There is something wonderful about going back to one's African roots and partaking in familiar food from the Motherland, prepared with finesse. Takes me right back to my youth.
If someone asked me what I would wish my last meal on earth to be, it would be this place. You start with a lamb/lentil type broth with the lamb flavour in the background, which, in itself, is amazing and gets your appetite going.
The suqqar (stew) ... chicken or beef is tender, rich in flavour, marinated with perfectly balanced spices and prepared with love. You can ask for it to be mild, medium or spicy, we go for the spicy. There are what appear to be Scotch bonnet peppers in the beef. The rice - fluffy, long-grained and prepared with saffron. The presentation - amazing. The cardamon tea - goes so well with the meal.
The service at this place is amazing. The owner is a gracious and welcoming host. We don't go here often enough as it is far from where we live. Worth the drive - go there! You will not regret it!
