“ Service was friendly. Even went to the store next door to get help when English and Spanish didn’t work out. Simple but tasty dishes. ”
“ Great homemade style African food!!! This was a nice discovery of a place since it is tucked away in a nondescript street. Great lunch prices and very good portions. Overall a very nice surprise, good service from the owner (and a smile! Not common in las Palmas) and overall quality food. Don’t expect Michelin quality though, this is homemade food!!! But worth every cent. ”
