not here! the price is superfluous for quality and quantity and not only that, but they have no prices visible and let us eat before we pay! we spent near $120 for an evening meal for 3, I have the mathematic of what is posted on the website and we overpaid easily by 20-30%. if they go a better price performance and much better quality Nigerian food to jolly jolly View all feedback.
