They recently expanded to a second spot right next door and its vibes! If you're interested in trying real authentic African food for the first time....this is the spot! I love ALL their dishes. Although it may be a bit pricey and sometimes a bit overly spicy which they do a great job at accommodating for those who don't care much for spicy food. Today I ordered the meat pie and beef suya, it was a bit too crispy but nonetheless was delicious. I highly recommend you try this place out and meet the owner. Great food and Great vibes.

The music is loud and they play Afro pop beats. For a first timer I'd recommend efo riro with pounded yam. So much flavor and everything is made from scratch!

We were both not very familiar with African cuisine at allllllll so we asked our young waitress for some help. She said her favorite was the peanut butter soup, so my friend got that, and I got the spicy soup, both with Fufu because we wanted to try that. My soup (it was like a stew) was really good, spicy, flavorful, and the goat meat so sooo tender and delicious. I'm always leary of goat because sometimes it's gamey and this was not! The peanut butter soup had a wonderful savory flavor as well and was so good. The fufu is a side of dough looking thing, where you eat with your fingers and dip it in the soup, is my understanding. It just reminded me of a dumpling. This restaurant was really good, and it felt like a mom and pop type shop. I want to go back and try more menu items

We sat there for 12 minutes with no service and decided to get up and knock on doors around the restaurant to find anyone on staff. Eventually a server came out and she was happy to help us. A man walked in after us and the same thing happened to him, and after 10 minutes he started to wonder and then found a bell to ring. Once we had ordered, our food was quick to come out and had good flavor. The server was very attentive and asked if I had eaten fufu before wanting to help me enjoy it if I hadn't. Overall the food was good. The service was fine once we got someone to come out from the back, but for restaurant week there was no savings. It was $20 whether I did the meal alone or chose the same meal on the restaurant week menu.

The fries were crunchy, well seasoned, and the beef samosas WERE SO GOOD AND CRUNCHY AS WELL! I like that you can pay via QR code on the receipt because it makes it so much more convenient; this was my first time trying african food and i would 100% recommend!

It's tucked away in a bit of an unexpected location, but that's exactly where you find the best hidden gems. ​The restaurant was busy, which is always a great sign, and the staff behind the counter were fantastic--super warm and genuinely caring. You could just tell the food was going to be incredible. ​I ordered the fried plantains and the Nigerian chicken stew, which is a killer combo of Jamaican jerk chicken topped with a traditional stew, served with their special rice and cabbage. The chicken had just the right amount of kick and those incredibly deep, slow-cooked flavors. Truly one badass bird, and the sides held their own, too. ​Of course, I couldn't run away without trying dessert. I brought home a piece of raspberry lemon butter cake and a piece of chocolate butter cake. Even out of a to-go box later on, they were phenomenal. This place is warm, inviting, and serves up serious comfort food. Highly recommend going out of your way to give them a try!

Entering this cove of Caribbean meets Nigerian, I was pressed by the woman behind the counter. According to her, I would only get plantains. In response I mustered my best antagonist energy to match. Sure enough the menu opened up before me! Remember kids, it's press or get pressed... While she offered the last oxtail, I couldn't muster yet another slab of meat in KC that day. Instead, it'd be a mackable Rasta Pasta for this white boy. After a serving of P's and Q's, my dish arrived in kind. Lucky enough to dine alone I employed my best ravenous dog impersonation, breathing all of three times in the next ten minutes. It was as if world peace actualized, even for just a moment, in that bliss of now. Four big WAHGWANS from me!

It is a great experience as I was wondering if I would like it and it turned out better than I expected. The server was very polite and asked us if we need help with the menu. He recommended the sampler combo which consists of different meats and veggies options. I am glad that we listened to him as one sampler combo was very filing for two men. It is kind of like Indian food so if you are not sure why to try, go with the sample combo. I also ordered the Ethiopian iced coffee which is like a light roast flavor iced coffee and easy to take in. I would recommend you to try out this restaurant if you want something different than bbq or pasta at the Kansas City Market!

Update: Received a msg from Daniel F- Owner, he reconfirmed that all their juices are made with actual fruit. Updating rating as well. For the main course got the 4 vegetable plate- the 4 sides we chose were collard greens, yellow dal, potato and cabbage, and beans and carrot, all this comes with the Ethiopian bread supposedly made with wheat and barley.
