Five stars every time!! Pounded yam and egusi with goat/fire turkey is in heavy rotation; beans stew w/croaker and plantain; banku okra and croaker; jollof, chicken, and stew; light soup

Adria M.

Orderd jollof w/ stew, pounded yam, plantain, egusi, and a meat pie. All less than $50. Eyes were bigger than my stomach but everything was delicious! Have enough for tomorrow and am gonna pass out now. Glad this is only a mile or so away from my house. Coming back home from out of town and needed that comfort food.

Obsessed with this place. I come almost weekly for lunch. I get fufu, jerk chicken and spinach. It’s to die for. Costs around $20. So so so good!!
