I was visiting New York from Florida and traveled two and a half hours to get here. I’ve never had Liberian food and I was excited to give them a try. I ordered the potato greens and the cassava leaf. I informed them that I would like to eat the cassava leaf at the restaurant and take the potato greens to go. The cassava leaf was exploding with flavors and was a bit spicy but nothing I couldn’t handle. It definitely reminded me of a Haitian cuisine called Lalo but one of the key differences were this was packed with a variety of meats and spicier. The staff was really nice as I interacted with them while I was there. However, I’m a bit disappointed because when I went to pay I reminded them again that I was going to be getting the potato greens to go and that I would need to pay for both

Had Liberian food today and was so excited. I was headed to a different restaurant but saw this Liberian restaurant with great reviews so I went. I’m part African and I want to try all the cuisines from Africa and this was my first try for Liberia 🇱🇷. I guess maybe they did not see me as African so there wasn’t much attention to me and I asked for a couple of things from the menu but they didn’t have it. End of convo. The one lady just shook her head and turned away and walked off. lol..but don’t be turned off! -Customer service looks different in diff parts of the world and I won’t take stars off for that- I told the lady I want to try something here so what do you have and explain it to me. Can you help me with the menu so she did come around and explain almost everything to me and I end

Food was good, but My mother and I ordered because I leaf And rice and the potato greens and rice. both meals came with mostly meat no greens which is very disappointing because that’s mainly what I want. I don’t even eat the meat for real and it’s very disappointed because we spent $60 because we also got the beef stick. Beef sticks were good but it’s just because I believe in potato greens like we haven’t even eaten it because it’s just all meat. now we wasted $60 so disappointing because I eat here often.

ALL THEIR FOOD IS SPICY!!! IT MAKES NO SENSE WHY NOT GIVE US THE CHANCE TO ADD OUR OWN SPICE🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️ AND THEN THEY DONT TELL YOU. ITS A GOOD THING I ASKED AFTER RECEIVING SPICY FOOD ( WHICH IVE HAD NUMEROUS TIMES BUT FROM ANOTHER PLACE WHICH ALLOWED CHOOSING IF YOU WANT SPICE OR NOT. THE DISH I ORDERE IS NOT TRADITIONALLY SPICY WHEN MADE IN THIS COUNTRY. BUT E V E R Y T H I N G IS SPICY AT THIS PLACE.

They don't serve Torborghee anymore on Saturdays but they do serve Cassava Leaf. All of the food here has a fresh & deliciously savory, deep umami flavor. I highly recommended eating here.
