    While visiting the area, found this on yelp and stopped in to have dinner. I placed the order by…read morephone sine the reviews said the wait could be long. When I arrived had to wait about 10mins, not bad. Great decor and it's very spacious with lots of seating. The Okra soup with goat and fufu and 2 Oxtail patties. The Okra soup was really good, I like it spicy so added some of the pepper sauce I was offered. Different cultures makes fufu and tis was the first time having the African version, it was good. Oxtail Patties was the star, really flavorful and has a nice crisp, I also added a bit of the pepper sauce...delicious. A bit on the pricey side so if you're looking for something economical this is not it. I enjoyed the meal and it was enough to share with a 2nd person if needed, if you're doing that though I would suggest adding another fufu.

    This is a huge place, but when we stopped by there were only maybe two tables being used. It was…read moreright before Christmas and just before they closed. The food was amazing! Our server said he usually served as the bartender, but on this light business night he was handling our table. They stressed that that the dishes were not spicy, but when they heard we love our food to have a little zip to elevate the flavor, he proceeded to bring out a few homemade sauces that were just right. Everything we had was excellent in every way. I'm writing this a week afterward so I'm not going to get into the specifics since I might not recall them with enough clarity. All I can say is that when we passed by the area again driving back from the Christmas holidays, we checked and they were closed, otherwise we would have returned. It seems to be a family run business and we thanked the chef before leaving and "mama" came out from the kitchen and gave us a hug on our way out. Wish I could go back soon, but we live in Florida, so we don't pass by that area often.

    Welp the service is what it is. That's already been thoroughly discussed on here, so let's get into…read morethe food. I got the large oxtail and was definitely disappointed. They are sliced very thin so it appears you are getting a lot of meat but you're really not. Even with them being sliced so thin, they were tough as rocks and not tender at all! The flavor just wasn't there for me as well. It was definitely a miss. However the rice and cabbage were both tasty. The beef patty was good but I'm pretty sure it was commercial so really not way to mess that up. There's only to-go available at this time. Overall, wasn't return or recommend.

    The portions....my God, the portions. Why? Actually, I don't even care. The fact that I paid $12…read morefor a large oxtail plate and got 3 days worth of food speaks to the portions. 3 days! Worth of food! So much food! When the guy handed me the bag with my food, I thought he'd put a brick in it or something, it was so heavy. Lemme talk about that rice, though. I wasn't sure what to expect from the peas and rice since I've had it a bit dry, I've had it mushy, I've had it this way and that. A&M's peas and rice might be the best I've had. It was almost succulent. Granted, there were oxtail on top and, therefore, oxtail juices had seeped through in some areas, I'm sure. But even the places that hadn't been touched by the oxtail were....juicy? I don't even know the right term to use. But it definitely was not mushy or watery or dry or bland. Very good flavor, and tons of it. The cabbage was also a great consistency, which is hard to do when you're making a large quantity of cabbage. That wasn't mushy either (overcooked), nor was it hard (undercooked). It still had a bit of a bite to it, which is how I like my cabbage, so it was delicious to me. The roti skin was hot and ready to go, packaged separate from the rest of the plate, of course. Great flavor, a bit flaky, which I like. I wrapped a bit of everything in about half of it (peas n rice, cabbage, oxtail meat), and it held together really well. The ratio of items was what I'd expect: tons of rice, a side corner of cabbage, several oxtail on top of the rice. I could have actually done with a little bit less rice and a bit more cabbage, but I'm not complaining about how they packaged it. Great food, nice establishment in an empty shopping plaza. FYI, they have a free chicken platter on one of their special nights (can't remember which one, and there's a $5 admission to get in). I shall return!
