The Cooking Pot is a delightful gem of West African cuisine tucked away in the Independence Shopping Center! 🌟

During my visit, I tried the Moi Moi, which was seasoned to perfection - definitely a standout dish. The jollof rice was flavorful, though I'd appreciate a milder version for those sensitive to spice.

My only hiccup was the chicken, which felt overcooked. Service was friendly, and the casual ambiance made for a relaxed meal. Overall, I left satisfied and eager to return for more delicious comfort food... 🍽️
