Ok. So, the Whole chicken with fries(!) was a win with our kids. My wife who is West African also liked the chicken enough to want to know the spice. My chicken & Jollof was very good. Would order again in a heartbeat. I was particularly pleasantly surprised by the plantains. Most places don’t do them right and they come out greasy. These were perfect. I had to stop my kid from eating them. My wife ordered the Jollof and snapper. I was amazed they were able to fit a whole fish in that takeout box. They did by bending the tail over and it looked great. Here I will be a bit critical- perhaps a bit too critical. We get better fish at our home on the eastern shore. IMO it’s hard to get really great fish here in DC. It was good- good enough that she had seconds the next day- but not what we are used to. We will definitely order from here again. The chicken and rice and pepper sauce were all big wins.
