"My daughter and I just recently moved to the area from Philly. West African restaurants are littered all over the city back home. The restaurants back at home give you healthy servings and generally, the food is made to order. Since being here I?vebeen craving African food. It was a staple in my diet back home. After a quick Google search I decided to give this place a try.The first thing I noticed, which I didn?t like, was the food was already cooked and set up buffet style. That, however, didn?tdeter me from still proceeding with trying the food. My daughter and I decided to eat our food in the restaurant. I ordered okrastew over white rice for myself and jollof rice, goat and plantain for my daughter. The cashier told us we could sit in and eatour food first and pay after. So we did just that. I didn?t make it through my dish. They food was ok, however the meat in mystew was over cooked and tough and the rice wasn?t cooked well. My daughter didn?t like the jollof rice (which I didn?t eitherand we both LOVE jollof rice) but she did eat her meat and plantain. My daughter received a plate overflowing with rice,literally three pieces of goat meat and about five plantain. We finished our food and headed back to the front to pay. Our totalwas $45! F-o-u-r-t-y-f-i-v-e d-o-l-l-a-r-s!!! I was flabbergasted! I wish I had taken photos of our plates to show what littlewe received for $45! I honestly expected no more than $30. Back home we could have gotten enough for two meals each for what wepaid. I will never support this establishment again. The prices are outrageous, the food quality is subpar and the portion sizesare menial. Never again."
