BrennaI've been wanting to try this place since I moved to Omaha, and it did not disappoint! I've never had fufu before and it's so good - I will be definitely be coming back ASAP. It is a little pricey, but I got the chicken fufu with peanut butter sauce, and it was pretty filling. The chicken was perfectly cooked, and the sauce was delicious.
Chris BreciThe food is INCREDIBLE. Nina, the owner/chef is an absolute delight to talk to. What a wonderful experience for any meal! I'm sad I've never been here before today.

Giselle CFluffy fufu and tenser meats! Spice levels could be kick up a notch, but it's nice to see Omahans trying new things. It's also a fast casual set up so not much wait time.

KCThis is a good place for vegan and gluten free options. The rice was fluffy, the sweet plantains was exactly what I was craving, black eyed peas, tomatoes, and sauce. All very good and enjoyable. The ginger lemonade was refreshing, though too sweet for me. Good size seeving; we were happily full.

Su BirdJuly 24, 2022This 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. 😊recommends

Ross HaywardMarch 2, 2022The 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!recommends

Jacob Dean Jackson StiverSeptember 20, 2021I 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 :)recommends
