The food was absolutely phenomenal! This is by far some of the best food my husband and I have ever had in a restaurant. The staff were extremely helpful and service was prompt. If we lived in the area, we would eat here all the time! Highly highly recommend this restaurant and my husband and I look forward to exploring more African cousine after this wonderful experience.
