I find myself in a bit of a dilemma while writing this review. After our go-to restaurant closed its doors, my boyfriend & I decided to give its second location a try. Unfortunately, our experience has been quite mixed. The old place set a high standard, though there was an odd situation with a waitress who insisted on dictating tips, that was annoying. Hopefully she won't be back when the restaurant relaunches. This location hasn't been consistent. On several occasions, we ordered the chicken plate only to find it undercooked in various places. Unlike the previous menu, they no longer offer boneless chicken breast, only boneless thighs, which is a noticeable difference in taste. The piri piri sauce seems to lack that rich flavor they used to have. Despite expecting more from their only remaining location, the overall experience was inconsistent, leaving us consistently disappointed. I am not sure if we'll be returning.

Mauvaise expérience avec le cuisinier (probablement haïtien) qui fait de l'intimidation aux clients. En plus, d'avoir l'haleine d'alcool, il est irrespectueux & arrogant envers la clientèle. Il m'a ouvertement dit de ne plus revenir à SON restaurant, après avoir argumenté sur son protocole de ramassage de commande en ligne.
