I quite literally never leave reviews so to be doing so means this place is quite special. There isnât a single critique I can think of for this restaurant. First time in Gambia and I happened to stumble across this place unexpectedly; the staff were so welcoming and answered all my questions.
I left and came back with a friend for lunch, we ordered the oxtail and whole jerk chicken - the oxtail was so tender and and comes with spinners! (Which iykyk is a rarity in Caribbean restaurants these days). The jerk was smoky and tender and juicy and the accompanying sauce was perfect; the right level of spice and sweet.
We had the pleasure of sitting next to the owner Malaika who is an absolute delight. Such a kind person who took the time to speak with us at length and share stories. If not for the fact I had a schedule to keep to I would have spent the entire day there. She has a great spirit about her and is very endearing to everyone around her, in the short time I was there countless people passed by to greet and interact with her. What she has been building here is very special and I recommend anyone visiting The Gambia to put this place high on the itinerary list - you wonât be...

They cater for themed events for fun nights out and it's available for hire for your celebrations or your meetings... There is also high-speed free wifi connection...
Mylika, who is the proprietor and truly the hostess with the mo-stess is always coming up with recipes to tease and tantalise your tastebubs which keeps Mo2 alive and kicking in these times.
I give thankhs for her spirit and her energy which encourages other women to stay upfull... Because as they say in Gambia "it's not easy" anyway, easy is boring ... Lol..

The attention to detail, customer care, the genuine interest and time given to every person that walked through the door made my food just taste amazing! It then became my go to for the duration of my holiday and every visit Iâve had since! If youâre vegetarian like myself, the Callaloo and Plantain wraps are delicious, not to mention the vegetable patties! Thereâs too many things to recommend like the fresh juices!
What can I say, I think I shouldâve become a member of the team, as I was in the restaurant so frequently!
Managed and lead by someone with a beautiful spirit! Donât just take my word for it, go and taste and experience it...
