What our guests are saying
I’ve ordered takeout for myself and coworkers a couple of times when we were craving jollof rice. This place does not disappoint. The service is fast, the restaurant is clean, and the food is consistently delicious, fresh, great portions and full of flavor. Leaves me wanting more as soon as I finish my plate.

I was crushed when they shut down, but baby, they're back! They've been one of my favorite places to eat for a long time, and I don't see that ever changing. Their beef is perfectly tender, their jollof and waakye flavorful, their gari the perfect texture and flavor, and their carrots are unmatched. Give them your money, you will not regret it.

I love getting takeout from here, the value can't be beat! This is my go to recommendation if you are looking for quick, healthy food. The Jollof Rice and chicken are very flavorful and the texture of the plantains are just right. The food here have no silly gimmicks. It's just clean, fresh food with a good portion size.
