    Kuku paka
    Vicky B.

    Visited their new location in the Downtown Bazaar. Had the kuku paka which is chicken and rice in a mild curry sauce. It was a very filling portion and flavorful! Service: I went on their second day open and could tell they are still figuring out their operations, but I plan to visit them again soon. Tip: it's easier to read their menu and descriptions online than it is at the counter.

    So happy to see some west African restaurants in Buffalo! I got Jollof rice with chicken and stew,…read morefried plantain and Suya. The jollof was a bit bland but the chicken and stew was good! Just wish there was a bit more pepper. You can never go wrong with fried plantain! The Suya was not what I was expecting but was still tasty. I'm used to suya being more dry and would have preferred more Suya seasoning, even if it was just on the side. It is located in like a storefront and there is no seating. I called to make my order for pickup and they were very nice over the phone. They delivered my food to my car and even gave me a free drink since I waited about 5-10mins for my food.

    I hate leaving low reviews for small mom and pop places. I really, truly do. But I am going to be…read morehonest, as I always am. When I heard about this place, I was super excited. I love African food, it's so delicious. Unfortunately, this place was not. We had the jollof rice with chicken and the suya kebab. So, the suya kebab was really greasy, and the meat was cheap. The scant amount of seasoning sprinkled on top was delicious, but it didn't save the otherwise bland and unsalted meat. I don't think grease when I think kebab. Ever. So that was a huge disappointment. The jollof rice with chicken was also just not great. The fried chicken was okay, made well enough, but bland. Not even salted. The rice itself was mediocre. And I'm forgiving with rice because rice is a massive staple of my diet. I don't know, it tasted like it was seasoned out of a box, and reheated to be served. Just bland. Overall, a greasy and bland experience that was sadly not worth the money or the excitement I had to try it. I highly doubt I'll be back
