Reviews
"Delicious and unique! Went to lunch here with my hubby. Placed our order over the phone then arrived about 25 minutes later to eat in at the restaurant. Food was warm, plentiful, and delicious. Here's what we got: Drinks: Baobab juice ( Yummy!) Pineapple-Ginger juice (Ginger forward - pair with water when you need a break!) Appetizers: Beignets (I see these being a crowd pleaser for anyone!) Allocco (Love plantains!) Main Courses: Choco: (Lamb in tomato sauce with rice) - moist and tender! Riz Au Gras: (Chicken sections with jollof rice and veggies) - eat the chicken with the veggies to balance out moist and dry. Eat the rice with the cabbage for tasty flavor combinations! Overall the meals were great. Felicity does it all! Will have to bring the rest of the family next time!"
"The food was great. The place is so lovely. The lady who cooks the food is amazing. I loved the place! It feels like you are eating at home. The service is nice. My new place to go at Iowa City!"
"My husband, best friend and I decided to visit this lovely African restaurant. The food was very tasty and the portions were large. We started with a plantain appetizer, then we ordered the fried rice with chicken, the chobo (the lamb was absolutely delicious and hit all the right spots), and the okra soup with fufu. The hibiscus juice was very good, the restaurant was clean with a lovely ambience, and customer service was great. The only reason I'm not giving this place 5 stars is because of the over one hour wait before we were served. Unfortunately, we arrived hungry and were pretty much starving by the time our food arrived an hour later (yes, I timed it). I don't know if it was because we visited on a Sunday and there was only one person in the kitchen, but I hope the wait isn't always this long as we hope to visit again!"
"Found a new favorite in Iowa City! The food was incredible! We had the Soupe Royale (ox tail soup), Attieke plate with whole red snapper, and Haricots a la Viande. The homemade juices were also fantastic. The staff was friendly and attentive. I should have taken the pictures before we started eating, but it just smelled so good we couldn't wait. The soup came with three ox tails. We are already planning on going back. So looking forward to it."
