Customer Reviews
The food was absolutely delicious! The quality of the ingredients and the care put throughout the entire meal is apparent in each dish. I had one of the best beef samosas that was perfectly seasoned! The entrees were so good that I had to stop myself after getting full. It’s perfect to bring friends and share the different dishes. I recommend driving an hour just to sit down and enjoy! Be a little patient with the food coming out, but it was so worth it!
I came here with some friends while visiting from Maryland and we thoroughly enjoyed the food. The appetizers were a great intro to the restaurant. We ordered samosas and very moist puff puff. Definitely one of the best puff puff I’ve ever had. From the entrees we ordered, the grilled pork and grilled fish were my favorite. Very well seasoned and cooked to perfection. The jollof rice was also really good. They are in the process of changing their menu so some of the prices weren’t updated but the chef was very apologetic about the minor confusion. I would highly recommend this place!!
Very tasty - wonderful meal. My wife and I enjoyed the goat stew with rice, the puff appetizers, and chicken schwarma. Everything was fresh and delicious. It's a different flavor profile than you'll normally get in Monmouth and so welcome. I had the ginger juice, it was tasty with a zing! Overall we loved it and will be back.
The food was fresh, and very delicious. We had the Grilled pork, Grilled Goat, Fumbwa, and kwanga. The service was excellent. If you haven’t tried this place yet you are missing out. You gotta try the ginger also, it was very energizing.
The food was really good! The woman (who I’m guessing owns it) is really nice! She’s the only worker there (from what it seemed) yet, we still had our food ready pretty quick! The food also came in a really high quality to go bag. I would definitely go again.
