What our guests are saying
This is a great restaurant. The food was excellent. This was my first time here. I notified the owner that I have a shellfish allergy so she made a stew right on the spot for me to enjoy with my meals. I'm so very grateful and the food did not disappoint!
Gabrielle.
Awesome Ghanaian food. Loved it so much we came there 3 times. And I loved everything. The beans was super tasty. Wish I had asked the recipe for cooking the perfectly sticky rice. And then the tomato stew... whoop whoop. Soul food. Nom nom. Oh yes.... let me not forget the amazing fried plantains. I'm hooked.
