"I booked a table for 6.30pm and the restaurant was empty. My partner, an Interior Design Stylist, was not impressed with the disjointed decor, although the seats were firm, which was nice and the flooring was appealing. The waitress/Cook came out with complimentary starters, which was a nice touch but when I asked was it was she proceeded to tell me whilst touching the food at the same time, which was very surprising and disappointing as we are in the midst of a viral pandemic! The big let down was the time it took from ordering to receiving the food 1 hour and as the dishes were not that complicated I was very again disappointed.I had Jerk Pork with Salad and my partner had Chicken drumsticks with 2 sides, Jollof Rice and Plantain. The portions were generous but the meat was over cooked on both counts, very dry and the drumsticks had to be dissected to find the bits that could be eaten. The Jollof rice and plantain were enjoyable. We paid half price for the food and just as well because I don't think it would have been worth the 48 including drinks (1 Baileys and 1 small bottle of lager) it would have cost without the discount. So food average but service poor. I hope this review helps them to improve."

Really enjoyed the food as it was my second time. The grilled fish was beautiful, homemade incubator has a natural taste that meets the place! Will recommend my friends come

The food took an hour to arrive there was only one lady cooking the food. Even when the food came they forgot some of the items so it took even longer. The food itself was decent though :)

Went with my girlfriend for a casual dinner and this place was perfect. We decided to try African as it's a cuisine we've not really eaten much, and this restaurant did not disappoint. Great food and lovely atmosphere. Will definitely be back.
Matthew
We had a such excellent services, and the food is very lovely. As we did not have much experience with African food and the waiter recommended some dishes and I ended up with the dish of cassava with lamb, it was very nice. We will definitely come back another for dinner out :)
