They have build-your-bowl style and great pre-made options. Excellent grilled meat and peanut sauce!

My friend and I had been dying to try fufu and it did not disappoint. Not only was the food AMAZING but Nina was an absolute angel and made the experience even better. She shared her story with us and was extremely friendly and welcoming. I would recommend okra to anyone, especially those who are new to the food. We got the lamb egusi fufu 💯 Tip: don’t skip on the lemonades, they were delicious.

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 :)
