Everything was great. Visited yesterday evening and they were patient with us (friends train was delayed). The food was delicious and portions were reasonable - especially recommend the fish, suya and jollof. The service from the two gentlemen that evening was friendly and attentive. Thank you!

Absolute perfection Had my first date here and it was Amazing Let’s talk about the food…my goodness I had the fish and it was so delicious..was contemplating on the taste but decided to go for it. To my greatest surprise, I was entirely satisfied. Had non alcoholic cocktail and it was so nice as well. The staffs were welcoming and great. I can’t even keep calm on the uniqueness of this place..the lightings are superb alongside the clean environment Well organised . Thank you for having us

Food: we ordered Asun, Prawns and Suya for starters; these alone could double as mains. The Asun was spicy juicy and fresh. Nice portion for a starter. Prawns big, juicy and nicely seasoned. Suya was great, spicy and again good portion. We also ordered the surf and turf! Let's just say, the salad alone was top notch so you can imagine the rest of the meal. The steak was a good size and looks as good as it tastes. Now... The lobster tail and the butter garlic dip! . I think I ate too fast . Definitely worth giving it a go. Service: Femi, and the chef are very caring, mindful and all round great service. They were attentive to us and what we needed. The atmosphere was relaxed, chilled and music playing at very good volume. Deco was just right, not over whelming but we'll thought through. Overall great experience, this was my second time and certainly not my last. Well done guys!

The food at this restaurant was so good. I was absolutely stuffed because I ate it all, and they did not scrimp on the portions. I definitely had my moneys worth. I had the jerk ribs with jollof rice, coleslaw, and a small corn on the cob. The service was great, the decor and atmosphere were a vibe. A hidden gem located in New cross. Sublime West African cuisine. I would recommend and definitely visit again.

The ambience was great, while the food was freshly prepared and delicious. The portions were reasonable. The waiters were helpful and friendly. Pina Colada, I will recommend having. I hope the standard will not decline

Food and drinks were all gorgeous here! It’s the best grilled lamb I’ve ever had in this country. My partner and I both agreed we’d come again tomorrow when we had first bite of the lamb chops. The tunes are definitely awesome, we enjoyed it so much! Highly recommended!

Love love love. I came here on my birthday and loved every bit of this meal. We had the platter and grilled fish.. delicious. The lady who attended to us overheard it was my birthday and gave me a lovely surprise accompanied with some birthday . Very touching. I recommend.

Now this was a great bottomless brunch! The 2 platters were super filling with such an assortment to try on each platter. Unlimited cocktails that were delicious! Service from Debra was amazing. This place was spotless, cute and the music was great. Such a vibe!
