    Great food! I always go for the chicken yassa, nem, and thieboudienne. This time I got the michoui and couscous. Absolutely amazing. This will always be my go to spot when looking for Senegalese cuisine

    Jollof rice
    Brittany H.

    I'm not completely sure about the ambiance of this restaurant because I ordered via Uber Eats. Let me start by saying that I'm West African so I'm very familiar with the food served by this restaurant. I was drawn to this restaurant based on its uber eats reviews but also some of the recent reviews I read via yelp - additionally I appreciated the fact that I could order just soup and everything was decently priced. So, I ordered Cassava Leaf, Okra Soup, Jollof Rice, Plantains and Fufu. My order arrived without any of the soups - some mixup with the restaurant. I called and they confirmed they gave the driver my entire order and that I needed to take it up with Uber. For the food I did taste which was the Jollof and plantains I was super underwhelmed - the rice was tasteless and the plantains dry (1 order is 5 pieces). We decided to give them another try and it was just disappointing - the cassava had an overwhelming amount of peanut butter. So much so that you could not taste the cassava or any spice. The okra was better but still lacked spice/heat. Although its proximity to my house is convenient, I will not be trying again.

    My food was great the customer service was amazing as well. I came in to get food to go. It was very comfortable inside, so I sat down to eat a little and ended up finishing my food.

    Owner was so nice, she assisted me with the menu , the ambiance was home like. It had great parking, the food was superb. I loved the rich creaminess of the soups. The Sorrel is a must try and the pepper sauce had a great kick with lots of flavor. I cant wait to return to try the jollof and fish

    Plazass
    Chase E.

    First time trying Senegalese food, I loved it. I got (plazass) chicken & spinach cooked in a rich African palm oil, with raw ground peanut, onions & seasonings with premium white jasmine rice or fufu

    I truly love this place. Don't know what else to say except just try it. I always get the same stuff, lamb dibi for me, chicken for my wife side of jollof rice.

I really wanted to try the jolloff rice, but they were out... maybe next time. Anyway, it's a small spot, but welcoming. The food is cooked fresh! It was late, but I wanted to eat right then and there, so we dined in. The tilapia was like nothing I'd ever eaten, seasoned to perfection and it was fried, but also tasted grilled! What?!? It was so delightfully confusing!!! So meaty and fresh, not one piece of meat was going to waste, not even by the head! The Attiéké by itself, kinda bitter, but I mixed with the onion sauce and omg, Wow! That onion sauce is like none other, you have to try it to understand! It's unbelievably good-- a sauce of onions with onion chunks! I'm so glad I tried it! The gentleman that cooked it-- that man knows his way around a kitchen! I believe his name is Moda (sp?) and he's kind too! I'd definitely visit again!

It was my first time having shito. The Jollof wasn't my favorite, unfortunately, but it finally settled the debate for me once and for all - I'm team Nigerian when it comes to Jollof. Although the Efo Riro was nicely flavored, the mix of collard greens did not compliment this dish as I thought it would. I prefer it with spinach and from my Nigerian food connect (Mina's Jollof in LA). Hers can't be beaten! Black Eye Peas were unique, and the plantains were cooked nicely. Now for the ambiance: We were one of two tables during the day, so having the place for ourselves felt nice. It also looked tidy. Our waitress was a sweetheart. I forgot her name, but she was attentive. Would I return? Perhaps when revisiting ATL. Overall: The experience was enjoyable!

The pounded yam was smooth and not too thick. I had fun scooping up the Egusi in the Fufu with my hands. Both together was an enjoyable flavor and texture combo. The Beef Suya was good as well, a nice meat appetizer. The beef was cooked well done which some people may not like, but I enjoyed it since I grew up eating my steak that way. It paired very well with the spice blend and raw onions. I also had the Ghanaian Jollof Rice and that was not my most favorite dish due to the flavor. Not my cup of tea, but the rice was cooked well.

Setting / Service: We had came in about 10-15 minutes after they had just opened, so it felt like we were the first customers by the way the wait staff was missing. The host had told us sit at any table and we would have a staff member come swing by. We waited about 5-10 minutes before our waitress had came by and asked us if we were ready to order. Mind you - we were not given a food menu or told about the QR code that looked like it was barely hanging on the table beforehand. Food order took a little longer than expected. Table that was sat after us got their full lunch order before our soup came out. Felt little weird about that. The occasional check-ins from the waitress was welcomed. Food: Hunter's Platter was a overcooked or charred. The beef was well done at minimum. Some of the other meat pieces that contained bone were so overcooked that it was tougher than jerky and the bones themselves began to break off into sharp ends / mistaken as meat due to how brittle they became. For it to be priced at 'Market Value' and not have a actual charge was a bit odd to me. It came out to be near $60 for those wondering. Sweet potato soup with plantain fufu was good. We had ordered the mixed meat version, but it only contain one piece of each meat. It was borderline room temp by the time it got to our table. We had also ordered a few other items that were pretty enjoyable. Pleasant additions to a couple first timers who wanted to taste the menu. Overall: I'd say that the experience here was pretty okay to the point we had gotten the meal tab. It was a bit peculiar that our waitress had dropped off the credit card machine to the table for us after handing her my card. It was then I noticed on the machine "Additional Tip". Puzzled, I looked back at the check and noticed she had applied auto-gratuity. Yes, I would have given a tip. I would have given more than the auto applied tip, but it was context that made the entire situation foul. She applied auto tip, dropped the machine off, and just 'disappeared' until we left the table at which she muttered words as she walked past us while looking down to the floor.

The portions are generous and that is why it pains me so much that the service is just so flawed. Today I called in a meal for a homeless gentleman who lives outside my building, to pick up for him on my way home. When I arrived 45 minutes later, I learnef that the call was answered by an employee who wasn't physically at the restaurant... and she never called it in. Then after another 30 minute wait, I am told that part of my order is now sold out and unavailable. When my mom asked for a replacement of fries, and if they could be complimentary (considering we'd been waiting over an hour due to their mistake) the response from Omar at the counter was snarky, condescending and mocking to her.

The best part of the meal was probably the seasonings they have sitting on the side of the counter where you order. I do not really know who works there. First there was a lady, then there was this kid, but the kid was sitting in the lounge when I first walked in and stood there for about 5 minutes at the bar before the lady in the back who was having a conversation with the lady who makes the food I guess came from behind and walked around to the register. Their menu has absolutely no pricing. I had the peanut butter soup, which was good, but a little disappointing because the majority of the meat was nothing but fat, and there was not that much meat in it honestly. The potato that was in it literally looked like that had just cut it in two and threw it in the soup. It was good, and not that bad portion wise, but if I had known it was almost $20 I probably would have gotten something else. I was hoping to try the hookah while I waited, but evidently all of the hookahs were in need of maintenance, so that was a bust. Would like to go back in the future, maybe when they have a crowd of people or something, but overall I was disappointed.
