“ Ever since I’ve been to the south side of Florida, I’ve been missing that authentic soul food that I desire. Found this place on google and decided to give it a try. This restaurant is AUTHENTIC. The atmosphere, the workers, the FOOD. Just wow! Everyone was super nice. The curry reminded me of my moms cooking. We got a large bowl. I don’t even chew rice, I swallow it. My wife and I both shared one plate. I couldn’t finish it. Completely stuffed and full. I ended up eating the rest the next morning. The portions were beyond generous. I don’t care what anyone says about this place. I WILL GO BACK. Thank you for reminding me of my home in Ghana. ”
