The lady who greeted us was so polite, wonderful customer service. The fried Croaker was seasoned and fried well well. The tomato sauce was emasculate over the fish with the jollof.

Mike took charge and sorted me out with the delicious fufu and palmnut soup. He was so welcoming and polite, can 't wait to get back there for banku, wakye or jollof. See you soon Mike, I appreciate your kind gesture. See you soon!

However, I recently went in and sat to enjoy my food and was thoroughly impressed with the consistency in the egusi soups quality as well as the flavors in the jollof. They also have a ginger tea that is to die for! Joyce made us feel right at home on a rainy friday night. Thank you guys!
