What Our Customers Are Saying

"Went there yesterday with my Sister-in-law. The place is super neat and well organized. Prices are reasonable and clearly displayed — which you don't always see at a lot of African markets. she had a wide variety of items too. The owner was really nice and welcoming. She also carries Jollof now and Atasu sauce from Atare Foods, which was the main reason we had gone there, but the whole place totally impressed me. I'd definitely recommend checking it out!"
