That would be Forbes and Meyran, I believe. It's called Himalayan Tibetan and is the second door from the corner on the north side of Forbes, west of Meyran. > I've > only been there once but it was good and inexpensive - kind of > like Spice Island but with slightly better decor. Only *slightly* better. I think it's lots better. :-) Kate

However we now have Kayla's Place on Penn between St. Francis and E. Liberty. They have some African dishes on the menu although the overall cuisine is eclectic with a Med- iterranean emphasis. At least you can get plantains and jollof rice and a couple of other things and authentic foo-foo. I believe the owner/chef is from Zaire. Kate

He is a friend of my brother-in-law, who is also Nigerian. The food is essentially Nigerian ( though I think Jollof rice comes from Senegal or Gambia). The food at Kayla's is pretty good, but I wish they expanded their African menu. Ralph
