First time trying Nigerian food and fufu! Aunty is a one woman food truck and does it all. I've…read morebeen seeing lots of videos online of this spot so I had to try it. Had no idea what to expect but we ordered egusi and fufu. Yum! Egusi is a sort of stew I would say that is very rich, and has deep strong meat flavor! There were bits of fatty beef and pork in the egusi that was absolutely delicious. The fufu has sort of a stickier mashed potato consistency and really lets you soak in the egusi flavor, and also cuts down on the richness. Service was so nice and she wanted everyone in line to at least get a Fufu portion before she sold out. Get there early as there was a long line. She could very well sell out as well. I caught her at her waipio spot, but read she is also in wahiawa and also offers cooking classes which could be a fun date night. Will be back!

I really wanted to support Enchanted by Aloha at the Aloha Festival, but unfortunately the…read moreexperience was disappointing. It seemed like there was a lot of miscommunication between the staff of 4 throughout the event. From where I was standing, everyone was trying their best, but it didn't seem like there was a clear system in place. The person in charge appeared to be focused on directing staff, but the overall flow never really improved. The ordering process also became confusing. It didn't seem like there was a reliable way to track what each customer had ordered, which led to people receiving food they didn't purchase. About an hour into the event, several menu items had already sold out. My group ordered oxtail with fufu and Egusi with fufu, but because they had run out of several food, we were served fish, one piece of jerk chicken, egusi, and gari instead. Gari is very different from fufu, so it wasn't an equivalent substitute for us. We also had to wait over an Hour to get the actual food. To their credit, the staff apologized for the issues and offered a $5 refund, which I appreciate. I know events like this can be challenging, and I don't think anyone intended for things to go this way. Better planning, a more organized ordering system, and keeping track of customer orders would have made a huge difference. I genuinely hope they take the feedback to heart because the food itself has a lot of potential. I'd be willing to give them another chance if these organizational issues are addressed.

Fresh, clean and delicious. We made reservations in advance and booked our Belly dancer for our dinner show. This venue is BYOB. Lots of options on menu for vegans. There is not place in Hawaii like this... Thank you Casablanca Family for so many amazing meals these last 30years!

Wow, great flavor. Everywhere! It takes a lot for me to be impressed by carrots but the carrots in…read moretheir Moroccan salad had such a beautiful flavor. So much so I sat and savored my last bite. Of carrots! Spiced but not spicy. It was the kind of dish that was a spectacle, "what is in there?" Or was it just a golden hour sparkling? The House Special Rack of Lamb was good enough to write home about! The peppercorn ju dressing the pan-seared then roasted tender rack was very special, chef's kiss. Gave me shnietzel comfort but Northern African flair. There were times I bit into chunks of peppercorn that was oddly refreshing but a mouth full at the same time. The best way I can describe it is that emoji where he/she is blowing out in what seems like anguish but it's actually pleasure. The emoji above the one with the x's for eyes. One day Yelp will let us emoji. Not today. Man, maybe it's worth a try ‍ Peep Casablanca for deep satisfaction.
