My go-to place for all african food. It's always well furnished and very clean. The location is great, and the owners are very nice people.

Small clean store with friendly people. Small selection of African and Caribbean meats, produce and fish. Convenient location.

Clean well-stocked store. I don't know much about African foods overall yet, but I was seeking white yams that I had in the Caribbean, and found them here. Delighted! The owner is very friendly and helpful.
