If you're in the mood for authentic African food in the Central Jersey area, I highly recommend this place. The food is absolutely delicious! The manager Michael, is very kind and welcoming. He patiently walked me through the menu and offered suggestions. I ordered the jollof rice, fufu and peanut soup, kebabs, and meat pie which resembles an empanada. The jollof rice came with baked chicken, plantains and a marinade sauce. They also have another location in Newark that's about 10-15 minutes from EWR airport.

She answered all of our questions and even provided us with some complimentary samples of their in house made sorrels Food: I am not African but 2 of my friends were and they ordered some other items off of the menu ( fufu, soup, puff puff , fish meal and of course Jollof rice) I was going to order Jollof but they said it would be a 20 minute wait as they were waiting for a new fresh pot to finish cooking. I tried their Meat pie (~$3) (not pictured) and would give it a 5/10. It was filling but I felt like it could have used more meat and some kind of sauce. The ginger juice (pictured below) was also delicious and refreshing. There's plenty of seating area so this is a place you can dine in or takeout. But they recommend calling ahead to make sure they have the food available / ready to serve. Parking: The owner's daughter mentioned there was parking around the back near the tax business. All in all, I will come back to try an actual meal.

OMG she has let this place go down hill.

Kind of felt the need to put that out there, it's not really a suburban location. That said, echoing some of the others I'm reading snippets of, WOW to everything - the service, the food, the ambiance. It's got charm when you walk in, looks old but not dated. The waitstaff is super friendly, has some jokes, multi-talented (they brought out the guitar a few times to wish some other folks happy birthday), and knowledgeable. The food is really good - everything I tried was just delicious. For the table, we ordered some calamari and empanadas, and both were good. Drinks were also tasty - that sangria was really good, and the mojito (love that they had it available, first of all!) was also a hit. I would double-click on that sangria, though. For my entree, I ordered their whole fish, which was not only delicious but HUGE. I ate about half of it and was full. Then my friend and I split an order of limoncello cake (I think that's what it was), which was on point, and ended w/ espresso, also good. Overall, everything about that place was great, and when I mentioned a Spanish place in Trenton the next morning to some guys I was with, one of them asked, was it Malaga? That was just another great review, for a local guy to know what I was talking about just by description. Bravo, I think some of us may be back sometime!

That lobster was fresh, tender, and actually cooked right, not rubbery like you get in a lot of places. Service was dialed in without being overbearing.

Walked out full and already thinking about coming back. Definitely a spot I'd bring people to when I want to impress without overthinking it.
