    Looking at vegetarian options, this restaurant came up. We were intrigued because it combined…read moreAfrican and Caribbean. Turns out this place showed up on one of the food tv shows and the chef won a James beard award. That's intriguing. The place is nice inside, fairly big, and also has a shop selling spices, cookbooks, and items from Africa. The only weird thing is that the cushions on the booth we were in sunk kind of low which left us at a weird height to the table. There were plenty of vegetarian options, many of which were vegan. And an assortment of more traditional meats that you'd find in the Caribbean style of cooking. We got a tofu curry which was pretty nice. Just a hint of spice but tons of flavor. We had the jerk tofu sandwich (a little spicy) and the hummus sandwich which were served with a mix of lemon and cumin fries. We had one member of the dining group that got jerk chicken, which she loved (but I didn't try). I was glad we stopped in.

You should never in life need a knife for oxtails, but the knife was warranted because we indeed did. What meat there was, was tough and entirely lacking in flavor, to include the gravy they swam in - which had the barest HINT of spice. Another reviewer got it right when they said it's generous to claim the dish is accompanied by a side of collards. There was a sprinkling of chopped, nearly raw collards and a chunk of mofongo. Perhaps the food is better when the chef is actually in the kitchen, but he definitely wasn't back there on this day. My husband's Coke was flat and the Jamaican hibiscus tea was mouth puckering. The ambiance was nice - loved the bazaar - and the staff friendly, but unfortunately that's the best that can be said.
