We look forward to inviting all of you, for grab-and-go lunches, mid afternoon catch-ups or sit-down dinners, and don’t forget to bring along your paw-tiful pets, we have a water bowl ready to go whenever!
This was my first time trying African cuisine, and it was a fantastic experience! The waiter was incredibly friendly and really knew their stuff. They served up some truly unique and delicious dishes. Plus, the atmosphere of the place was really pleasant and inviting. I'll definitely be back for more!
Tried jollof rice with chicken stew on the staff’s recommendation and it was amazing! The guy who served me was very friendly and helpful, and the service was excellent. Great food and great hospitality — will definitely come back
Update: 2 stars down for following reasons:
I went there again. This time the lamb in the stew was very gristly and fatty. It was horrible. They've either used poor cuts of meat or they haven't bothered cleaning up the meat.
Also after I left, I noticed there was a charge on the receipt for "tree planting"!!!!!!
They never made me aware of this! Did not see any info on this anywhere!

Original review:
Food was very nice. I had the large Joloff rice with half Chicken and half Mutton stew.
1 star down for following reasons:
- large portion is not that large. Should be bigger. It was was comparable to a regular takeaway tub from Kokoro for example.
2 - Young lad wasn't realising he was sticking his thumb into the rice whilst filling up the container. I had to tell him.
3 - all chairs/stools are tucked into the table - makes it look unwelcoming. I guess they do this because of limited space. But just have 50% of the chairs/stools pulled out as normal.
Will come back.
