★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Christian Prescott · Oct 2025

They served me this old, dry, overcooked Suya Chicken and claimed that some places make the chicken juicy, but they make it dry and hard. My other order of chicken was literally just hard fried pieces of chicken fat. No meat anywhere throughout the 5 pieces I paid for. The jollof rice was burnt, and the spinach had a funky taste to it. Plus they had flies landing all on the windows and tables. Nothing but excuses and attitudes. Wouldn't order again.

Ordered through Uber Eats and the food was fresh and tasty. I think it’s the best in the neighborhood so far and I’m happy to see a west African restaurant on this side of town. My husband enjoyed then jollof rice and chicken and I enjoyed the egusi soup with fufu. We love west African food so this is a huge plus. The food was fantastic!

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Manuela Yeboah · Oct 2025

This was THE WORST jollof rice I’ve ever had in my life. I’m wondering if this place is actually being run by Ghanaians? Because the jollof does NOT taste like Ghanaian jollof—and this is coming from a Ghanaian. The rice tasted like old white rice with some smokey stew mixed in. The Chofi tasted like it had been sitting out all day. I am very disappointed in this food.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Kahnasia Mathis · Nov 2025

Food was extremely disgusting.. The rice taste burnt. And the beef had no seasonings. My first time trying and it was 0/10! Will never recommend or return.
