"Ate the egg and one meat already. Got the Jollof & Goat Stew massive portion. Worth every bite. Could use a bit more Knorr/ Maggie but I like it like mad. I go use my last card if possible get from this restaurant. It's THAT worth it y'all."
"The food was okay... the Fried Red Snapper w/ Veggies was much smaller than expected & the "veggies" that came with the fish was just raw onions & green peppers. It wasn't worth $20.
The Spinach Stew & Egusi Stew was alright, but the spinach could have been cooked softer. I did expect more flavor.

Someone from the cafe specifically called me to verify the modifications in my coffee to make sure I got what I wanted. I also ordered the lemon ricotta muffin, but they were out. The woman on the phone kindly suggested an alternative for me. The coffee is delicious. The muffin she suggested is also delicious. It's very rare to receive such amazing customer service from someone via DoorDash. I'm sure they're even more lovely in person. Definitely have to go back in person and try their other food & drinks!"
"Not good for groups. We ordered ahead specifically to give them time to prepare and they made our 6 person order when we arrived to pick it up. Portions were tiny and they were out of stock on things we had ordered. Coffee was good. Definitely more of a single or two person coffee shop kind of place."

"The VEGAN SUPER BURRITO was so freaking good. I am extremely discerning about my super burritos because I am half Bay Area on my mother's side so I know what they're meant to taste like. Just absolutely overflowing with flavour and an Absolute Unit as all SF style burritos should be :) They did put guac in my burrito when I specifically asked for no guac so. points off for that. But honestly, that's a small potatoes complaint because they're the gold standard everywhere else. Absolutely would order again"

"Had the DELICIOUS Dibi Chicken and THIEBOU-YAP (Che-Bu-Yap) - both fantastic. The Fataya (Pastel) were huge but still very crispy & delicious with amazing dipping sauce. "
"Big fan of west African food and was looking for something new to try. I judge Senegalese restaurants by their theibu jenn - which wasn't on the menu - but the Dibi Chicken and Macaroni and Cheese didnt disappoint! Tilapia Braise with Plantains and yuca was also okay (though expensive). 1/4 gallojjuice is huge! Would try them again, esp for their meat. "

"The amala itself was soft and smooth. The stew lacked flavor or spice, there was barely any protein and the gbegiri was quite grainy. And there was barely any stew in that bowl. As someone from toronto Canada, I can name 3 spots out there with way better quality amala with bigger portions. I personally wouldn't order this again."

"This was my first order and everything was perfect. I am Nigerian so a little weary with African restaurants, but I finished my okra soup and pounded yam in about 5 minutes; this was authentic! The okra was delicious (made just like my dad's). Saved the jollof for later, but I took a bite and that was made very good as well. "
"The plaintain was dry and there was only 6 in the entire container, meaning i paid over a dollar for each plaintain. The Tilapia Fresh Fish (1 pc) that i received was better. The stew was slightly a bit too salty but the tilapia was cooked well and was sizable and fit the price."

"
"EVERYTHING WAS COLD AND NASTY WHEN IT ARRIVED... My order was ready when the Dasher got there so, my food sat for an hour before a Dasher was assigned to my order. This place is selling FAKE AFRICAN DISHES!!!!!!! I ordered Pounded Yam with Egusi and it was awful. The pounded yam was mashed potatoes rolled into a ball and the bowl of spinach was NOT EGUSI. My Jallof rice is mushy.. Also ordered the "Jumbo Shrimp" for $4.99 and they are NOT jumbo. The shrimp option has no description, so I was given Frozen Coconut Shrimp that were cooked in bad grease. I'm so pissed. I spent $56 and could not eat the food. I feel like I was robbed of my money and Doordash acts like there is no understanding of what's going on. If Doordash can't accommodate me for this terrible experience, MANAGEMENT should!"

"The Eru was absolutely good and the most the way the Gari foufou is made wad excellent not hard like stone as you would find in certain place in West Africa. Bravo to that magic cook who did this successfully
.
I would have liked the Eru with fish and shrimp.
I liked the chicken but to have the Eru with mixed chicken, smoked fish and shrimp with crab added will give the Eru a very good perfume as we have in Togo and Benin .
I have really enjoyed my food one order served two meals. Good value for money and it's healthy.
Can you have the Eru done with peanut oil instead ok palm.
Thank you for this comfort food so well anticipated today.
Best regards"
"I ordered the same thing two days in a row. I don't like that their meals are inconsistent. The only thing consistent was the rice. The second time I ordered I didn't get any plantains, the chicken in the Signature Chicken Meal was smaller and hard. The Sausage Rolls was hard as a rock. I couldn't even dig my nails into it"
