I had been looking for an African restaurant that sells Cassava Leaf, as my sister from Sierra Leone moved to Canada. I found this restaurant and the Cassava Leaf was delicious, and oh so spicy just how I like it. I’ve tried other African restaurants Cassava Leaf and was always so disappointed. So happy that I found this Gem. I’m going to explore to find other dishes that I like in the future. For now. Imma stick with their delicious Cassava Leaf!
