"This small, rustic establishment features the cooking of Ivory Coast, including attieke, a coarsely textured cassava stodge with a delightfully sour flavor. It’s served with a relish or two, a cube of salty Maggi, and fried fish, which comes smothered in a mustard mince of onions and tomatoes. Fried chicken and roast lamb are offered, and a stew or two is often available, thickened with okra and palm oil. Grin also serves espresso, a ubiquitous vestige of French colonialism in Ivory Coast." - Robert Sietsema
