We arrived a little less than an hour before closing time but we were still happily served. Let me be clear, this is a Ugandan restaurant. Okay, moving on. Our food came out, steaming hot and fresh- nothing seemed like it was reheated (try eating reheated posho y'all). We stayed long after the restaurant was closed to finish our food which really gave me the real homey Ugandan vibes. There were also a bunch of Ugandan uncles in the corner just chatting it up the entire time which was fun. Also, there's a store with Ugandan products, raw frozen cassava/matooke, bitenge, and some other Ugandan staples like Royco, Blueband, Majaani, etc!

I do highly recommend people making it over there and trying their food.

The ginger juice was yum! What made it bad was the fact we had to wait over an hour to get our food. We also had to ask multiple times for water and our waiter would just not bring anything. They explained the wait was because of Valentine's Day but the restaurant was basically empty and it didn't seem like there were any take out orders.

We were promptly seated at our table and the lively wait staff came by to take our drink and food orders. We got the joint sampler with beef samosas which was awesome. The moi moi was great and reminded me of tamales. The wings and samosas were super flavorful as well. The drinks came out when we got our entrees which seemed a bit late. We got the taushe stew with eba (pounded cassava) which reminded me of a cross between Thai peanut sauce and butter chicken. I got the crispy chicken special and asked for the "fire" spiciness level with the plantains and jollof rice. The chicken had great crisp to it and was spicy, but not uncomfortable (although I eat a lot of spicy food so your mileage may vary). The jollof rice had awesome flavor and the plantains were amazing! Definitely recommend coming here, but be prepared to take your time because the service is a little slower than I had hoped.

The hostess was kind and sat us immediately. The restaurant was quiet with some afrobeat/rnb playing in the back. Good place for a date or meet up to have conversations. Our waitress was SO friendly and gave us amazing recommendations for drinks, apps and entrees. We went with the sampler and the chicken wings and stew was AMAZING. Saucy and crispy. I got the coconut mangotini and it was excellent - mango puree and not the super sweet syrup made it taste excellent. We shared the taushe with farina and he was soooo good. Strong peanut flavor, perfect texture and we were both super full at the end. Gratuity is included (20%) in the bill and the total each after gratuity was about $45. Looking forward to returning.

I asked for more time so we could make a decision. Her response was that the kitchen closes at 7:30. It was 6:30. What restaurant closes at 7:30? The restaurant had plenty of seating. The menu was limited. I ordered rice as an entree which was served with two fried drum sticks and plantain. What restaurant lists rice as an entree? I thought I was charged a lot for what I got. The prices were high. I paid with cash. The woman took my money and never brought me my change. I had to ask for it. I think when you pay the bill, they should complete the transaction by returning the change soon after. The conversation with the person I was with saved the meal. I would not recommend.

The Jollof Rice is a West African dish which had soft long grain rice in a stewed tomato base, bell peppers, and spices. The Meat Pie and the Fish Roll had a dense soft pastry shell with tasty rich fillings. I was very happy with my food court choice of stopping here for a filling tasty snack.
