This place is now called The Dish and is on Dublin-Granville Road. I have been a patron of this restaurant for over a year and I love their peanut butter soup. I highly recommend this restaurant. They are very friendly and they have excellent food.

I stopped here for lunch and had the chicken and rice. I loved the dish. The rice had a wonderful Smokey ness. The chicken was crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. The red sauce had just the right amount of kick. I thought the side salad was a great accompaniment. The flavors are sticking with me and I just want more.

Delicious. Try the fish dish and the in-house ginger drink. Outstanding!

The food was incredibly tasty, and the service was excellent. However, the portion size was a bit too much for someone with a smaller appetite like mine.

I ordered chicken tails with jollof rice ‼‼‼‼‼ I will be back in the near future‼ Definitely a great atmosphere & very friendly people‼‼‼‼‼

I had chicken with curry rice, spice in the side. So good!

I don't normally try new things, but I was at an activity conference and a fellow activity director wanted to try this restaurant. Wow it was amazing. The staff was so sweet and willing explained the different dishes. When the food came out it looked just like the picture on the wall. They have great customer service. Very friendly. I will definitely be going back. Thanks for a great experience. Tammy Point

I honestly don’t know where to begin; second to none, close to home feeling, feels like I’m eating in my mama’s kitchen. Friendly and professional service, busy at all times, Patience is required due to high demand levels. Amazing food and music, clean and comfortable surroundings. Go for lunch and/or dinner with friends and loved ones, trust me it’s so worth it. More to say but will end it here.
