Once you get over the bit of a struggle of valet parking your car, you are greeted with a warm smile outside and taken inside, where the vibe is perfect! The staff is lovely, and the chef walks around asking how your dining experience is. You just can't say anything more than WOW... it is amazing! The suya is so flavorful! Having never had it before, I was WOWED.. spicy but not spicy, perfect! The suya and cheese pies are really tasty! The scotch deviled egg is really great, though I won't lie, I would love it to be a traditional scotch egg vs a deviled egg. Auntie Maawa's curry plate with meat was so good! The rice was super nutty, the plantains cooked perfectly, and the meat was amazing. I could eat it 10X over. The highlight, though, is the plantain cake. I was sad we shared just one piece. There is only one dessert on the menu, and let me assure you, none else is needed. Having this be my first experience with West African food.. wow.. I will be trying more!! Can't wait to return.
