I say skip the make at home version, because this restaurant will make it for you for a very fair price, and with no fuss whatsoever. We ordered a range of stews along with jollof rice. I asked for everything to be mildly spiced (other than the designer stew, which is largely habanero peppers and so can not be mild!) Everything was well seasoned, freshly prepared, and filling. We ate outside with a friend and the warmth of the pepper stew helped keep us distracted from the cold. Our favorite thing was actually the meat pies. They are homemade with a sweet dough and a delicious meat and potato filling. They are also a bargain at $5 for two hand sized pies. They would make an amazing lunch on their own and were just as delicious at room temperature as they were fresh from the oven. I do have to warn you about ordering the chin chin dessert. It is delicious, and you will wish you had more once it's gone. Order it early in the weekend in case you need to run back for more by Sunday night, or you'll have to wait almost a week for the restaurant to reopen. Go get yourself some fufu!

Food was good, was surprised how flaky the beef patty ($3 each) crust was and how flavorful the filling was. Got the oxtail with rice and plantains, very tender and well seasoned. Was only a bit salty at the end when it was just the rice drenched in the sauce but loved the rest of it. The veggie garnish and plantains on top were delicious as well. Pretty inexpensive yet still quality food! Would get beef patty again and try other dishes when I get the chance next time!

The interior of the restaurant is so bright and well-designed. (The bathrooms are bright and sparkling clean too!) Our server Jaeli was lovely and friendly.

First of all, this is a startup trying to fill the gap in the African food desert of Baltimore downtown. This place is not all that put together guessing by the local, but it does offer excellent surprises. The Jollof is taste and flavorful, the natural ingredients brings out the flavor in unique French Ivory Coast way. The meat is tender and chewy. The Oxtail was just an overpriced collection of fat and bones. There is a delivery option, highly recommended since finding this place can be confusing. Make sure to call ahead to confirm the menu items. For most foodies, this will satisfy but leaves you asking for better meat and better food experience. Inside seating is limited or non existence. It's a labor of love for the owner and passion for the cook.

The place is small, clean and the staff are very friendly. I tried the beef stew with some fufu and papaya juice. All were great , the beef stew was flavorful but didn't deviate too far from regular beef stew I have had in other places, I wish it was more unique or had more spices , it was still good. The fufu was good but tends to stay hot longer because of how it's packed so be careful burning your mouth. I like to dip the fufu in the beef stew and eat both together . The papaya juice was light and refreshing, a unique drink option compared to typical sodas. Give this place a try if you haven't had traditional African food before. They also gave me a samosa on the house which was nice and a bit spicy , it tends to be oily but was flavorful. Hoping to come back and try other menu items, especially the goat stew. I was a bit surprised that the price for the meal was higher than expected , especially for the amount of food you get and the other options in the area but it's worth it given the authentic food you get.

First time it was closed (reason unknown, during hours of operation) and the last time about an hour before closing and they were sold out for the day. The woman who helped us was very nice. Unfortunately they had sold out of most of their foods this day too! Luckily we were able to try the chicken over white rice, samosas and fried donut type of dessert. Inexpensive and huge portions. The chicken was flavorful and the samosas were packed with heat! The "donut" was a heavier batter, a hint of sweetness and just the right size. It didn't give you that "I ate too much" feeling. The only reason this place isn't getting five stars is because chicken was the only food she had left. She said that steak, goat and lamb frequent the menu, but that it changes everyday. Tip - based on my three attempts, I suggest arriving for lunch or early dinner, like 4-5 p.m.

We came here for chicken and beef tibs ( they are always out of lamb tibs) , the beef was overcooked and somehow not hot , the chicken was also not hot , the injera was pretty cold , I am not sure why the injera would be cold to the touch and why they would serve their meat dishes lukewarm , they need to improve their standards here. The food is a lot more than just flavor and this makes it taste much worse. The beef being very chewy and overcooked is another problem that I keep running into, please improve your standards and your cooking. We also tried some samosas which were not flavorful at all and were just packed with plain ground meat. We tried the special mango juice which was ok too.

I'm not complaining, but this information could be helpful to others. I asked for both sauces to try, they were both really good.

The flavor of the egusi was very unique and something I've never had before. It was spicy, nutty, and filled with umami flavor. I could not stop eating it! The chicken leg inside was SO tender and delicious. It was a generous portion as well, I was able to share it with my bf and we still had leftovers for the day after (both the fufu and the egusi). As for the chicken suya bowl, I believe we had the jollof rice with plantains, chicken, and cabbage and onions with suya suya sauce. The jollof rice was seasoned and flavorful. The chicken was tender and brought a bit of a kick. The suya suya sauce was mild but creamy and paired well with the cabbage and inions. The plantains were a bit sweet but they were tasty and helped cut a bit of the oil. I would definitely recommend this place and would come back to try other dishes. So good!
