I came in for lunch and immediately felt so seen, welcomed, and valued for being there. The woman serving me gave me the biggest smile from the beginning, was so attentive, and thanked me for choosing the cafe for my lunch. And boy I wish I could come everyday. Maybe I’ll treat myself for dinner on the way back from work! 😋
It was some of the best home cooked soul food I’ve had in a long while, with the vegetables done perfectly right. I am not a big meat eater and I sometimes find that soul food spots overcook and ruin the vegetable, but everything seemed fresh here. There’s also a to go salad bar if you’d like that, but for your first time I highly recommend the hot bar. I had the baked chicken (they give you two pieces which is so generous) and two sides—the veggie rice and the green beans! Both so good! My favorite was actually the green beans. Ask what they recommend; they’ll tell you what’s special that day that they don’t usually serve.
You can tell this spot is dedicated to serving the community. Such a peaceful and positive spot. It is also halal and a very welcoming place for Muslim customers which is great. Proudly black-owned. I hope to see this spot stay around for a long time and for more places like this to open around the city! I’ll be back soon—much love to you all!
I don't usually get to eat Southern style food, so I was really excited to find a halal place! I got the ribs with 3 sides - all of it was so good and I had leftovers for the next day. It is a bit pricey, but I would still highly recommend 😸
Meat and 3 spot. I originally came for the tea shop that is housed in the same storefront but had to try the food after getting a good look at it. Excellent customer service, well-seasoned food.
It’s unfortunate I don’t live closer or I would be a regular. It straight up tastes like someone’s Southern gramma is in the kitchen! It’s got a community vibe. If you’re in the area, be sure to check it out.
While waiting for a tow truck in the pouring rain, I decided to check this place out because I drive past so often. The woman at the tea counter made the best cup of tea I’ve ever had. Got the caramel apple ceylon - a seasonal specialty. Definitely recommend!
Peace Family,
This meal right here ( lol ) is my favorite meal. A party in belly!
Grilled Salmon - Eggplant Stew - Mac n Cheese & Navy Beans. ( I always switch up my sides. )
This establishment IS my 2nd home! I promise! The vibes are ALWAYS loving, the staff is incredible & the food is very much so on point!
Now excuse me while I TEAR UP this plate pictured below.
Wow! Perfect for out-of-towners and locals alike. Amazing food. FRIENDLY service. A real community feel. I’m in town from Boston, and I didn’t know the process to order — but the lady was SO amazing and helpful, and I ended up with the most delicious food. Thank you!! Best zucchini I’ve ever had — the seasonings! Best wishes, y’all.

The food and the bean pie are always so delicious and tasty! Consistency in the food preparation is important and they have perfected their dishes. Halal and healthy! We had chicken dinner and lamb shank dinner with tasty veggies seasoned to perfection!
This place is amazing for anyone who is a tea lover of such as myself. The service is top-notch and the knowledge of the ladies who work there is impressive they have teased that heal the body and the soul. It's definitely on my list of places to visit on a weekly basis.
I had a nice experience. Food was good but the rice could have used more seasoning. The mac-n-cheese tasted a bit sweet. Was charged for meat & three when I only ordered two sides. Noticed it after receiving my receipt. Lkked that drink was included with the meal. Staff was friendly. Didn't order dessert. Do you have desserts?
When I say this is one of my favorite restaurants in the city. Food is excellent a d just a great atmosphere. Lamb shank, turkey lasagna or any meal you get, the food is quality. You will enjoy the experience.
