Excellent food options. Visited with colleagues and we tried different dishes including; Eguisi + pounded yam + meat, bitterleaf + pounded yam+ meat, and jollof + fried plantain + chicken. All three options were great delicacies. The atmosphere was calm and cozy (we visited on a weekday, Monday, I can't speak of weekends or on other days). Friendly staffs with good customer service.

A nice,decent African restaurant located on Hyde Road in Manchester. If you ever fancy having a good African cuisine, would recommend this. The location is very central to various groceries stores and the famous African/carribean restaurant/bar (Root) is situated on the same road.
