If you're craving authentic African cuisine, The Big 5 is a hidden gem! 🌟 I tried the goat curry, rice, and spinach, and the flavors blew me away - so comforting and delicious!

The atmosphere is casual and cozy, perfect for a quick bite or a relaxed dinner. The staff was incredibly friendly, offering tips on reheating my meal to perfection. Don't miss the samosa; it's a must-try!

A little pricier than some, but the quality is worth every penny. I'll definitely return for more culinary adventures! 🍽️
