"We can't stop talking and dreaming about this West African eatery in Gaithersburg, one of the least expected finds in a seriously suburban community. This joins the growing ranks of ethnic eats in Gaithersburg that now include Thai, American pub and American steakhouse, Mexican and Salvadoran. But none can match the delights produced by the kitchen in this well-scrubbed eatery. Goat as you've never enjoyed it comes in various guises. Our favorite: fufu with goat, a chili-rich soup-stew that might set you on fire if it were not for the cooling effects of fufu, or ground plantain, that resembles, with a little imagination, mashed potatoes
