We ordered the jerked chicken with jollof rice as well as the curry chicken with rice and peas. We also got slices of lemon raspberry cake and another cake (can't remember . I really enjoyed the seasoning and kick of the jollof rice. The chicken with both dishes was very tender and came apart with ease. The people taking our order were very friendly and I loved the atmosphere for the short time we were in there (full disclosure, we ordered our food at the counter to go). Eager to come back and try some more items from the menu!Posted on Brent JamesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. So delicious! Highly recommended. If you’re visiting KC and staying downtown, it’ll be about a 15-20 minute drive but worth it. Very friendly owner and staff, too! Had the curry chicken and it was amazing (and a large portion, def had to get a to-go box).Posted on Susan BeattyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Was so happy we decided to try this restaurant. We were greeted with a big happy smile as soon as we walked in. Tolu was so kind to answer any questions we had. Spice level was perfect, the food was excellent. Definitely try the beef pattie appetizer. Delicious!!! We also had the jerk chicken and rasta pasta with shrimp. Portions were generous, enough we had leftovers to take home. A fun and delicious place to eat.Posted on Nneoma LaneaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Just picked up some takeout from this place. Parking is either right in front or in the back. The vibes inside are immaculate and homey. The food is unbelievably good and plentiful. Genuinely one of the best restaurants in the entire KC area.Posted on Lewis SmithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Place is clean and the food is out of this world had the jerk chicken wit dem rice and beans. The flavors and the atmosphere were great one of the best restaurants in KC if you ask me. Really wish they had there soups that day.Posted on Cindy StonekingTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Food is fantastic!

I got the brown stew chicken with jollof and cabbage very delicious. This was my first time going here will definitely be back. Also I don't know the woman's name that took care of me but she provided great service and I saw her with other customers, her personality is great and you can tell she likes what she does. This place definitely deserves five stars. Great job guys.
