I split a meal with the friend, we got the chicken dinner and two samosas. The portions were great and we were both satisfied. Rice was delicious, the yellow split peas were great as well, and the chicken hit the spot. The samosas were just okay, I enjoyed them but would probably get something else next time. We got milk tea which wasn't too strong so it was fine to drink at night. Overall, it was a nice spot. I would really love to come back and try the lunch menu sometime!

The menu is straightforward but gives a variety of options that will make any diner happy. The cooking has a homestyle feel and the portions are hearty; fortunately they have to-go boxes.

A little bit oily so I usually anticipate a stomach ache as I'm not used to this cuisine style, but it's delicious! The meat is traditionally very hard so that takes some getting used to. I've tried the egusi with chicken and beef. Beef is preferred for me as the chicken just came with two drumsticks. The jollof is decent and plantains are also good.

It is heartbreaking and infuriating to see how little loyalty matters to this establishment. The owner and a woman working there completely lost their minds because I didn't leave a tip on this occasion. They didn't just get upset; they humiliated and insulted me in front of the entire restaurant. The woman was so aggressive she nearly slapped me. It is shameful that after years of supporting this business, the owner would turn on a regular customer with such violence and disrespect. To be physically threatened and publicly shamed over a tip is disgusting. If this is how they treat their long-term patrons, no one is safe from their toxicity. Stay away.
