Last night the wife and I went to Fu Fu Cuisine for dinner. We had a Groupon and we realize that sometimes the places we have Groupons for are mediocre at best. That was not the case last night. This was our first experience in an African restaurant, though we have eaten at a variety of Caribbean restaurants and tons of Southern restaurants. Turns out we had a great experience from the moment we walked in the door.
Walking into the door we could see how clean and well kept the restaurant is. It's nothing fancy but clean goes a long ways with me. The decor is pleasant and the background music was nice as well. We were greeted by Ester who also happens to be the owner and the persons name seen all over the menu. She took our drink orders and pateintly waited for us to order what we wanted. The menus were great since they had pictures to go with the listed items(yes, some of us need visuals) .
We ended up starting with Beef Patties which were yummy. The dough was flaky and delicious and the filling was spiced just right. We then had the Yassa Tilapia and the Yassa Chicken. When we dine out we usually try to order very different dishes so we can taste a variety of things. The Yassa dishes just sounded so good we couldn't venture to anything else. There are several more dishes we want to try. Back to the Yassa dishes. Both were yummy with the chicken cooked so fork tenderness. The sauce was not spicy but it was tasty. The olives were present but not overpowering. We ended up ordering extra Beef Patties so we could have them for lunch the next day.
All in all the service was great, the atmosphere was good and the food was good.
