There was a spice that the staff gave us that especially had crazy flavor and kick! It definitely elevated the dishes that I got, so I highly recommend it. Unfortunately I didn't get the name, but they come in small containers and are orange. The restaurant itself was decorated expressively, and the ambiance was very nice. The moment you walk through the door, you are hit with a delicious aroma of spices that lets you know this place is the real deal.

It was my first time having shito. The Jollof wasn't my favorite, unfortunately, but it finally settled the debate for me once and for all - I'm team Nigerian when it comes to Jollof. Although the Efo Riro was nicely flavored, the mix of collard greens did not compliment this dish as I thought it would. I prefer it with spinach and from my Nigerian food connect (Mina's Jollof in LA). Hers can't be beaten! Black Eye Peas were unique, and the plantains were cooked nicely. Now for the ambiance: We were one of two tables during the day, so having the place for ourselves felt nice. It also looked tidy. Our waitress was a sweetheart. I forgot her name, but she was attentive. Would I return? Perhaps when revisiting ATL. Overall: The experience was enjoyable!

The suya and fried potatoes were so good and not too spicy. The wet fry was well flavored but I would suggest another type of rice with it. The jollof's flavor is so strong and spicy, it overtook the flavor of the meat. It was delicious on its own though. Everything was cooked well, seasoned well, and not too spicy. Can't wait to go back

I took pictures of her food and tried her son's dibi and it had a strong games flavor which to me means it wasn't cleaned properly. Yet I still went and tried it bc she said the Thiebou Yapp was good. The Owner served us and said the Food was the Best In The World so I was like Yesssssssssss. I went to the bathroom to use it and it was dirty and the toilet was broke. I should have left then . Thiebou Yapp and Maafe. Our total was $46 and we couldn't even eat it. It was inedible bc of the salt level. We told the Owner that we couldn't eat the food bc it was too salty and his response was "oh". He CLEARLY DIDNT GIVE A FLYING FU**. We paid and left

Dismissing the fact that they didn't have heating in the middle of winter, their restroom was nastier than a gas station out house. I just wish I had seen the restrooms before ordering but I digress. The restaurant opens at 3pm, we got there at 3pm, and somehow our orders came out colder than room temperature. It really was a disappointing experience. Especially as someone who loves patronizing African restaurants.

The pounded yam was smooth and not too thick. I had fun scooping up the Egusi in the Fufu with my hands. Both together was an enjoyable flavor and texture combo. The Beef Suya was good as well, a nice meat appetizer. The beef was cooked well done which some people may not like, but I enjoyed it since I grew up eating my steak that way. It paired very well with the spice blend and raw onions. I also had the Ghanaian Jollof Rice and that was not my most favorite dish due to the flavor. Not my cup of tea, but the rice was cooked well. I also liked the side plantains. The interior is nicely ornate and comfy. The service here was also super great and my assigned server was very personable. I genuinely enjoyed my conversation with her and she did well giving me recommendations and directions as a first timer for this type of food.

My order might arrive half missing... you never know! If I do Uber Eats, I always have at least 1 driver cancel because the wait is so long, even at odd hours when they cant possibly be that busy. And then the second driver complains about their wait as well. I stress... the food is really good. The wings are fantastic. Even the jollof is good (try the onion sauce.) The portions are generous and that is why it pains me so much that the service is just so flawed. Today I called in a meal for a homeless gentleman who lives outside my building, to pick up for him on my way home. When I arrived 45 minutes later, I learnef that the call was answered by an employee who wasn't physically at the restaurant... and she never called it in. Then after another 30 minute wait, I am told that part of my order is now sold out and unavailable. When my mom asked for a replacement of fries, and if they could be complimentary (considering we'd been waiting over an hour due to their mistake) the response from Omar at the counter was snarky, condescending and mocking to her. I'd rather drive 30 mins all the way down Campbelton Rd. for better jollof and lamb from my fave Senegalese spot than deal with these antics, truly. Too many restaurants are struggling right now for me to be directing my little bit of PUA assistance toward restaurants that refuse to be reliable. :/

The best part of the meal was probably the seasonings they have sitting on the side of the counter where you order. I do not really know who works there. First there was a lady, then there was this kid, but the kid was sitting in the lounge when I first walked in and stood there for about 5 minutes at the bar before the lady in the back who was having a conversation with the lady who makes the food I guess came from behind and walked around to the register. Their menu has absolutely no pricing. I had the peanut butter soup, which was good, but a little disappointing because the majority of the meat was nothing but fat, and there was not that much meat in it honestly. The potato that was in it literally looked like that had just cut it in two and threw it in the soup. It was good, and not that bad portion wise, but if I had known it was almost $20 I probably would have gotten something else. I was hoping to try the hookah while I waited, but evidently all of the hookahs were in need of maintenance, so that was a bust. Would like to go back in the future, maybe when they have a crowd of people or something, but overall I was disappointed.
