"This was my first time trying African fufu and it was good :) Staff was very patient with me cause I definitely didn’t know what to order far as the soups that comes with the fufu. Very satisfied. That fish was VERY seasoned with a hit of spice. And the soup… yummy! Will try again honestly."

"My Daughter and I wanted to try Fufu and Oh Boy it was delicious. We tried two of the soups…. VERY flavorful. We are very pleased with the service. Would definitely recommend and would definitely go back for more! The staff was very kind also. They were patient with us- as we didn’t know what to order. Made us feel so comfortable with their super sweet and very friendly personalities."

"I wanted to try African food. Abis did not disappoint! So good. We had egusi with pounded yam and spiced goat. Was very spicy. Also messy. So be prepared with lots of napkins. Fufu was on point. The guy at the counter that took my order was very nice and polite. He offered me plasticware and when I said yes, he said you’re not going to eat with your hands.!?! We laughed. I said yes I’m going try to eat with my hands, I forgot lol but just in case. Prices were a little higher than I expected. But so worth it. Plan on spending over 20$ a person."
