I ordered the: Fataya Beef 5/5 Tiebou Dine White, Wékh (fish & broken rice) 3.5/5 Dibi (jollof & lamb) 3.5/5 Cassava Leaf 3.5/5 Juices hibiscus and ginger 5/5 Overall I'll keep trying other African spots. This won't be my top pick. The price was like $24.99 for each entree and I feel like you can get other nicer restaurants in the area for better pricing and quality. Coming from one West African to another. The food doesn't have any spice a mild flavor. They give you pepper sauce on the side. The ambiance is very casual!

We started with Bissap...hibiscus flower drink. Its served sweet both in Senegal and here at the restaurant. Definitely worth a try for juice lovers!

Enough food for two people and incredibly flavorful. Five full stars for super nice people serving delicious and authentic cuisine. You won't be sorry!

Every time I go to Baltimore, I make sure I stop there- A MUST. I keep my stomach empty on purpose. BTW... I forget to put the photos up because I can't stop eating the food long enough to put one up!:( It's my goal to have dinner there one day at the actual restaurant.

The lamb wasn't super super tender or amazing, but that protein blends into the tastes of the sauce. The rice was non-memorable. Just plain white rice.

A favorite is the Peanut Butter Chu and Chicken Afra. And for my dinner crew, there werent any major complaints. Flavor was there and quality. The one thing was around the desserts. Because we ordered via third-party app, I think the cake was subbed for whatever was available and not specifically we ordered. But not a major miss. Overall, delicious food and good portions.

After a long day of getting my locs retwisted nearby, I decided to stop here for dinner on my way…read morehome. I didn't realize where the restaurant was located beforehand, so I was a little surprised when I arrived. It's in a very urban area, which may or may not matter depending on your comfort level. There was a decent amount of seating inside if you choose to dine in. The restaurant was okay in terms of cleanliness, but personally, I'd opt for takeout. I originally planned to eat inside but changed my mind once I got there. Unfortunately, the customer service wasn't the best. I wasn't greeted when I walked in, and when I received my order, the takeout container wasn't fully closed and was placed halfway into the bag. I'm not sure if it was just an oversight, but it didn't leave the best first impression. Now, the food, that's where they won me over. Everything was well-seasoned, and the suya had just the right amount of spice. They were out of the vegetable I originally wanted, but I'm actually glad I tried the corn because it was absolutely delicious. And that suya butter sauce? It was the star of the meal! Overall, while the location and customer service weren't my favorite, the food was flavorful enough that I'd come back if I were in the area and craving suya.
