The Green Place is a hidden gem in Brooklyn for anyone craving authentic African cuisine! The egusi with pounded yam and jollof rice is a flavor explosion that left me craving more. 🍽️ The portions are generous, making it great value for money, especially at this price point.

The atmosphere is casual and lively, with laughter ringing from the kitchen. The only downside is that it's cash-only, which can be tricky. It’s a cozy spot with limited seating, so I wouldn’t recommend it for larger groups. I can’t wait to return!
