I've tried just about everything on their menu, and it sparked such a love for Senegalese food that I ended up taking a trip to Senegal last year...yes, it's that good. The family who runs this place is incredibly sweet, welcoming, and somehow never forgets a face. I bring friends and family any chance I get...partly to share, partly because I need everyone to understand the hype! And I can absolutely confirm Senegal indeed makes THEE best Jollof (I mean they did create it!)

Bintou was absolutely amazing! From the moment we sat down, she was so warm, welcoming, and…read moregenuinely friendly. She made us feel right at home and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. The food was just as incredible!!! We ordered their chicken and lamb dibi combo, fish fataya and their jollof! Everything came out perfectly and tasted amazing. You can really tell there's care put into both the service and the kitchen. If you're dining here, definitely ask for Bintou. She made our experience unforgettable. We'll definitely be back more often!

Warning: this place is not for everyone. Don't go here on a date, don't go with kids, don't go if…read moreyou are on a rush and don't go if you feel entitled. This is a very humble establishment that runs on African time but serves really authentic cuisine. Go here solely for the food. Better if you can do a take out order. I had grilled lamb with spinach, jollof rice and sweet plantains. Just amazing. I also did a take out order of Ndolle (goat with some bitter leaf gravy). Loved it. There are too many issues with the restaurant. Outdated ambience, super super slow service, difficulty communicating with the staff which resulted in some extra side dishes I ended up paying for, their website doesn't work, the prices they charged were a bit more than what was on the menu (basically outdated menus) and the list simply goes on. Inspite of all these issues, I would still go there because none of those issues seemed intentional. I didn't see foul play. The manager/owner Patrick and the server/cashier Agbenfa both seemed naive and humble. They tried to make sure I enjoyed the food. I also feel I may have gotten lucky because the food that was served to me was hot. (Not cold or room temp like some of the others mentioned) I went on a Friday night. I would have to try a few more times before judging if the food is consistent. But the two entrees and the three sides I tried were all phenomenal. It also helps if you know what you are getting but I like to try new things especially when I am going to authentic places and I don't mind taking small risks. Oh the portions were huge. When it took 30 mins for the lady to come take my order, I was all set to leave the place and was prepared for a 1star experience as I started reading the reviews. But I'm glad my patience served me well. I wasn't in a rush. It was a lazy Friday evening. Lazy enough to stick around long enough to try their food.

The drinks were worth the money even though they did not have much of what we wanted (they seemed to be out of everything). There is bar seating as well as a few tables next to the bar. The back area is more spacious with high tables and booths and a bunch of TVs. This is a cute spot of date night. The bar tender was also our server and I think she may have also been the chef. We dined on a random Wednesday night after Happy Hour but the prices were still really reasonable.

While our server/bartender was nice, I really wish they hadn't been so understaffed. We were a group of 15 and it took so long to get all of our orders taken and drinks made because she was the only one doing everything. Aside from that, the food was very good. I highly recommend the jerk chicken. Due to the slow service I wouldn't go out of my way to come back, but I would stop by for a quick drink and the jerk chicken wings if I happened to be in the area

The person running the shop thought that I had been in before. This was not the case, mainly…read morebecause the hours here are quite limited. It has been on my list for a while. I wish I'd been in sooner. The menu left me with the impression that it would be a little bit more of a fast, casual vibe, but the atmosphere is more personalized in the food is higher and quality and better in presentation than you would get from most of those random build a bowl places. The bowl is constructed by default for a balanced meal with a grain, some greens, vegetables, and a couple of delicious plantains. It is vegan by default and I was happy to keep it that way, selecting options for a bit of protein in the mix. My Black Eyed Peas and rice, kale, and a stew based on ground melon seeds were robust in flavor. I added a hot sauce, which was strong in both bite and flavor. Getting water resulted in me, getting charged for a bottled water, which is the main thing I have against them. I would be happy to come back.
