Tucked inside Thornlie Square, this family-run kitchen dishes out hearty, Halal-certified West African staples with unmatched warmth. Regulars lean on the fall-apart tender lamb paired with light soup and fufu, or heapings of smoky jollof rice served beside fried chicken and golden puff puffs. Generous portions routinely yield second meals at home, best finished with a dab of house-made shito chili sauce.
