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!

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.

The space is a little crammed given the number of customers. Recommend getting here early to grab a table or bar seat.
