- JCJoeCNew York City •5 reviews5.0Dined on Mar 2, 2025The wait staff was so helpful and nice. The food was outstanding. We had a goat appetizer and then had a beef stew with coconut milked spinach and a delicious rice dish. My dining partner had the grilled chicken. Both were delicious. The manager came by and chatted and shared stories and connections to Africa.
