Lunch today at Memdee's was my introduction to Liberian fare. Every day, fufu and soup is, happily, on the menu, which features different dishes Monday through Saturday. The soup and the torborgee (braised beef with some bitterness) were delicious -- spicy and nuanced. If you're looking for particular Liberian specialties -- cassava leaf, jollof rice, okra, palm butter soup -- call ahead.

The neighborhood seemed a bit sketchy, but the family whose restaurant this is were helpful and friendly, just as promised in LaBan's review.

It is a bit sketchy, but if I can ride there on the trolley, so can you:

Nearest SEPTA service: Route 36 trolley to 68th Street and Elmwood Avenue. Walk two and a half blocks south on 68th and turn left onto Guyer.
