Delicious African restaurant. The meals are amazing. Many choices of meats, but many vegan and gluten-free options available. They also have a breakfast menu, ideal combination to start your day! The service is great. I loved it and will come back anytime!

In one word, phenomenal. Particularly if you love spicy food. The oxtail is sublime. The jollof rice is spiced to perfection. Ask for a side of hot sauce, you won't regret it! Extremely small eat-in space, so takeout is recommended.

The food was awesome and the gentleman serving us was super friendly.My partner and I walked by and the smell was so good we knew we had to eat here. I was even more excited when they had both gluten-free and vegan food. I had the veggie platter with jollof rice and my partner had the black pork with curry rice. We both really liked our meals and the plantain was amazing.Super laid back atmosphere. They are clearly confident in the foods ability to bring people in and invest in that and having a functional website. Would recommend everyone to go at least once.

Chef Mary and her daughter are quite a team! We were WOWED!! The Egusi stew with beef and groundnut soup with chicken were delicious. We were advised that the soup was spicy, and it was; but rather than being it too spicy, our senses were overjoyed by the flavors! Yum!!! If we lived in Halifax, we’d be regular customers. The space is small, so if you are planning to dine in, which we did, you may have a short wait or can share a table. You can also reserve on-line. The food is prepared to order and we waited 20 minutes which wasn’t long at all. We’d happily wait double that for Mary’s delicious food.We returned for dinner today because the food was so mouthwateringly delicious. Once again, Mary’s food is the tastiest, most flavorful we have eaten in Nova Scotia. The Grilled Chicken with black-eyed peas and lentil rice and Chicken Yassa with spinach and pumpkin seed and Jollof rice were YUMMY. Thank you!!

Loved the veggie platter! All vegan. I chose curry rice as my side and fried plantains, stewed cabbage and black-eyed peas as my three veg dishes. Wish I lived in Halifax! Just so delicious. I would be coming every day!

My experience here was good. I went in to get some breakfast as it said all day breakfast on the outside but they were actually out and I decided to pick up something else which I'm glad I did.I had the grilled chicken with spinach and pumpkin seeds with lentil rice and it was amazing.Lots of beautiful faces and also menu options to keep you coming back for more.I actually left my wallet somewhere in the store and the person at the front actually carried it to me while I was eating. I am so grateful.Will visit again

This place is fantastic.I just ate the grilled chicken, spicy rice and cabbage. It was amazing, i would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone.There is a wide range of food and the service is quick and friendly. The price is very fair, the portion size is great and the atmosphere was welcoming.

First time trying the cuisine. I was pleased with the chicken yassa, would definitely get it again and recommend to a friend. The roti was also good. All the condensation made it soggy though.

If I could give more than five stars for service I would. I forgot my toast and their cook ran half a block after me to make sure I got it. We went and got their gluten free breakfast which was VERY reasonably priced and I had the 3x3 (which is not gluten free) which was also great. Their falafel is incredible as well. Soft on the inside, crunchy on the outside. I have paid 3x for falafel half as good. The gluten free pancakes were also some of the best I've had. But the falafel is the real show stopper here. Sorry I didn't get pictures of it but they were too good to wait
