To say our group from Yelp overpowered this small place would be an understatement. It is not designed for large groups and I think we would have better served ourselves to have ordered in small groups as we arrived and had the food come out in that fashion than try and get all the orders on the table at once. Part of a UYE is the camaraderie so I am pretty sure staggered serving would not have been a big deal and the food would have been hotter when it arrived. As it was none of us had a clue what it was supposed to taste like so judgmental we were not. I had curry goat stew, fufu and rice. I got the impression this was common folk food, you make a base and toss in what vegetables and meat you have that week. Sort of like the West African version of comfort food.
Our experience from the owner and staff was very positive in my opinion. Dottsy had made reservations and they had apparently brought in an extra server for the evening. At one point early it appeared somebody had ordered a drink they were short on ingredients for or maybe the kitchen ran out of something and one of the servers dashed off to the store. The owner/cook and his staff were bending over backwards to fill every reasonable request. When the owner was out on the floor you could just feel his enthusiasm for what he was doing.
I got out of there feeling full and well taken care of and with a beer, tax and tip I only spent $20. While I do not think this will be a food often eaten by anybody I know, it and the service should bring enough people in to keep the place open. One word of caution; if you drive a full sized pick up you can get boxed in if you don't pay attention in advance as to how you are going to get out.
