My husband and I were craving fufu and soup and came upon this place on Google. So glad we found it! The food is very flavorful and delicious. I let her know that I like my peanut butter soup really spicy! It was wonderful, but she also put some pepper ginger on the side and it made it that much better! We will definitely be eating here again.

The food is GREAT but I’ve been coming here for years and my price changes every time. I asked today when my normal meal jollof rice & chicken came to $18 when it’s normally $16 and some change. I even showed the cashier what I paid the last time and he insisted someone rang it up wrong or gave me a discount even though he was the one who rang up my order the last time. It’s not cool to charge what you want. I also asked for a menu with prices to verify and there isn’t one which makes it easy for them to charge what they want to who they choose. I enjoy the food it’s always hot and tasteful but charging me different amounts and having nothing for me to confirm if it’s accurate or if I’m being overcharged is shady!! I don’t mind the wait but the prices being different each time I visit is turning me away from this place. Please have a menu with prices and charge the correct amount. I’ve also overheard people complaining about the prices being different while I was there!

ordered fufu and lite soup thru doordash. i’ve never tried fufu but have always craved it and this hit the spot for me! the soup and meat were so delicious and flavorful but VERY very spicy. i enjoyed it nonetheless, even with a runny nose from all the spices. thanks for a great first experience with fufu!

My experience here was absolutely unacceptable. My second time ordering from this place and I will never go back. No fresh ingredients outside of my plantains. The chicken was old, the Jollof was old and my salad was old. You could literally tell the ingredients weren’t fresh. Absolutely horrible.

If I could give 0 stars I would give. Even negative stars smh. These people are very unprofessional and rude…I’ve ordered several times through Door Dash and there’s always an item or several missing. I’ve had to even get the Door Dash driver to go back there again to pick up a whole order of Waakye cos they did not give him all the items I ordered…

The service was terrible! I ordered through Uber and my order was missing an item. I was told that I emphasized one option over the other although the selections are written out and there is no way to “emphasize” anything. I tried to explain this over the phone, but I was told that I was wasting her time and other customers were waiting. I’ve never been met with such service.

I went to this restaurant to buy one of their dishes. They have pictures of all the food on their wall but no prices. I ordered a plate thinking it will be $13 or at most $15. This is how much I have been paying in other African restaurants. I was charged $19.08 which is very expensive. If I had known it was that expensive I wouldn’t have bought it. Please ask for the price before you purchase.
