I went in last night for my birthday!!! Was super excited to have some authentic African food! I explained to the lady that we don’t eat meat and can only have seafood! I ordered egusi with fish and vegetable stew with fish and plain jolof rice with plain stew.
However, it all had meat in it!!! I attempted to call and talk to someone about it but the lady hung up in my face .
I tried to call back and they did not answer.

Hello Jah, We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced during your visit and for the unsatisfactory response over the phone.
This falls short of the standard of service we aim to provide.
We value your feedback and are committed to rectifying this issue to ensure a better experience for our guests in the future.

RUDE! Not for me! I called to see if they served vegan dishes that were Daniel-Fast friendly.
Before I could get the question out, the lady snapped and said No, and hung up.
Hoping that because she didn't take the time to allow me to finish my question, she assumed, wrongfully, that I was asking something else so I called back & asked her not to hang up beforei finished my question.
.
She snapped, said that she heard me, but don't even know what that is.
I tried to explain that I was on a Daniel Fast and can eat Vegan dishes with no added sugars.
She immediately snapped saying she's busy and they don't serve that.
I wouldn't dream of giving my money to anyone with that kind of work ethic or character.
I certainly wouldn't want to eat food that she's handled.

Hi Pauline We're truly sorry to hear about your experience.
This is not the level of service we aim to provide, and we apologize for any frustration or inconvenience caused.
We value your feedback and will address this matter with our staff to ensure it doesn't happen again.
If you're willing to give us another chance, we'd love the opportunity to make things right for you.

So this is my first time trying goat meat with red sauce and rice as well as plantains.
The goat meat was tough in certain areas but probably due to the age of the goat.
The sauce is different added flavor to the goat meat which was excellent.
The plantains was good seeing as I don't eat bananas unless it's a smoothie.
I want to give it a 5 just 4 seem more honest giving that this is my first time eating this.
Everything overall good my expectations wasn't disappointed besides not getting fufu.
Definitely will try another dish but something different that includes fufu.
