Excellent dishes - Lamb Dibi is not to be missed! Hands down favorite of the table. Our group tried Chicken Afra and Chicken Yassa and both were great dishes but the mix of fresh and sautéd onions with the seasonings in the Afra dish makes it one I will definitely order again. Meat pies were crispy and flavorful. Really we enjoyed everything ordered. Restaurant was very clean and the order time was reasonable. Enjoyed the company of the other patrons that night but maybe that was just luck to have such a delightful crowd. Will be bringing more friends to this restaurant so I can try additional menu items. First time trying West African cuisine. Excellent introduction!

Great food you can tell they are cooking with love all of the flavors stand out I will be a returning customer only constructive criticism I have is the fries need to be fresh

I had dinner at this place for the first time . It is hard to tell that there used to be an African restaurant there. They need time do something about the sign or add another sign on the front window mentioning African Food. The lamb dish was beyond amazing and the service was the best. The lady that Owns the place was extremely friendly. It was such a beautiful experience having such a delicious dish with African music too. I love this place and I will be back.

This was my first time trying and so glad it was a great experience. The selection was good I looked at their menu online to see photos of what I was ordering and the food came out looking exactly like what was pictured. The flavor was rich and I liked how each dish came with a small salad. I got the lamb Dibi with plantain and a side of jollof rice (not pictured) and my friend and I split the meat and shrimp pies. Everything was seasoned well and just delicious. The service was friendly and prompt. The ambiance is nice it's quaint with beautiful artwork placed about. The restaurant was not very crowded, but there were tons of to go orders going out. My friend really enjoyed her food as well. We will be back for sure. Happy to support!

In short: Small but mighty space--clean, welcoming, lots of choices on the menu, and the food is excellent. In long: This little block of strip mall buildings seems to have great luck pulling in cool spots that aren't all like every other spot. It's around the back from Ash Way, decent amount of parking. Big windows, plenty of light. When you first walk in you see a couple tables, white walls, and a few pop coolers. Nothing fancy. But around the corner, the side hall is much more decorative. You can order at the counter or they'll come to your table. I walked in as a first-time visitor and the dude behind the counter was in something of a silent reverie. No customers, music, or TV, just happily gazing out the window. He seemed a little impatient with me for not having my order together, at least until I told him I'd never even been in or read the menu. A few minutes later, he switched on the TV, saying it was "for you, sir," and switched it to faux news. Sorry, dude! Not my style at all. But if you were being sincere (and not sarcastic), then, well, thanks. I over-ordered a little bit given that this was for one person. The lamb dibi and okra soup were both delicious, but, even if you leave 95% of the starches on the plate, that's still more than a helping of food. So I'm a bit of a glutton and might end up skipping dinner tonight. Okra Soup Delicious! Rich, hearty, no broth--much more like a stew. You get your choice of sides; I went for fufu. It's a chewy, moist roll (or hunk of dough) that you use to sop up the soup. It's tasty, but low in flavor. Mostly there to fill you up, which was not gonna be a risk for me, given how much I had ended up ordering. There are a few little bones in there, so don't assume you can swallow everything on your spoon. Soft stewed meat, plenty of veg. Nice toasted spices give it a savory warmth without much peppery heat. Lamb Dibi Thin-sliced chops with sauteed onions and your choice of side. It comes with a little salad on the side but you can order a full salad as your side. Great flavors here, nice seasonings for sure. Bone-in, grilled medium well. No gaminess, almost tasted like beef. There seems to be a real community here, with a steady stream of customers in 1s and 2s, some of whom spoke the language of the old country (whichever country it is) with the staff. Everybody looked happy to see one another. I'm really happy to see more good African places popping up around here.

Amazing African cuisine is served here but be prepared for a long wait after placing orders at the front counter. Inside had ample seating but only a couple of tables were occupied on a Saturday mid-afternoon. It took at least forty minutes before our food was served. A party that was already seated when we arrived had been waiting for over an hour, and another had not received their take-out order past the estimated pickup time. Upset tables cancelled their orders and left. We chose from the Signature Dishes which includes a choice of small salad, side of rice, Vermicelli, sweet potato fries, regular fries, or fried plantains. Both were flavorful, well-portioned, and had tender meat. ----- Lamb Dibi: grilled well-marinated bone in lamb ($16.99). ----- Benachin: Jollof rice choice of fish or lamb ($16). ----- Although the food took a while to come, the staff was apologetic for the slowness. Outside has a parking lot with enough spaces.

A friend invited to try this place out. I've never had West African food before, so this is a first for me. I'm surprised to find this place so close to me. And I have to say that I got to give this place some love because the food is pretty solid. So first off, the place is pretty small. I remember this place use to be a teriyaki shop, but I guess COVID got them and now it's become this West African restaurant that I would like to go to more often. So I ordered the Benachin because I saw the pictures online and it immediately got my attention. Rice is nice! My friend got the Lamb Dibi which he split with me which is a funny story actually. His order didn't get submitted for some reason and we were waiting forever for it. We asked the service about it and they told us what happened, so he got his dish pretty late. We ended up sharing both of our dishes which was kind of nice cause I got to try the Lamb. Both dishes were really good. Fries could be better, but you're really not here for the fries. A very unique cuisine with unique flavors. I enjoyed this place a lot. I highly recommend checking it out. The food is delicious and it's nice to try an unfamiliar cuisine. Also, it's good to support your local hole-in-the-wall restaurants, especially if they be hitting you with that flavor.
