THE MAIN
The salt fish burger was very tasty, it also had plantain inside along with a sauce which was delicious. Only thing is we wish it was bigger!
The Jollof had that great colour it had some flavour but could of done with abit more and we feel like it could of been spicier!
The lamb skewers were really tasty the spices were fiery and not for the faint hearted but bursting with jerk flavour. The peri chips tasted soo good they were border line crispy but maintained the fluffy texture inside; they tasted like thai sweet chilli flavouring😍.
THE SIDES
The Mac and cheese was made well and was quite cheesy the only thing was the top layer was abit too overcooked but didn’t take away the flavour.
The plantain was ripe and cut well it tasted really good as it was sweet and fried to perfection.
The homemade coleslaw was really nice and creamy. It went well with the whole dish and was a good addition as it cooled our tongues from all the hot spices.
THE drink
To wash the meal down we were blessed with a Strawberry & Mango drink which was refreshing and sweet! They got the perfect balance as the mango didn’t overpower the drink or make it thick.
