I just found out about this spot, I’m so happy their service is top tier, beautiful decor and good food. I had the TZ and ayoyo soup super delicious. Thank you so much I’ll be forever your customer. My dear Africans , black people make sure you support ❤️

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Andé Zaldana · Jul 2025

I called this establishment with genuine interest in exploring an African dish, only to be met with an ill-mannered response. Over the phone, a woman staff member told me to “grow up and stop being childish”—a completely inappropriate reaction to a simple, respectful inquiry. The background noise during the call was overwhelming, which may have contributed to a to her poor comprehension skills. However, that does not excuse the condescending tone or lack of professionalism. Customer Service 101: manners matter, especially when representing a culturally rooted culinary space. A simple “no” would’ve been sufficient. Should’ve checked the reviews before calling

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Bernard Bonsu · Nov 2025

I would prefer the Ghanaian lady to be more welcoming instead of always frowning her face

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Blossom O · Jun 2024

The food was good but the portion size is very small. I paid $17 for very small size and $19 for what she called large but actually medium size. You can get more for your money at most places. The small food size was in a paper container and it spilled. Customer service was not the best but overall atmosphere is welcoming.
