The food here is very good. The chopped collard greens was well seasoned and it was made fresh. The little dough bread is fun to eat and my baby loved nomming on it.

The owners must have wrote their own reviews!!! First, this place is not located on Central Ave, they’re on a side street. The food was TERRIBLE!! All meats a(Turkey, Suya, and whatever’s in the soup) were ALL super tough. Pounded yam was tough as if it were in the microwave. AND it took extremely long for them for them to prepare the food. Pictures make the food look good but the quality was terrible.
