I wanted to come here on my last trip to Amarillo but I didn't find out about this place until a day or two before I was due to leave and there just wasn't time so it was on my Amarillo bucket list for this trip. It was definitely worth it. I had an absolutely delicious meal with so much food I could only eat half of it and had to get a to-go box for the other half. I'm going to elaborate more later when I have time but for now let it suffice to say I had a wonderful meal and hope to make it back again before I leave town. ---------- I won't say it isn't a little intimidating to walk into a restaurant with all male customers and the only females covered except for their faces. I certainly don't mean to offend anyone's beliefs by not being covered and can only hope that they accept my attire as I accept theirs. Everyone was perfectly nice to me so I hope that's how it was. I saw no menu and no prices so I asked the lady behind the counter what the choices were or if they had a menu I could look at. I think because they cater to regular customers who speak the same language they just tell them and once they've been in one time their customers know what there is to order. As near as I could figure out there was beef, chicken, and spaghetti. Beyond that I had no clue. However, I have never ordered a meal I didn't like in an African restaurant and I've been in several across the United States, possibly as many as a dozen, so I just figured I couldn't go wrong. I ordered the beef, no clue what the actual name of the dish was, and it was phenomenal. Whatever spices they use are absolute perfection. And the rice couldn't have been any better. There was a side salad that was as crisp and crunchy as you could hope for, just lettuce and a little onion, nothing fancy, a bottle of ranch dressing on the side. The platter was fairly large, full of aromatic rice and flavorful tender beef with a little bowl of some sort of sauce that seem to also include beef, onion and potatoes which I assumed was either to dip the beef pieces in or dribble over the dish. I did a little bit of both. There was a half lime which again I wasn't sure which part of the meal it was to go over. Since I like lime I just squirted it over everything. There was also a banana which I wasn't sure if I was supposed to eat separate or mix with the meal. Again I did a little bit of both. The meal also included a bottle of water. I had no idea what the total price was going to be but that became irrelevant because everything was so delicious I just figured I'd take whatever came. The meal only came with one utensil, a large spoon like you would serve with. I'm sure I was supposed to be eating with my fingers and maybe after I got comfortable in the place I would. I have no problem eating with my fingers when I go to African restaurants that include injera bread or Fufu to help pick up the food but I was hesitant to do it my first time here, not being sure. They might have found it humorous to see me eating my salad with a serving spoon. Oh, and the meal ended up being $13 which I thought was fair enough for the deliciousness, quality and quantity of the food. I also took home close to half so it made a second meal the next day, just as delicious as the first. I hope I will get back there before I have to leave town to try another dish. I've been in town for nearly a month and I'm pretty sure this is the best meal I've had on the whole trip of all the places I have tried, and I eat one meal out nearly every day.

See all
