The taste of the food has improved. However, I went two days…read morein a row, just to see if the food would change and it's description. What do I mean by this? First off I've been to numerous ethnic restaurants, that serve goat meat. Everyone from Indian, Jamaican, actually all West Indies, and other Nigerian, restaurants in Randallstown, including Senegalese on York Road. The portion size in this restaurant in comparison to what it cost? Is absolutely ridiculous. I ordered GOAT this past weekend, and I got two big bones with a tiny portion of meat attached to each one, and that was that. Their jollof rice, the vegetable and plantain was as it should be. So the following day, I went back, and I advised them that I got mostly Bone in my meal. Only to be snickered at by the elderly woman, and a gentleman who was picking up food stating , "goat has a lot of bones." All of which I understand clearly because I fix my own goat meat at home, as well as buy a lot of it at other restaurants. However, these other restaurants insure that you get meat, alongside those bones. Essentially what I purchased? Was a vegetarian meal with meat gravy and bones, without the meat. So the next day, I went back and tried to deal with them again (*I must note, that over 7 years ago, when I first tried this food, the jollof rice was much more spicy, however, the meat was much tougher.). So the following day, I got the jollof rice again, only this time I got it with the Beef. Which was the same day, the elderly lady snickered at me with the customer. She stated "Beef doesn't have so many bones. (Of which I know fully), so try that." I went with her recommendation. However, this time, there were two very tiny pieces of beef inside of this food, of which I paid $14 for! The beef that was inside of there was no more than 2" x 2" per piece. I truly believe, that this restaurant, though has been operating here in America for years, is still moving off of what they would get back in the motherland. That doesn't work here in America. For $14? I should've had NO LESS, than four pieces of those little tiny pieces of meat. Then, if we double back to the day before, with the Bones? This restaurant is definitely not worth the money that it charges for what I paid for! Because the GOAT, cost me $16 and some change when it was only worth approximately $10. If you go out Randallstown to the Nigerian restaurants over there off of liberty Road, just Google them, you will see that their portions are massive, and are absolutely worth the price that they charge for them. Or,, go to the Senegalese restaurant on York Road, and their food is absolutely worth every single penny that they charge. The service, atmosphere, ambience, and patronism is absolutely spectacular there. This restaurant? I don't know how they survive, they must have a loyal African following. That is used to such very tiny tiny portions of meat. They give you a lot of rice, and a lot of plantain, but virtually no meat for what they charging for. I hate to give them one star, but they truly, and absolutely deserve one star for that food. I will post pictures of the food, as today is Monday, October 24, 2023, and I still have yet to eat the food. Because I'm actually sick, over paying that money, and getting virtually nothing for it. I truly would like other African-Americans to patronize our African brothers and sisters restaurants, however, I'm not being spoiled, or entitled, when I tell you, you cannot serve a person a bunch of bones, and expect that to be OK. You cannot charge people 16/$14 for food, and virtually getting no meat. If I was a vegetarian? That might be OK. However, I'm a meat eater, and there are definitely other restaurants that will put this one to shame when it comes to the true taste of African/Nigerian/Senegalese food. Because they don't even make their food spicy the way it supposed to be any longer! ** I actually still have the two big bones in the other dish as well. I will attempt to upload that on another post.
