    Delicious! The food was fantastic with balanced flavors and quality ingredients. There is a great variety for everyone - I had a vegan coconut curry and veggie sambusas. My boys had spicy chicken entrees. The portion sizes are great and a good value for the price. The meals were ready for pick up right on time and well packaged for the drive home. Staff was very friendly! This was our first time ordering and we will definitely be back!

    Stopped in for lunch and was happy to find I had two vegan entree options. They let me take a taste of vegan egusi and navy beans stew, and I ended getting rice with a half portion of each. I also got the strawberry ginger lemonade (highly recommend to help digest this hearty meal). Everything was so delicious, filling, fresh, and wholesome. They offer a student/teacher 15% discount on Tuesdays and Wednesdays which was a huge plus. I ate in the cafe and I thought the ambience was nice. Staff were kind and helpful. Thanks!

    5/5 and here’s why: • Superb customer service • Ordered their Spicy Beef Egusi Fufu. Had plenty to bring home for round 2, LOL. Finger-lickin delicious! • Chai w/ milk is SO YUMMY. Better than Starbucks by a long shot. But seriously. The aromatics, the freshness, and perfect amount of honey. Sadly I’ll be moving but when I come back to visit MKE best believe Immy’s is where I’m going!!!!
