I am glad they’re back open. Some of the vegan options are gone but they still have some. Curry chickpeas stew and egusi with fufu is what I’m getting. I hope it’s still good or better like before.

Our experience was fantastic! I went with several adults and children. We had a variety of appetizers and entrees, all of which had just as much to enjoy in presentation as it did on flavor.

Both the lemonade and sweet tea tasted more like unsweetened versions. A little more sweetness (or an option to add it) would be nice. We ordered a cheeseburger with

My family and I tried the buffet and everything on the buffet was amazing. The customer service experience was amazing. We learned so much while being there.
