Was really excited to come here and went at 9:00pm on Saturday 05/07 and they were closed an hour early (they close at 10:00PM). Extremely disappointing. But I get it, might have been a slow night. Will (attempt to) visit again and update this review accordingly.

The sambusa are too oil.. I ordered chicken sambusa, I didnt taste chicken at all
Truly unique and absolutely excellent. 100% recommend. I have a had a few sambusas before, but the goat one I had here was by far my favorite I have had anywhere. I have little experience with the other dishes (aside from the Ethiopian breads etc) but the fufu and chicken I ordered was absolutely mind blowing. It's sort of hard to describe but the fufu is a corn mush...I would liken it to grits, but a little more compacted and almost like a cake. It isn't sweet, it's mostly neutral (didn't try the rice but I saw some and it looked nice) and the reason it is mostly neutral is because the chicken dish that goes on top is like flavor-city. The main dish is a again a bit hard to describe but it's almost like a roasted chicken stew, but the chicken pieces are good size. Lots of vegetables and spices. I will advise these dishes would be spicy to some. I have some heat tolerance and I found it to be perfectly spicy, like just hot enough to be hot, but not so hot you lose enjoyment. I would say if you have no heat tolerance you may want to ask what they can suggest. The service was very friendly and informative. A quick note, this IS counter service but it is NOT fast food. It is clear they cook to order and the staff is small. It didn't take exceedingly long, but if you don't call ahead expect to wait a bit for your order. They are clearly focused on quality. This is a no frills place focused on making a selection of dishes well. The prices and portions are excellent.
Absolutely loved everything we ordered. Called and were able to get a reservation for 15 at last minute. We ordered a little of everything. The sambusas were perfection. Most of us ordered fufu with chicken or beef, a couple rice and chicken, and a variety of breads. We will 100% be returning to this restaurant in the very near future.
Pretty disappointed that it took over an hour to produce 2 coffees and 2 mango drinks. I understand that there is only one cook but if you train your wait staff to at least help alleviate that burden there would be more efficiency. All the drinks were poorly made compared to previous visits.. not to mention there were only two couples in the dining area. Im trying to be fair in understanding that food service is hard and stressful but there are many many ways to combating overflow. And if the cook is feeling backed up that doesnt justify Sacrificing the quality of your products.
