The food was genuinely excellent and the room made us feel looked after all evening. Best table we have had in Osu in a long time.

Review from Google

Booked the back room for fourteen. One set menu, everything came out hot and together, and nobody had to chase anything down.

Review from Google

Beautiful room and a proper grill. It fills up after eight on a Friday so book ahead — we waited twenty minutes and it was worth it.

Review from Google

I come most Sundays with my mother. The chicken is the reason, the plantain is the other reason, and they remember how she takes it.

Selorm Agbo

Review from TripAdvisor

Took visiting clients here and they have not stopped talking about the pizza. The oven is the real thing and you can taste it.

Yvonne Okine

Review from Google

Warm service, honest portions and a bill that did not surprise anyone. Parking is tight on a Saturday, so come early or take a car.
