West African Cuisine
Sunday, December 2, 2012
Yesterday, we had the opportunity to eat West African Food at a local
place near UK Campus simply named Sav’s Grill.
It has a limited menu, but that keeps the prices low and the service
fast. Roger ordered the peanut beef. I
chose the leaf and beef. A large bowl
ran us $6.75 for each dish – a steal! We
cheaped out and ordered water, but they have an array of ginger beers and
foreign sodas too. The atmostphere is
beautiful, I must say! African vibes
everywhere, bright colors, and spacious tables.
I won’t say West African food is my favorite of all time. The spicy sauce they gave me to add to my
bowl was pretty hot, but I could have taken a lot more (to be fair, I love
spicy). The food is mostly rice, and my
sirloin definitely had some fatty bits, but we will still be eating there
again. It was worth it.
We also had the opportunity to try North Limestone Coffee and
Donuts. OH MY GOD they had cinnamon
monkey bread. We also got a chocolate
iced donut and a cookies and cream donut.
It was a little pricey for donuts (our total was over $4), but Roger
gave it the “best donut I have ever eaten” rating, so I would say it was worth
it. Oh, and get there when the donuts are fresh. Fresh, warm, runny chocolate is to die for. The only downside was that the
location is in the ghetto. And I mean
ghetto. It’s still worth it; I just
wouldn’t recommend going there at night by yourself. The staff are incredibly cool and relaxed
(they even invited us to the bar after closing haha).
