Delicious food in a large and fun space! They have both indoor and outdoor seating areas. They offer flavorful dishes at a reasonable price. The drink menu also looked really good. the staff were nice and friendly and helped us navigate the menu. The only improvement would be to increase the amount of fish, it was a very small piece of protein for that dish.

Flavors are amazing and I absolutely love this place. Plentiful vegetarian options because you can include akara as your protein with several dishes. Very veggie friendly, amazing flavors, and I wish I could eat here daily.

I was super pleasantly surprised here! I came without expecting much and the food was so good. Good: - The seafood with tilapia was amazing - I didn't think I'd like it as much as I did considering I'm not usually a fan of seafood, but the curry sauce + the jolof rice made a combo that I couldn't stop munching on! - Portion sizes were perfect for what I could finish in one sitting - The staff were nice! Bad: - Pretty noisy place, still good for catchups with people - Took some time for the food to arrive Overall I enjoyed the food here a lot, the ambiance not so much but I'd come back just to try out something else!

Amazing place! Had never tried senegalese food before, so I can't judge authenticity, but the food was really tasty! I got the Mafe (a peanut based stew) with akara (a vegetarian bean fritter) and fufu, it was rich and flavorful. Also tried a bit of my friend's Yassa (a caramelized onion stew) that was absolutely delicious as well. Would highly recommend!

Very underwhelmed by the overall experience. Shrimp wee decent with the curry sauce but it came with white pita which wasn’t even toasted. The main dish I had the Dibi combo with chicken. The chicken was dry but the sauce it came with on the side was good. Also got the side of yassa which was tasteless. Also it had yucca in it which I hate :) overall if you want to go for dinner make sure you’re ready for it to be REALLY LOUD. Some people planted themselves next to me at the bar and started talking at the top of their lungs. I guess it’s more of a club than a restaurant.

Underwhelming, at least for the vegan option. I ordered the Riz Au Cari dish with the Akara and fufu. Unfortunately, the red curry was too salty, fufu was bland and the Akara had an odd aftertaste. It was also quite disappointing to see the small portion size. In addition, the waitress was kind but unfortunately they charged us for an extra drink. We didn’t catch it until we got home. I found this place to be overrated and will not come here again.

Ordered dibi lamb, jollof rice, onion sauce, plantains and vegetable salad. I also got ginger juice which was alright. There was also some Brazilian performers for the reopening of the restaurant so the atmosphere was lively!

Excellent African cuisine; red curry with tofu and jolloff rice is a mainstay on their menu and worth a try. Their drinks menu is straight from heaven. Try their pitchers and their coconut rum; simply amazing and addictive. Very good music and fun vibe in their dance floor. Slow service but no biggie.
