Great African restaurant with excellent flavors and decent portion sizes.
As it's hard to find reservations on the weekends, decided to come here with my family (5). Made a reservation the day of just in case. The restaurant itself is a little on the smaller side with around 20ish capacity, so it may not be suitable for large groups unless you call ahead.

Not greasy. The pilaf rice was well perfumed. And you also pick a drink. Although my ginger drink came with an extra, it was worth it. Intense ginger taste. I like it but be careful if you are not used to ginger. The staff are very friendly and nice. They will take good care of you. They definitely know how to grill and know their...
