First time trying out West African cuisine and it has become one of my favorites already. My husband and I had a great time dining in, very friendly staff, love the energy. The food is so good, flavorful and cooked perfectly with generous portions. I had the pampano fish topped with their special onion sauce, jolof rice and side of sweet plantains. Definitely one of the best meals I ever had. Thank you and looking forward to coming back again! :)

Stopped by after a concert at Prudential Center, we’ve never tried West African food before but this was an insane introduction. We split the poulet rôti with jallof rice and fried sweet plantains and it was genuinely the best food that my girlfriend and I had had in a while. The staff were all super accommodating and welcoming, and we can’t wait for our next visit here Edit: We came back and if I could give this place 10 stars I really would! The lady who helped us the first time we came recognized us and treated us like family, she is so warm, welcoming, and really makes sure that everyone feels at home. Today, we had the pompano, chicken skewers, and dibi and everything was outstanding. I had the pompano and the bones were left completely clean. My only wish is that this restaurant was

A Hidden African Gem Worth Discovering I recently visited this incredible African restaurant, and I’m still thinking about the experience! The food was absolutely delicious—each dish bursting with authentic flavors that truly satisfied my taste buds. What stood out even more was the cleanliness of the restaurant; it was spotless from top to bottom, including the bathroom, which was impeccably maintained. The staff was another highlight—they were so warm, welcoming, and genuinely friendly. Their excellent service added a personal touch that made the visit even more enjoyable. If I have one wish, it’s that this place was in a better location to attract the traffic it rightfully deserves. It’s a hidden gem that more people need to know about! I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending

This is my husband and I's first Mali food. I was happy seeing the menu because I love fish so I got the red snapper and my husband got the chicken. It was mind blowing for us how it sounded so simple yet it was insanely delicious. Had fufu with the sweet potato leaf too. We are definitely coming back. The staff were as good. Very kind
