   All the food was overcooked and bland except for the ox tails. For fine dining prices, we expected a higher level of service, nicer tables, and to not be sat near a tv showing sports games. This wasn’t worth our money. We also witnessed a woman with mobility issues have to be helped up the stairs because there’s no elevator. Be mindful when booking.

   The food was amazing! If you know anything about African culture, then you know that their mannerisms are different. We access switch servers because ours was a little nonchalant, but Alvin came through in a clutch and was amazing.

   Our food came out cold. Gratuity was added to our check however our server asked for an additional tip on top of the gratuity even though he never came back to refill our waters, get our additional drink orders or check on us in general. I will not return.

   Service and Ambience 100% Price for the food taste and quality you get - 0% Time you wait for the food - 0% Was nice to try but won’t be coming back. Food needs flavor, better presentation and back to the basis of what makes African food amazing!

   Food was delicious. Service was friendly and quick. The sound of voices seemed to echo and we could not hear any music. It was classy yet not really special. It didn’t really have much personality.

   Food was delicious, a little noisy and had to raise voice to talk. Service was great. The parking lot had no access to the restaurant except walking up the ramp from the parking lot, which was dangerous as cars where entering and exiting.

    Rather overpriced given the menu options. Would have spent way less for same food elsewhere. Concept is great so is overall dining experience. But $48 for Salmon. $18 for a craft cocktail. A little bit too overpriced. The jollof was very tasty. It's one and done experience for us due to the cost.
