Les délices de Awa

We've been meaning to try this place for a while, I'm so glad we stopped in for dinner while my mom was visiting. They have some great vegetarian options and their grilled meat is perfect. The fried yucca with their homemade aoli goes perfect with any meal, the side of salad veggies was very nice, and the fried plantains were the best Ive ever had. Just really homey warm filling food. High quality ingrediantes and a really home-made feel. Highly recommend!

Delicious food and amazing service! We had the beef pastels, poulet braise with jollof rice, grilled lamb with plantain and sorrel juice. Everything was amazing, fresh and flavorful. We’ll be back!

Admittedly on a busy Saturday evening, but waited 50 minutes after ordering (at the front counter) to be served. Served us water, but no one ever asked what we wanted to drink. Then our sides had been mis-matched, so we switched them back ourselves. The chicken was OK but the lamb was two thin tough, bony grizzly pieces and one thicker piece, bloody inside. We had to get to a concert, so ate what we could. Plantain and couscous ok, "mixed vegetables" were chopped and cold in a plastic container. Not the quality we expected for this price level. It was very loud and cramped. And please fix those 2 tables' legs so the tables stop rockin!

Absolutely loved this place!!! A gem of a restaurant that everyone should try. Started with yucca fries and fish beignets, AMAZING. They were so light, crunchy and full of flavor. The goat was fall off the bone tender combined with the beans, jollof rice and tomato cucumber salad made the perfect meal. My friend ordered the lamb which was marinated and sautéed making it more crispy and chewy but still an unbelievable dish. I can’t wait to return with my family.

Great, cozy decor. The food was delicious - we started with akara, the black-eyed pea fritters, which were hot, fresh, and fluffy with a mild taste. I had the Poulet Braise, and a bite of the fabulous and tender lamb. The chicken was bone-in, which is less usual for me but almost definitely more authentic. The spices were subtle but delicious, and the chicken was impeccably grilled: it tasted like the fire, without the meat losing any tenderness or moisture. I had the attieke as my side, because I know I like couscous but wanted to try it made from cassava. Absolutely fantastic, and paired really well with the chicken. We had the ginger juice, which was lovely, and the tea, which was a bit like Yaupon and earthy so something you definitely need to be in the mood for. We also went in on
