We tried the jollof rice with chicken, egusi stew with fufu, and the meat pies--everything was absolutely amazing.

We loved it so much that we came back the very next day for more! This is hands down the best West African food we've had in the area. Highly recommend!

I was so excited to finally try it. Unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing. When my husband got home with the food, we realized one of the dinners was missing. When he called the restaurant, they went back and forth with him, insisting he had the item and confusing it with a veggie tray. It was very frustrating and unprofessional. I drove all the way back from my home in Chesapeake to resolve the issue. While there, I also returned the glory greens because they were clearly not fresh or properly prepared. I asked to swap them for cabbage, but the cabbage wasn't fully cooked. After waiting an additional 10 minutes, they asked if I would prefer a refund instead. I then had to wait another five minutes just to receive the refund. Throughout the entire interaction, the staff was rude and showed no empathy for the inconvenience -- especially considering I had to drive all the way back after my husband had already brought dinner home. Overall, this was a horrible experience, and sadly, the food was even worse. I truly wanted to love this place, but I will not be returning

The stew in the middle of our plate was the most flavorful and quite delicious. The greens were ok and the potatoes as well but I would love try other options. We came in on Saturday evening around 5 and it was not crowded. We were seated immediately. I didn't see a lot of options for drinks so we just had water. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. The outside is right next to a Mexican restaurant so you hear the music from there. We sat inside and it had a very African style. I will absolutely come back again. Also, I think it is worth noting that it is authentic, so there are no silverware on the table. Ethiopian food is eaten using the rolled pancake "injera" bread that comes with it. I recommend washing your hands before eating and just enjoying the experience.

We honestly have no idea what everything else on the menu is like, because we always get the half chicken with beans, rice and pico, and the delicious jalapeño corn muffins. The chicken is always super tender; the sauce they cover it with is so delicious; the skin is always the perfect amount of cooked and packed with flavor. They have a very spicy sauce that my partner loves, and I always get the orange sauce. There are others! The drink selection is quite good, with a ton of variety. They even had the seriously-rare grapefruit Jarritos the last time I was there. It's my favorite, but for some reason nobody ever has it! Thank you all for such good food and your kindness over the years!

So, I'm not going to change my rating, but I will say I'm thoroughly disappointed in what recently…read morehappened. So I'm assuming this place is under new management or at least decided to care about Yelp reviews, given that they have been verified for only a week. I was contacted by the management to take my photos down of the horchata that was allowed to sit long enough for the mix to settle, with an absorbent amount settled at the bottom, stating that "natives are aware of this," so I should basically not be accepting of this possibility. As if I don't understand and assumed because I'm not a "native" that I never made horchata. Let it be understood: I have visited many Mexican, Tex-Mex restaurants, let alone the fact that I love this sweet treat that I made myself, so I'm WELL aware of the possibilities of the mix settling. First off, it should have been some notification that the drink had been sitting for so long that it would need to be churned again... or... maybe you could have just made me a fresh drink rather than provide one that sat long enough that at least a half inch in height of horchata mix settled at the bottom of my beverage that I couldnt even drink through the straw. No one should ever contact someone who made a review over four years ago. Asking for them to delete photos based on their understanding of how a beverage should be presented or served (given that I'm not a native). I feel that was very unprofessional. Especially since they just verified this page enough to care about any of the bad reviews posted in the past, many of them have been removed since they're at five stars now, since they've been verified in the past week. Might I add that? They contacted me the same day that they verified their page. I have the screenshot to prove it. But I won't add it because I don't want them to try to take that down either.

The hostess was kind of challenged in being able to keep up with just the few parties waiting to enter... service from her was very slow and aloof. Once seated, service was great. The selection of what they give in the in the "continental breakfast" was great, as it was a typical full buffet, just not their specialties and honestly, that was all I needed. The eggs were decent. The English muffins were hard and stale, clearly left out from the day before - yuck. The bacon was great. The venue was nicely decorated in the typical Williamsburg period décor, which is appealing considering it's the norm for the area. Overall - I'd definitely not come here for a meal I had to pay for, but for a complimentary meal, it'll do.
