👍 This restaurant just opened and was looking forward to giving it a try. I stopped in with a friend after an event to get a couple of drinks. The place was very nice and we sat at the huge bar.

OSU Jerk Grill

Caribbean restaurant

👍👍 Food was good here. The rice at this location is by far one of the best I had from a Jamaican restaurant. The jerk chicken wasn't dried and very tasty. The quantity of food is enough to feed two people but if you want to honor this location you make sure "no food is left over". Can't wait to try oth...

👍👍 Nigerian food at its finest. The appetizers are great. The swalo is unreal. Finest pounded yam with egusi. I enjoyed dining there and doing take away.

The Green Place

African restaurant

👍 My Nigerian boyfriend and I always come here for their egussi and Efo riro. The flavors are simply amazing. We have also tried their jollof but it’s not our favorite as it’s a bit too smoky for us. They also only take cash which is inconvenient. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone...
