"This place is also called Sankofa's kitchen. Goodness Mercy refers more to the market, but it is the same building. I recently took a trip to Senegal and couldn't stop craving Jolof rice when I got back. My sister has been wanting to try Fufu too, so we went on a mission to find good West African food. There are a few places in Richmond that offer cuisine from different African countries, but the options were limited on a Sunday so we made the trip to Petersburg. The location wasn't hard to find using GPS. Look out for a yellow red and green building. We initially intended to dine in, but decided to take our food to go instead. Although the kitchen area and register were well lit, the dining area was pretty dark and the restaurant was very quiet. Although there were two other people dining in, it felt sort of awkward. They said the food was really good though, so I took that as a good sign. We took recommendations from one of the employees. He suggested the Beef Egusi and the Peanut Soup with fish. We also added on some chicken patties and Jolof rice too. My favorite things were the patty, the Jolof rice, and the Egusi. That was my first time having Egusi and the flavors were phenomenal. I loved the blends of spices and The Fufu was freshly made too. I wasn't a big fan of the peanut butter soup, but sometimes I have a hard time with savory peanut dishes so I think it was just me. Overall, this place gets a big YES from me. The flavors are authentic, the staff is friendly and the food is worth a drive. I would've given 5 stars if the inside was more welcoming."

"I gave m&k a try for lunch yesterday. It 's my first time trying Jamaican food other than maybe a couple of bites of jerk chicken on random trips to the Caribbean. It was a success! The inside of the restaurant is super cute bright colors, lotsof art. They have speakers playing reggae type music both inside and outside. Little bit of outdoor seating simple tablesand chairs and a bit more seating inside than I expected. The menu is fairly large with a lot of different options. Youplace your order at the counter. Regardless of here/to go, all orders seem to come out in styrofoam boxes. The service waspolite and was working efficiently. They were fairly busy even around 11:45 on a Tuesday. I decided I wanted to try currychicken. Many of the entree/plate combos come with rice and pigeon peas, cabbage, and plantains, which was fine with me! I gotthe medium portion and it still probably could 've stretched two meals if you weren 't crazy hungry. Overall, I really enjoyedmy meal! The chicken was absolutely MELTING off the bone. Super moist and delicious. The curry just had a delightful, complexflavor not spicy at all, in my opinion. Loved that there was a little extra curry to soak into the rice. The rice and peaswere also great, very fluffy and flavorful in its own right! Plantains struck a nice balance of chewy and tender. My onlycomplaint is I thought the cabbage was a little too salty for my preference...that being said, better salty cabbage than blandcabbage. Lol. Definitely looking forward to returning! I can see myself ordering this again or branching out and tryingsomething new."
