They have changed the appearance of the place, which made it appropriate for a restaurant. Now you get to see what is going into your order. I purchased Meatpie on March 10th, and it was the worst meatpie I have ever eaten. Its terrible to the point that I had to trash it after the first bite.

Absolutely the best African food that I have had since I moved here 15 years ago. WAAKYE with Fish is a must try. Try the BANKU as well, really adds to the complete dining experience.

The food was great. I hardly eat out, however, we really enjoyed the goat soup with fufu. Bought so kebabs, pi, peanut cake, then fried yams another time. It was good. The staff were polite even though it was my first time.

Cashier was very nice and accomadating. Food was not spicy and very flavorful. I will visit again.
