    If you're looking for something outside of the usual New England fare and want to try something different- this place is fantastic. If you like Caribbean food or Jamaican food you'll love this place. I will say the flavors here are better than most Jamaican places - all of the dishes were bursting with flavor. The dining room is small but the woman who owns it greeted us and served us and she was about as nice as could possibly be. She served us some kind of red meat that was stewed with lots of tendons and cartilage - one of my personal favorite parts of beef - it was so delicious my daughter told me not to eat it all. Will def be going back!

    Hate to give an average rating but I hope the feedback helps. Came in on a weekend morning at 11am. There was only one person working so the wait for the food was fairly long. The cook/server was polite and friendly. The food - The goat meat soup was flavorful but very spicy; too spicy for most people and definitely not recommended for colonizahs. The chicken skewers were dipped in raw spices that were extremely strong and did not work well together. The rice and chicken dish was OK but the chicken did not smell fresh. One of my biggest dining pet peeves is when chicken has that old chicken odor. Prices were reasonable. Parking is easy - it's on a lot.

    I am most definitely returning to this restaurant. Today was my first Time going to this restaurant. The atmosphere was amazing it was cozy and nice the food was very good and very hot. Everything was so flavorful and well seasoned. I will be returning soon and maybe make this my personal hotspot to eat!

    The Egusi stew and fufu is on point! I will definitely be coming back. I drive in from Weymouth, but definitely worthwhile.

    Hard to find African food around here. Quick spot to fill your African cravings. Has a good variety of dished. The fufu was good

    Got lunch through TamBo's Kitchen at work and thoroughly enjoyed their beef patty and plain jollof rice!

    Took my daughter here yesterday for her birthday. One of our favorite places to go…read more Ordered soup and some apps I got the French onion soup which was horrible. Tasted like dishwater. I sent it back. However, everything else was spot on. My daughter had the chicken parm panini which she said was excellent. She took half of her sandwich home. She also got onion rings. Hot, thin and crispy and a cup of clam chowder which is always great and thick We shared the stuffed mushrooms which are always our go to. Served on a spread of lobster bisque I got the pork dumplings which were delicious. My grandson had the kids meal hotdog it was really big for a kids meal, served on a brioche bun I secretly asked for a lemon cake to celebrate their birthdays. Corey brought it out with a candle in it Corey was our server and he's been there for years. Very pleasant and attentive Overall another great experience just won't order the onion soup again

    I went out for a spontaneous dinner with a friend, and it was my first time at this restaurant. We…read morewere greeted and seated right away. Since it was a Thursday, the place was fairly empty. I was excited to see they had Saratoga water which is one of my favorites. For dinner, I had the blackened salmon with asparagus and mashed potatoes, while my friend ordered the Thai Chili wings, which were delicious. The salmon was good, though I asked for medium well and received it well done. I was hungry, so I didn't bother sending it back. Our server was kind and helpful when we could get her attention, but she wasn't as attentive as I would have expected, given how slow the restaurant was. With better service, this could have easily been a five-star experience. I'd recommend paying closer attention to customers across the board.
