Menu is posted on the wall and there's also a QR code at the door for the menu. Prices are reasonable, especially for the amount of food you get. The chicken was well seasoned. The Mac and cheese wasn't the best I've had but it wasn't the worst. The cabbages were very well seasoned but a little overcooked to my liking. I did not like the hot water cornbread at all. I can do without it the next time. My favorite thing was the pineapple ginger lemonade. They have several flavor of lemonades and punches to pick from and they are already packed to take with you. I will try a few other items on the menu. I think it's worth that.

There was a small misunderstanding with my dish as I wanted the fried chicken version, but it was prepared " à la plancha" instead. Service was still excellent and it was a nice eating environment. I wasn't even disappointed with my food, it was still amazing. The papas locas, the red rice and beans, too good! Plenty of tortillas were served with the plate too which made it even better. I loved the small chips and salsa that they provided alongside my cafe de olla. Overall, this place will be included in my rotation whenever I come down to Jackson, Mississippi.

The PROS. THE EGUSI…read moreWAS HOT, SPICEY AND FLAVORFUL. (Although watery, with a super small portion size not equal to to the cost and it did not have a variety of different meats like I'm accustomed to. - this is further explained below.) WONDERFULLY CLEAN SHOP WITH A LAID BACK ATMOSPHERE. The shop was very clean and the owner very hospitable. The restaurant had a very nice environment and immaculately clean restroom. The CONS. SUPER SMALL PORTION SIZE FOR THE COST AS MENTIONED ABOVE. THE PORTION SIZE I RECIEVED SHOULD HAVE BEEN AROUND $8.50 OR $9.00. CERTAINLY NOT $16.70. I feel cheated. I had so many places to spend my money at and I chose this restaurant and although the egusi was good I could have had a much more filling dinner elsewhere for $16.70). I've had Egusi in Atlanta, GA, Dallas, TX, Houston, TX and Memphis, TN and for the same cost you get considerably more (I have pictures. Check out my other reviews). When I picked up the bag it weighed very little. Egusi and Fufu are heavy type of foods. The fact the bag weighed so little was my first clue that the portion size was much smaller than i was use to and it wasn't just the egusi. It was the fufu ball as well. ONLY CHICKEN. NOT A MIXTURE OF MEATS LIKE OTHER AFRICAN RESTAURANTS. The egusi only had one piece of chicken. There was no beef. Or pork. Or Fish. Typically egusi comes with a mixture of meats. This was a disappointment. WATERY EGUSI. I HAD TO POUR SOME OUT. I can't stand watery egusi. Yet that's what I recieved. I had to pour out a substantial amount of liquid. THE FUFU TASTED LIKE IT WAS RANCID. IT WAS GRITTY WITH A STRANGE VINEGARY TASTE THAT WAS EXTREMELY OFF PUTTING. THE SMELL WAS PECULIAR TOO. I COULDN'T EAT IT AND ATE THE EGUSI WITHOUT IT. IT WAS THROWN AWAY. I have no idea what this FuFu was made out of but it was the strangest fufu I've ever eaten. The restaurant owner should really stick to the white fufu which is standard. This fufu tasted awful. Like it was rancid. It smelled weird. It had a vinegar taste to it. I couldn't eat it and ended up throwing it away after a few bites.

Not sure if this is a norm because it was my first time trying it here but the Fufu was gritty and…read morenot smooth. I also ordered the egusi soup with chicken. It was also gritty and the portion was small compared to the price. I usually order from Sambous which is right up the street. I ordered just before closing so maybe that was it but I was not satisfied with this dish. I will be trying something else at a later date. I included a picture from both restaurants as I did eat it from here because I could handle how gritty it felt eating the Fufu and egusi soup.

A review for another time but once I left the glass place I needed comfort food. I love kebab. A friend was married to an Iranian guy and I got hooked on kebab, basmati and warm flatbread. I go in prepared to break my no flour program but I saw the salads and realized that I wasn't going to let the poor customer service experience at the glass place let me make bad choices. I was greeted by the sweetest young lady who offered to make recs for me before she left for my tea. I ordered the Lulu Greek salad add chicken shwarma. I asked her to keep the pita bread. Insert me sobbing here. It was hard but I did it. Man was that salad phenomenal. Chicken breast that had a nice crust on it but was not dry. Crisp vegetables. A delicious oil and vinegar based dressing. So much food. Excellent service. Very clean. Mediterranean music playing very low in the background. I cannot wait to return and try kebab with warm pita, rice and hummus but today my blood sugar thanked me for the good choices

Good little Mediterranean spot in Jackson. We happened upon this place by chance as my lunch…read morecompanion said that it had just reopened recently after being closed for a while. We were headed to the place behind it, but I think they were closed on Mondays. Server was good. No issue there. She was attentive, helpful, and very efficient. It's kind of a hole in the wall kind of place. No real attention to the look inside really, but I don't care anything about that. We started with a colorful hummus dish and falafel for appetizers. The falafel was fantastic! It might have been the best I have ever had. Loved it!! Hummus was great too! I had the Combo plate for lunch. It had gyro meat and the driest chicken I've ever tried to eat. Gyro was pretty crunchy too. It came with more hummus, a salad with a great dressing, and some rice. It was just ok. It dampened the whole experience. I'm sure if it were fresh and tender, it would have been great. Forgot to snap a pic. I'd eat there again if I ever stumbled across it again. Probably would not seek it out though. '25 - 21/111

Couldn't figure out why it took the young lady so long to greet us and welcome us in. She was sitting at a table eating with others and I guess was going to finish her meal before she helped us. Nonetheless we all prepared our bowls. Waited a while before cook came and finally cooked our food. Everything just felt like it was moving in slow motion and took so long. Cook and hostess. Everything even to pay. We were there an hour just ordering waiting for food to be cooked and to pay. I realized she was on the phone maybe that's why. But service was definitely not to par. Food was good I prefer Yaki bowl better flavor wise but feel Like you get bigger portion here. Ambiance was on. Everything felt outdated but was clean and empty.
