One star off for the service
The food was excellent! Delicious melding of flavors, sauces were delectable, ordered lots of different things, just to gauge if I would come back. The answer is definitely YES, based on the food.
The Zanzi fries with the added Jerk Chicken-Lawd Hammercy! Oxtail burger was succulent, the sweet potato tots were so perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, absolutely loved loved loved the shrimp burger, had such good crunch elements from the greens, but it was a tad salty, and this is where I had trouble with the service.
Granted, I could see that the take out orders were busy, and they had two servers. Dining room wasn't that busy though. They only serve you a drink, but I had trouble with someone refilling the glass, no one walked around to see if you needed anything else. I asked for water several times and she never got back to me. So finally when I went to pay the bill she acted exasperated that I asked for water! Like, I'm not bothering you, you're just not doing your job!
Lol she was pleasant nonetheless, but kept getting things wrong (not my fault, SHE messed up the orders!)
I was VERY patient, considering.....
Words of advice:
Have your servers make sure they are serving enough water lol, it's essential
But let me not scare people off!
This is a great restaurant
I love the owner, he is ABOUT his business, his Brand, much respect
Restaurant is clean and nicely decorated, very Afrocentric, I would definitely recommend and return
