Great food, native and amazing service . 10/10. Only tip is the music was a little bit too loud to have a conversation but 11/10 restaurant and food. If you love west African food in Cardiff go here!

The chilli sauce was also amazing. Highly recommend, the people were lovely. If I’m ever in Cardiff again will definitely g
We accidentally ended up trying this place. Man was it delicious. I’ve never really had proper west African food before. It was so tasty!!! Great service. thank you
