Real authentic food. I love The Fish was sweet and had a special taste to it with the fresh crunchy veggies... boom :) The rice was a bit dry and could've been a little more portion but overall the flavor and freshness was amazing I enjoyed can't wait to order again. I shared with my family and they loved it as well.

The red snapper was barely large enough to feed two people AND it was dry/overcooked. I can do much better for $32. Do yourselves a favor and try the Nile's snapper (when it's available) and take some notes. I gave two stars because my husband liked the plantains. They were good, but I prefer a bias cut. The Djolof rice was just ok.

The nem is extr small no longer than my pinky finger and i wouldnt say its worth 2.50 but it is tasty. The Fataya on the other hand is a good size and they are good and very much so worth the price! Im going to still give 5 stars although I was didap by the nem

The Saka Saka was mostly oil and fatty lamb. There were at least two big lamb bones in the little bit of stew they gave. Each time I order there is more and more oil and less leaf. Not many places make this dish and I won't be getting it from here anymore.

Amazing! The Yassa Shrimp and Yassa Chicken are cooked perfectly and arrived fresh + hot. The sides are cheap and large portions! My favorite was the jollof. Def check them out in person too!
