"I've been working with Marlene & Fredrick for over a few months now to secure them as the caterer for a UMN event which just happened last night! Marlene is both kind & patient. To say that the food was a success would be a huge understatement! The food was AMAZING! The food was delivered very hot & on time! Thank you again, Marlene! I highly recommend them!"
"Highlights: Delicious Food, Near Major Highways, Located In Strip Mall, Family Style Servings I have family from Liberia, so I've had the pleasure of tasting delicious homemade West African cuisine. Mid 2021- I was in this strip mall getting my hair done when a hairstylist from Liberia walked in with this delicious smelling food. I asked her where she got it from and explained to her that I have been unable to find a Liberian restaurant that taste like "home" here in the Twin Cities, and she vouched that this place was pretty good. It's been a wrap ever since. I order the same thing every single time, which is a bit costly. I think my entire order usually comes between $50 - $65, depending on if I get a small or large. I order the Whole Fish with Jolof Rice, & Collard Greens with No Meat (which you can order by size, S M L XL) The Whole Fish is nicely coated with this delicious seasoning and cooked to perfection! The Jolof Rice is delicious. The Collard Greens are so good, I've never tasted greens like it! Very original taste and I love that it's served with white rice. There is a young man who is always working, and he is very pleasant and easy to talk to. They don't have a lot of beverage options, but they do have a small grocer isle for you to purchase miscellaneous things like rice, beans, bouyon's, beverages, etc. There is a large parking lot, so parking should never be an issue. This is located in a strip mall, so you are surrounded by many other merchants. If you are quickly picking up, there is space for you to pull up briefly close to their entrance. I plan to keep supporting this place. I think the food is amazing, the staff is kind, and I always have a pleasant experience."
"The best sweet potato greens I’ve ever had from a restaurant! I love these greens and would recommend anyone looking for good authentic greens. Don’t forget the spice! The greens are full of tender smoked meats and served w/ rice & pepper sauce. You can request no meat @ an extra fee! So worth it..So good!!!"
"I apologize for not getting the picture before when the food was pretty. The smells were amazing I couldn’t wait. We had fish gravy with check rice, a fried tilapia, and spinach greens. No complaints it was well worth the small wait, clean inside and bathrooms, it was a wonderful meal 5 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"
