Warning, this review is from a white person who has never had authentic African food.
The reviews for this restaurant are all very good so you can obviously take mine with a grain of salt. I am just going to be honest.
When we arrived there was only 1 other customer there who was getting food to go. While we were there no other customers arrived until we were almost ready to go & I think they were getting take out too.
If you like ESPN2 you'll be happy as there were 2 TVs with it & you can hear the audio as there is no Muzak or anything to distract from it...other than the buzzing / beeping sound that came from the front door area, about every 30 seconds.
I read reviews beforehand to get an idea of what to expect so when the food took a long time I was not that surprised.
I was surprised that there was a bone in the teriyaki chicken & rice we ordered and my husband was not very happy that the soda he ordered was just served in an aluminum can with no offer of a glass of ice.
I found it strange that there was a bottle of Softsoap hand soap on many of the tables like they were included in the centerpiece. I was not impressed by the fact that the back of the chairs had dirty handprints on them (they are light wood) & there were 2 sticky sesame seeds on the tablecloth in front of me when I sat down.
When we were done eating my husband went up front to get the check & pay. He was told the person who knows how to use the register was not there. We had to decide whether to use the ATM & leave a big tip or wait longer to be able to use our card. We decided to use our card.
As we were waiting, an elderly woman came over to our table & used a paper napkin (from the napkin dispenser on the table) to wipe the rice of the tablecloth. It might just be me but I thought that would be better done AFTER we had left & using a warm soapy washcloth or some kind of disinfectant might be a good idea.
Overall we were not impressed & don't plan on going back again but the man who waited on us was friendly. Just not our cup of tea.
