I was in town visiting my family for the holiday. It is a family tradition that we eat black eyed peas and a dark green vegetable like collard greens for luck and financial prosperity. My family all moved to the suburbs, so I did not feel like driving to Clinton Township to get a plate from my sister. I was relatively close to this place. After reading the reviews, I decided to give it a chance. The food is already prepared cafeteria style, so I was not sure. But honey!!!!! After midnight, I demolished my black eyed peas and collards

It's interesting that the owner is Arabic and the chef is Arabic / African, I'm not sure how or why that works but it does! I've been there 3 times and all of their food is fantastic!!! I usually order online ahead of time for convenience's sake and when I pick up, every time I get get there I'm blown away by the hot food display other food items that are available daily and are not on the online menu. Nevertheless I'm always more than satisfied with the long list of soul food items on the online menu. I especially like the variety of green vegetable choices. You can order Green Beans, Collard Greens, Mixed Vegetables or Salads. Plus, Baked and Grilled meats, love their Meatloaf, Salmon, Shrimp, Baked Chicken and everything else, their Yams are to die! for. The online ordering is smooth and so is all the staff there, lead by the charming & funny counter person Marlene

I stopped in for a late lunch in a neighborhood restaurant. I grabbed the 'BQQ Chicken Dinner' with two sides. The selection of sides was plentiful and everything is served cafeteria style with exception of their cooked to order fish. The barbecue chicken was half a chicken with no barbecue sauce (the way I like it). I chose broccoli and greens. The broccoli was almost gone so she topped it off with mixed vegetables of broccoli, carrots and cauliflower. I thought that was a nice gesture and it included cornbread. The side portions were substantial too. The meal was tasty and enough food for two. Not bad for a total of $8.47. My only reason for 4 stars is the greens were too large to consume before cutting them up to partake of them. P.S. They also have $5.00 lunch specials. Parking is right at curbside in front of the restaurant. Takeout only. Open on Mondays.

I'll be back!
