About
The Tavern Restaurant is praised for its authentic African cuisine, especially the mogodu and oxtail. However, service is a frequent complaint, with many diners citing long wait times and inattentive staff. The vibe is generally considered great, making it a popular spot for music and drinks, but the operational side needs work.
