This place is totally buzzing with people, food and noise. On our last day in the USA, we went there. We went to a BBQ to eat. Not angry. Its so much easier to stay outside the market. And the food was thrilling. There is all sorts of food inside. Quite interesting location and loved to come here

Nice store with a wide variety of African and Caribbean foods. Very nice owner too. Just steps away from close the Wilson red line. Will go back there again.

Pleasant and very helpful. Its a family store, father, mother, daughter all work there and theyre so welcoming. They will describe the types of meat and what to use (which is perfect for those who are not familiar with all meat cuts) for some dishes. I would recommend this place quite highly.

This morning, I planned on having some groceries for my one week vacation, that’s why I went to this certain grocery store. All of my desired foods, amenities, canned goods, etc. were there. Also, the saleslady was accommodating, hospitable, and polite. She was the person that I am happy to meet with. At this moment, I realized that I was lucky enough to visit that shop today. Keep up the good work. I would come again soon!

Good range of items and amazing prices! A wonderful range of packaged goods from Irish and English, as well as a frozen section, which delighted my visiting cousin by getting Irish Style Bacon in stock.

A great place for African food, ointments, and clothing. It is my number 1 spot for the best Africans products in the city. The owners were very helpful and quick registering me. I love it is a family business with all of their sons helping out too. 5 stars for quality and 5 stars for customer service .

Always come to this shop to buy things for my husband and his parents when they come into town. The workers are very friendly and I enjoy coming in too. The aisle are tight but they are packing a lot in such a small shop. I hope they are successful enough to get a bigger shop one day.

Has every Nigerian staple food and ingredient you need to make some bomb food. Also had the freshest yams Ive seen among ethnic markets in the area. Might be slightly overpriced but you will definitely find what youre looking for. They even had small african hens cut into pieces and bagged!! Great selection.
