Get the Red Snapper Poisson with athieke. It is cooked to the perfect level of crisp while keeping the fish tasty and not overdone. Also make sure to sprinkle some of the included seasoning on every bite of athieke for a little extra spice. Topped off with the bubbly Senegal Cocktail. Everything was delicious, chill atmosphere, and the staff was very friendly. I'll definitely be back for more.

Parking during lunch was very convenient. The interior plus good music made for the right vibe. Our waitress was very attentive considering the full tables and a busy takeout line. The food was well-priced and bursting with flavor. The contrast between the flavors of the barbecued meat and the sauce they are tossed in is nice. The drinks were also great. The menu is highly varied so we hope to visit again and try some of the other items.

We absolutely enjoyed every moment in here. It was good to be in the midst of our fellow Africans. The restaurant was clean, organized and well maintained. The food they served us were very tasty and the drink was typical African folere. The customer service was exceptional. It was a good experience and I strongly recommend to all.

The food was delicious. We had the Lamb and Tilapia with Jollof, the onions on top add so much flavor. The Maafe with Chicken was also very good. We order plantains as well that were freshly fried and sweet. The Ginger and mange drink was taste amazing. They also had live music which added to the atmosphere. 10/10 experience

The vibrant colors and decor make you feel welcomed and happy., the customer service is excellent and the wait staff were very friendly. The FOOD.... I can't say enough how good the food was; it's African food (Senegalese ) everything was so flavorful and cooked right. I've had Liberian, and Nigerian food but this was amazing. The red snapper was delicious and grilled to perfection; I really didn't care for the athieke. It was over cooked and mushy, the plantains were amazing! It was paired with sweet carrots and onions in a tomato based sauce. My friend loved all of her food, she had the chicken and jollof rice which she stated that everything was full of flavor and delicious. My only complaint is that they did not have d
