One standout is the authentic Jollof rice, praised by Nhu Nguyen as the best he’s ever had. Perfectly cooked, it invites sharing - an ideal choice for those dining with family or friends.
I've eaten their Jellof rice with chicken 3 times and was satisfied every time. I was not even able to finish the Jellof rice, it was plenty!
Wow wow wow! The food is very flavorable and extremely delicious. They also give you a very large portion.
Craving fufu? Brandy Soto raved about the rich and flavorful peanut butter soup, especially with the additional heat of ginger pepper on the side, highlighting a personalized touch that makes dining here truly special.

A Personal Connection
After living in Benin, West Africa for over two years from 2012 to 2014 one of the things I miss most is legit African cuisine. I found this place about two months ago, and since have gotten the peanut butter soup with fufu three different times. Each time it reminds me of a similar dish I ate in Benin. I highly recommend this place when you’re hankering for real African cuisine.
