We discovered this hidden jewel a year ago because my 8 year old became fascinated with African cooking. The staff was so helpful and offered up great ideas for her. A friend from work told me of another place that was bigger so we tried there as well. My baby said they're alright but it doesn't feel like home. What started as a black history project has turned into a loyal shopper. 1 suggestion, a few children cook books with stories of where the dish originated from...
