I was really craving some authentic African food and decided to give this place a try. I originally ordered the Ofro Riro, but due to a misunderstanding with the young cashier who appeared to be a child I ended up with Egusi instead. When I pointed out the mix-up, he mentioned that I had asked about the most popular dish, which is Egusi. That was true, but I also mentioned that I usually order Egusi and wanted to try something different this time.

I politely asked if I could get a small portion of the Ofro Riro on the side (and I was willing to pay for it), and he said he needed to heat it up. What he brought out was more of a taste than an actual serving, but I didn’t make a fuss since I had to leave to pick up my children.

Unfortunately, once I got home, the meal didn’t seem fresh at all, it didn’t look or taste like it was made that day, and the flavor was very bland that I had to try to jazz it up myself just so I won’t waste my money. I appreciate the effort, but based on this experience, I don’t...

I’m not sure what culinary war crime I just ate, but I’m fairly certain it took years off my life. The food tasted like ash, as if someone had seasoned it with the remains of a campfire and despair. Every bite left me wondering if the chef accidentally mistook a chimney for a spice rack.

By the time I finished, I felt like I had bronchitis — coughing, wheezing, and questioning my life choices. It’s as though the dish didn’t want to be eaten; it wanted to take me down with it.

The texture was a tragic mix of burnt and rubbery, and the flavor clung to my tongue like a bad memory. Even my drink couldn’t wash away the taste of disappointment.

If this was meant to be “smoky,” someone needs to tell the chef that there’s a difference between smoked and incinerated.

⭐☆☆☆☆ — One star for being a humbling reminder that not everything on a plate is meant for human...
