This was a real find! Traditional African food. My food came in a bowl and there was a rice ball that had been steamed so that it was melted together, two skewers of steak tomato broth over the top with tomatoes and onions and peppers. Really tasty with some heat. In all for a medium sized bowl and a water was $20. Pretty healthy too.

Nina greeted us with a smile and helped us navigate options when we arrived as first time customers. Everything was DELICIOUS. So fresh. At checkout I was going to just get water, I mentioned I wasn’t in the mood for super sweet juice drinks but she let me sample each of her fresh signature drinks, and to my surprise they were not overly sugary like chain stores usually are. and the flavors were so balanced and delicious, I got the ginger lemonade, yum! The Lamb bowl was so good! Tender savory seasoned meat paired with the brightness of the veggies and spinach sauce went so well together. My only regret is I didn’t order a meal that came with fufu. But no problem, We will be back!!!

Nina, the owner and chef, helped us get our food and answered our questions. Very informative and friendly. Good flavors to everything. Be sure to get a lemonade to wash it down.

Love the African curry, big portions and the specialty drinks were a great combination. The service was helpful and friendly with a hole-in-the-wall yet quality above and beyond. Not a novelty, make it a staple.

The food was absolutely amazinggg! I’ve never tried fufu before and it was even better than I had imagined! The peanut butter sauce and chicken was so delicious! The lady at the counter was very nice and immediately said hello when I walked in the door, it was super welcoming and I appreciated that!

As someone who has moved from NYC and missed the variety, I was so excited to find and enjoy this little spot here in Omaha! I had the special with goat and fufu and was so scared after not having good goat in years. If you're scared to try it out, I recommend giving it a shot! Everything was tender and reminded me of my family back home! Everything was great, even with my 20 minute commute back home. Will definitely be returning:)

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 :)
