Such satisfying food, it makes you feel cared for and relaxed. It was loud but in part because there was a large party of 20’s who were having a wonderful group dinner. We could talk at our table. But the food was terrific.

Really good spot, although it was very small. The Music didn’t need to be so loud for such a small space. Staff was super friendly and attentive. My fried rice and shrimp could have had a little more flavor and was a little hard. However, the people with me had Jollof and loved it. The Suya sliders were BOMB AF!
