Skewers & Small Plates
Where flavor starts strong.
Tender steak skewers glazed with spicy peanut sauce, crispy fried plantains, and creamy mac & cheese set the tone for a bold meal. These starters celebrate West African comfort food with soul and heat.
Signature Plates
Rich, spicy, unforgettable.
From pepper soup with fufu to fried spinach stew and jollof rice, our large plates dive deep into Liberian flavor. Served hot and hearty, every dish is made to share — or to savor solo.
Cocktails & Vibes
Crafted with purpose, served with rhythm.
Our cocktails are bold, balanced, and named for family — like Theo’s Punch and the Rosalina. Paired with heat, they go down smooth and leave a lasting impression.
