    can't go wrong with samosas or lamb curry bunny chow. lamb chops were great, though chops themselves were pretty small.

    I really, really want to love this place. But service was terrible & our food was cold (would have been delicious). Frustrating! Steep prices & not even a check up for alcohol ($$)...smdh. Just sayin

    Very slow and bad service. The sweet potato quiche is amazing though and so was the burger.

    Owner said to us "you can eat my food or bigger off". Surprisingly, we stayed. An hour later, we're still waiting for the food. Thinking about buggering off.

    go to brunch and get the safari breakfast. You get a nice spicy meat sausage with mushrooms and eggs.

    Bland, texture-less food, and some of the worst service that I've had in a restaurant in a long time. Do yourself a favor: go anywhere else.

    I agree with morgo. This place has got to be the worst restaurant in Brooklyn. Over priced sub par food and moronic wait staff. I hate you brad.

    Очень приятное место, чуть слегка дороговатое. Но зато африканские товары продаются, ну и на людей поглазеть интересно.
