My first time eating African food and it was sooooooooooo goood!! I had the Jerk Chicken with the joli rice with a side of turkey!! Very flavorful!!!

Owner response

Thanks

I had a very unpleasant experience at this restaurant.
When I arrived, the staff informed me that I couldn't sit and eat because they were about to close and needed to pack my food to go.
The server mentioned she was in a rush to leave.
However, shortly after, a gentleman walked in, and they not only prepared his food but also served him to dine in, while I was still waiting for my order to be prepared. When I saw this and complained, the server suddenly changed her tune and said I could eat there after all.
This inconsistency and poor treatment are unacceptable.
I felt disrespected and unfairly treated.
I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone due to their lack of professionalism and courtesy.

Owner response

I am so sorry for your experience.
You may not agree with me but there are circumstances where things could drift a bit away from the standard where sacrifices like that afforded to the customer that was allowed to dine in are entertained.
We don't need to inform you what the man does for the restaurant or who he is.
Assuming he is the owner of the store, do you thing he would not be allowed to dine in when he was the reason we had to close at the time as he ordered.
But that may not be the story, as only gave you an idea what could have happened in the background.
So, don't compare how you are treated because you would close your business when you deem fit and if you own that restaurant, your employees would not close while you are interested in dining in.

No air conditioning inside and it was stifling hot.
The service was awful and all the employees were very rude.
They were out of what I wanted on the menu, and pressured me to take the order to-go, which I was going to do anyway but was still annoying.
They didn’t even give me what I asked for, but I was not about to wait around another 40 minutes for mediocre food.
I ended up with the fried yams and spinach.
The spinach smelled rancid and tasted off.
The yams were bland and dry.
I’m not sure if that’s how they’re supposed to be, as I’ve never had fried yams before, but I did not enjoy them. My friend ordered the jollof rice and jerk chicken.
He liked the chicken but the meal only contained 4 measly wings, so he was still hungry after.
There was a tiny scoop of coleslaw which was okay in flavor but hot for some reason, which threw us off.
The jollof rice was okay, but kind of dried out and not much tomato flavor. Overall, I would not recommend anyone go here.
