    After coordinating for catering services, the point of contact ghosted me. Very unprofessional when I was going to spend almost $2000 at this establishment for my wedding. They need better processes for catering. It was a major inconvenience to try to find someone else last minute. ——— Update after response from owner: the owner did tell me they had a family emergency on Sept 24. That night they provided the quote for my order. On Sept 25, the following morning I asked how should I pay and get a contract. On Sept 29 I sent a follow up text. On Sept 30, anxious because my wedding is Oct 18, I offered family condolences and asking if someone on her team could help me instead. I got no response whatsoever, so I rushed to find another caterer at short notice.

    We tried this hidden restaurant for the first time and we really enjoyed the food. The food was well seasoned, delicious, flavourful, and a good portion. I will definitely visit again and recommend it to anyone looking for a good African restaurant.

    First time trying this place; but it was not as tender as my usual spot with the same menu. There was a man there folding bags who did not seem friendly…maybe do to culture differences.. it was almost as if he was rushing me to leave while I was waiting for my$80 purchase…
