Absolutely terrific goat stew with jollof rice. Super tender and no bones, which is rare! Ask them to heat it up for you and bop on over to the lake to eat with a nice view. Super friendly people and great service!

Great new store to the neighborhood but permanent homeless encampment directly across the street makes walking here a safety issue

I popped in today to get the hot Jamaican curry powder, and I knew I'd find it here. At the register there is a sign with a menu of food, and the cashier said they're testing it out, though I don't know the days. I assume it's during the week based or it's on the way. The plantain at the front of the store were perfect for cooking and ready to go. I should have picked some up when I was there, but they have a fair amount of items. I've never had fufu, but the mix for that, lots of frozen whole fish, flour, Nigerian and Jamaican curry powder, etc etc.
