My friends and I took my mum here for a birthday dinner. Maryam was our waitress and she was an absolute delight. She regularly came over to see how we were doing which was really sweet. I gave her a birthday cake to bring out and she put it on a tray and dusted it with icing sugar + crushed Oreo's! She also helped us take some group photos on my Polaroid camera. Honestly, the food was great but Maryam made our evening even better! Thanks so much :)

Ate here on Sunday. Service was excellent from all the staff and special thanks to Malik :) The lamb rib starters are to die for and the chicken/prawn jollof was lovely. Will definitely come back soon! Recommended :)

Came here on a Saturday evening, the restaurant wasn’t overly busy although the service was slow. We ordered mocktails, which arrived well after our food had been served. These weren’t anything special and would’ve been better ordering a soft drink. The kids had a chicken burger with chips, the chicken was salty and one of the kids didn’t like it and so hasn’t finished it off. Us adults ordered a meat again platter, which had a selection of lamb, chicken, steak, shrimp served with jellof rice, coleslaw plus rice and peas. This platter was very tasty and the showstopper was definitely the shrimp, that was full of flavour and had the perfect crisp to it too. The steak was far too chewy despite it being medium, I wasn’t very impressed by this. The chicken filet was tender and juicy along with the lamb chops. There was a brilliant blend of flavours and everything was very well flavoured and otherwise cooked well too. The chocolate brownie desert was OK, wasn’t nicest but wasn’t the worst either. Overall, the food for the mains is definitely worth trying, drinks I wouldn’t bother ordering anything that requires them to rustle up, as they took so long to make it since there seemed to be only one bartender around.
