Steven Pritchard ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
A great place to experience homemade, traditional African food. We had chicken wings, jollof rice with fried beef and the X Large grilled fish. All were fantastic but the fish was definitely the highlight.
Bonzi Somarib ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Great food, native and amazing service . 10/10. Only tip is the music was a little bit too loud to have a conversation but 11/10 restaurant and food. If you love west African food in Cardiff go here!
