I’ve been dying to try this place for a while. Happened to be in the neighborhood and stopped in. First of all I was told food would be ready on 10 minutes and it ended up taking 30 when the place was completely bone dry empty. It was so empty the person working the register was sitting in the dining area enjoying a bottle of wine.Took the food home and it tasted ok…that is until I saw the supermarket barcode still on the cut up produce in my food. I didn’t order griot with a side of sticker. - Omar
