What a discovery. This was my first time eating at Kanodou and you can be sure it won't be the…read morelast. I love African food & their restaurants but sometimes you crave a restaurant experience while there's a lack there of. Not a Kanodou! You enter a nice interior with dimmed lights that put you at ease & convey intimacy. The restaurant owner Mustafa was the perfect host: he answered every question with a kindness and a smile. He recommended terrific meals to us. The service overall deserves a 10/10, the best I've gotten in an African restaurant thus far. Now comes what you're most interested in: the food & the drinks! I'm not exaggerating when I say heavenly! The juice mocktail was one of the best I've tasted thus far and don't let me start on the Lamb mafe: first time and it was my best choice. The lamb melted in my mouth, this together with a well balanced peanut sauce. Yes! African food in a cozy,quality, intimate & rich setting: the perfect combination!

This very clean and newly updated place advertises the exotic nature of it's menu. It's one of the…read moreonly restaurants I've ever seen (in any country) that presents a variety of dishes typical of different African countries. At least some of the people running it are from Senegal, and the whole fish I ordered was at least as good as my local Senegalese restaurant in the U.S. The vegetable potage I ordered was excellent and not too greasy. Kanadou also had a decent selection of drinks.

Ever had sweet potato waffle?! Me neither. Brilliant, right? I mean it's right there in our faces…read morebut we don't compute that maybe you can try to make waffles out of sweet potatoes! But at "Le Kalu" they did. And I have to thank the Afro-Caribbean's for that! I'm grateful for this find because it's rare to find a place where you sense that blood, sweats, tears and love! have been poured into it. I felt like I was inside the food truck, getting served by newly graduated cooks who were looking at me with eager eyes hoping I would love what they made for me. And it's a good feeling. It's a feeling that conveys, "you and your food are safe here". Now, I do feel like the presentation of the food took the food truck metaphor a bit too far. I prefer a bit more whimsical sight of my food, but that didn't make it any less delicious! Spicy, hot, fuego chicken wings: perfect during this fight against "The Disease No One Wants To Hear About Every Again". Not like I'm used to, but still good. And it's always a good idea to try out "not like I'm used to"-places!

We waited over an hour for the food to arrive and the only person who warned us was a friendly lady at the table next to us - they had arrived at rush hour and waited over one hour and a half... So, don't arrive starving, and prepare for a nice long conversation:-)

Delicious food and extraordinary customer service. We were visiting Rotterdam from the USA and…read moredecided to have lunch at this place. We had egusi with pounded yam, grilled goat meat , attieke with fish, lamb in stew, and fried plantains. Everything tasted great! The owners were super nice. I can't wait to go back and have this experience again.

The Ragout de Chèvre au Vin (goat stew) was fantastic, with a huge portion of tender goat meat like…read moreI've never seen before. I could hardly finish it. I ordered fried green plantain as the side, and requested an additional side of chikwangue. The latter is a thick fufu-/ugali-like dish made of manioc/cassava and cooked as a cylindrical roll wrapped in a banana leaf. This is a great place to enjoy the food of Cameroon. The restaurant was empty so as a non-French-speaking visitor the sole employee I saw had patience to communicate with me. The only drawback was they were out of many of the beers on their menu; but they serve Top soda from Cameroon.

Great food, excellent service. We discovered this place by chance but had a very nice lunch here…read more Cozy, warm place with very friendly service. We couldn't read the menu in French but our waiter patiently explained everything and answered all our questions. We ordered the goat curry and grilled mackerel and a few of the traditional side dishes. The goat was the best, but everything else was tasty too.
