This is such a fun restaurant. You can build your own plate or choose from one of the many combo meals. I have been eating here once a week and have had something different every time. I have not been disappointed yet! The owner does all the cooking from scratch and by herself! She only uses the freshest ingredients and she is a wonderful host and conversationalist. You must try one of her infused lemonades as well. For an extra kick, ask for her scratch made hot sauce and beware, it comes in a tiny container for a reason because it is HOT. Or you can be like me and dump the whole thing on your food! I love the flavors, fresh vegetables, spices, and the heat. It's a refreshing change from typical burgers and fries and much healthier. She also has vegan and paleo options which are filling and just as delicious as her other options. A must-see for locals and visitors alike!

If you have not tried this hidden gem you are doing a disservice to yourself! Chipotle style set-up but with African ingredients. The bowls are extremely tasty and very filling. Almost 2 meals in one. I highly recommend putting this place on your radar!

This was the first time we came here. We tried the build-a-bowl. One with lamb, grilled vegetables, garlic potatoes, and fried plantains. The other one was chicken, garlic potatoes, roasted sweet potatoes, sweet corn and fried plantains. We got the sauce on the side so we could try the peanut sauce and the tomato sauce. Both were very good. The tomato sauce has a little kick to it, just the right amount. The food was delicious! 👍😍 We will definitely be back. I forgot to take pictures, but the other pictures on these reviews are excellent. We had plenty for leftovers to take home and will enjoy them later. 😊

Had the pork bowl, peanut chicken bowl, beef kabobs and large order of plantains. The food was delicious! We love supporting local family run businesses. Nina and Fabio are the best!

The lamb was fall off the bone tender without being dry, the red rice and the house tomato paired with the meat and other sides really well. I need to go back and try more items on this interesting menu!

I enjoyed everything about my meal, but the real standouts were the sweet potatoes, the house specialty peanut butter sauce, the fried plantains, and the ginger lemonade. There also about a dozen other menu options I need to try :)
