suffering from a weeklong craving for jollof rice. A few of my West African friends said they tried it and it was pretty good. I ordered the jollof with beef and plantain. I enjoyed my meal for the most part. I just think the chef is a little heavy handed with the oil. Overall nice flavors. This is a cute place to stop in a grab a bite. We chose to dine downstairs where they had nice music playing and a full bar. I prefer the vibe downstairs. The customer service was good.
Just a heads up. This is a cash only establishment. They do have a atm in the front and there is a chase bank across the street.
I can see myself revisiting this place.Helpful 5Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
