If you are looking for a very good African restaurant, then I recommend Bada African Restaurant. The food is very delicious and affordable. The service is top-notch. I was in Italy (Milan & Venice) for just 4 days, and the best food I ate is from Bada African Restaurant. The rice and chicken is very delicious and tasty.
