The interior design was very modernized and minimalist. I felt that the back room or the large white walls felt a bit lackluster. But the place was overall spotless. my friend and I were greeted with friendly staff. Our server was a young lady who could definitely use much more training on how to serve because you could tell she is very inexperienced. I am happy to say I was able to try Liberian/Lebanese Fusion cuisine. However, I do think that the entrées are extremely overpriced starting at $28. plantains were cold, and the beef skewers did not look like the photos. we both ordered a drink each, I had the Liberian girl. The drinks were very tasty, but we didn’t care to order for more than one since everything was only the higher end of pricing. definitely a place to check out for the experience and the culture. But not a place I would care to go back for.

Me and my aunt went here for dinner and the food was absolutely excellent. I offered the roasted goat shank and my aunt ordered the whole fish and the seasoning the taste of everything was absolutely perfection. The atmosphere and the staff were amazing. I will definitely be back.

My first time trying Liberian food was when Little Liberia first started their pop-ops, quality is unmatched. So glad the restaurant is now open! The skewers were amazing, perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. Every dish we tried was rich and well-seasoned. Warm atmosphere and great service too. Highly recommend!

So excited to have this gem in our neighborhood! Definitely recommend a visit. The service was so welcoming, generous and accommodating – our larger group was offered the private dining room, which we really appreciated. A special non alcoholic was even made for me too! I loved the beef skewers, collards and the special hot sauce. I felt the rice could be a bit spurced up and also I am hoping they will add some non alcoholic and gluten free options to their menu.

We’re excited for Little Liberia in the community, and hopefully Baobob Fare east is coming too. The food was tasty although I thought the Groundnut stew would be a little more spicy, but it was great. The fish was delicious and the vibe was very friendly. Looking forward to going back soon to hopefully try a few drinks.

Went during their soft opening, a great addition to the neighborhood! Had the kidney beans & chicken entree, chicken was so tender and well seasoned that it didn’t require a knife. Nice bright interior as well, hope they have outdoor seating in the summer.

Let me start by saying this with love: support within the Black community sometimes shows up in ways that feel more harmful than helpful. It’s especially painful to witness Black women tearing down other Black women. While everyone is entitled to their opinion—and my words here are not a personal attack—I do feel compelled to offer another perspective.

Here’s where I see concern: first, this was a tasting event. These types of events often come with added costs—like renting space, staffing, and supplies—which naturally raise the price. I’m confident the owner wasn’t trying to profit, but rather invest in her brand. When you’re self-promoting, the reality is that you usually spend more than you earn just to show up and put your best foot forward.

It was also an open event, meaning anyone with feedback had the opportunity to share it directly with the owner—who, by the way, was present and visible the entire time. If something didn’t meet your expectations, that could’ve been a real-time conversation. Instead, you chose to post publicly. That’s your right, of course, but from someone who was there and saw how your concern was addressed immediately and graciously, I was surprised that part wasn’t included in your review.

This young Black woman is working toward opening a full restaurant. What you experienced was only a glimpse—a small taste—of what’s to come. When the restaurant opens, I’m sure the portion sizes and experience will match expectations in a full-service setting.

Sometimes we need to pause and think before we react. Dialogue can go a long way toward understanding. There were people of many backgrounds at the event, and they showed so much support—many even went back to purchase more. Watching that made it even more disheartening to see critique coming from one of our own.

To be clear: constructive criticism is necessary. It builds stronger foundations. But negative criticism—especially when shared without context or balance—can tear down something that’s still in its infancy, still growing, still becoming. And sometimes, all it really needed was a conversation.

Just my two cents. All said with love.

To all those reading the food was phenomenal and everyone should give it a try once she open the restaurant. Visit her page she is documenting the entire process. See her journey of wanting to bring a piece of her home to your community.
