Customer Review Summary
Diners come for the soups, with ukazi soup and okro soup singled out by name, and one first-timer says Abacha instantly became a favourite. Close behind are the portions, which several call big or really good, alongside fair prices. Reviewers describe the food as flavoursome, spicy and freshly cooked, and several new to African food say staff took time to explain the dishes and answer questions. One notes the meat is Halal. The welcome gets as much mention as the food: reviewers call the staff friendly and helpful, and one visitor from the Caribbean describes sitting down with a friend and being drawn into conversation with strangers until it became a whole vibe. Several say they plan to return to try more of the menu, and one first-time customer says they left happy and full.
