So when I came here and they were straight faced, I think nothing of it. I come for my food. This place is small, a little dingy but the food. My Dad referred me here, they always cater his birthday party. The griot, chicken and turkey is on point. The most amazing dish through is, the black rice. I have tried black rice at other places and they can NEVER come close to this one here. You hear me? Ever. It's bomb. So the 4 stars are for the rice yo.

The cake was okay, nothing to repurchase though. Staff was super nice. They do offer some tables to eat in, but I took my food to go.
