I cannot comment to the service, atmosphere or cleanliness as I used uber eats but I can say that the food was AMAZING! Arrived hot and in great time and presentation was good. I meant to take a picture but I had to dive right in! I read other reviews and it sounds like any issues others had, the business owned up and made fixes and simply asked for another chance. Glad I still gave them a chance cause it was YUMMY!

Talk about delicious. This meal was scrumptious from the beginning to the end. It was full of flavor, spicy, and a delight in every bite. The DJ kept everyone singing and bopping along to afro beats.

love your food and I come often with my boyfriend, but I hope you can improve the chicken. The last few times: • The chicken had blood in it • It wasn’t seasoned well • It was very hard Because of this, I always choose the fish instead of the chicken. I really enjoy your restaurant and hope this feedback helps improve the quality. Thank you.

Ordered the goat waakye and a meat pie for lunch today. I love African food. I seek it out anytime I'm in a big city, and Columbus has a lot of really good African restaurants. This place was solid, albeit the protein itself was disappointing. The meal was delicious. The rice and beans were full of flavor. The salad was fresh, and I love their sauces. The goat meat itself though was rubbery and tough. I know goat isn't going to have the same consistency of a steak or chicken. But I've had a lot of goat throughout the years, this was the toughest to eat. I had to chew so much my jaw was actually exhausted by the end of the meal. My buddy however got the chicken and he said it was just fine. So I'll go that route next time. The meat pie was a little light on the filling. But it had good flavor, and the pastry was so flaky. I am very satisfied with it. Overall I'm pleased with my meal today. I'll be back for sure.

We ate TZ. Very delicious. The dish is very trendy. The owner is very polite. Came to check on us several times. To be clear this is authentic Ghanaian cuisine. You will need a mature pallet to appreciate the different flavors. I enjoy being challenged from the American dishes. We will be back.

I came in last night & ordered Goat soup with banku & Jollof with beef, everything was amazing! From the atmosphere to the staff & even the customers I chatted with while I waited. The beautiful women from Sierra Leone & the two Ghanaian men know what they’re doing! Not my first time here but I had to be sure to leave a review this time because I’m never left disappointed when coming here! Medasse!!!

My favorite spot in Columbus. I’ve tried their waakye, TZ and fufu with chicken light soup Very delicious. The owner is very welcoming , I’ve met her there couple of times.

Staff is very kind and helpful. Food was hot and fresh. Definitely will return.
