The ambiance is very homey and the service matches it! It's genuinely so kind and inviting, and we decided to eat in and got a complimentary drink which was the bon bon juice - an iced hibiscus tea with pineapple and mint and it was perfectly refreshing without being too sweet. It went very well with the food! Unfortunately they were out of a lot of things but we got the lamp chops and hits platter, and the wings were substituted for chicken. Every single meat item was phenomenal- perfectly cooked and tender and really nicely spiced. I really liked the crispy skin on the chicken which is so hard to find elsewhere and the lamb chops with their own special coating. The sauces they gave with it were perfect with a VERY spicy orangy sauce and a more sweeter umami one to balance. The jollof rice was a little more flat and we could have used a little bit more but it's fine because the rest of the food was filling. The prices are on the higher side but i think it's worth every penny as a halal option for western african restaurant on this side of chicagoland. There is a 3% credit card fee but i didn't even get a chance to tip so I don't mind that. Plus this is a small business so it's understandable. read more

Amazing little west African place with delicious food, relaxed atmosphere, and clean, modern leaving esthetic. My sister got the beef kabobs and I got the chicken. Both came with jollof rice and bon bon juice. Flavor wise, beef leans salty, drink leans lightly sweet and idk how to describe it besides the fact that it literally tastes like the color purple. Chicken was absolutely perfect for me. Salt in seasoning balances well with the jollof rice and onions. Best eaten fresh. If you take it to go, your beef might be drier than you want you get home due to travel time, so just keep that in mind! Lunch time looks like there is just the chef in house, and everything came out relatively quickly, considering. This place def deserves more business and a chance to grow, if you are in the area or passing by on 53, consider stopping in for a bite! read more

Highlights: * Amazing experiencing the food of The Ivory Coast (West Africa) * Delicious delicious delicious - flavorful but not spicy/hot * A hidden gem in Lisle Context Takeout a few min before closing time Food: The Best Hits Sampler - Note that I couldn't fit the meat and rice in a single photo. Also because they ran out of pieces of chicken, I subbed in a different another item. Didn't matter because it was super yummy! The lamb was my favorite as it was tender and packed with spices that complemented the lamb taste so well. Really all the meats were great. I know some others have commented on the portions and sure, there could have been more meat. But portion size wasn't the value I was going for. I was here to experience West African food (just off of the 355 exit in Lisle) and the experience made me want to come back. Service: For a takeout order, the service was impressive. The owner chatted with us and (after he packed up our food), so did the cook! It's a family business and it's clear from the passion. Ambiance: So we entered around sundown and the owner was showing some other customers a spot that they could pray and which way faced Mecca. While they later decided to go outside, it showed (a) how much the owner cares for the customers beyond their food and also (b) the authenticity of the community this restaurant represents. The food is from Côte d'Ivoire (aka the Ivory Coast) and there is a sign indicating that the food meets halal standards. I can't say enough good things about Le Bon Bon Grill and I hope this review helps others find this hidden gem! read more

I always love supporting small businesses especially when it comes to food! Been wanting to try Le Bon Bon Grill for a while now as I drive past it daily. I decided to order pickup today for dinner - The restaurant is well lit and has many signs that make it stand out on the street - nice white ambiance. I ordered a Marinated Tender Chicken Wrap Meal along with an order of Alloco and my food was ready in 15 minutes. Food was made to perfection with lots of flavor and it tasted very fresh. Definitely worth checking out! read more

This is my first time trying African cuisine so I was already excited. The owner was very kind and respectful and the restaurant had a nice ambiance. Me and my family ordered the beef kebabs, the sample platter, alloco, and bon bon juice. Everything was delicious and would definitely everything we got to groups of 4 as it has good portions and you'll definitely end up full. read more

This place is pretty close to the post office in Lisle. Parking is ample. It wasn't busy when we came. The owners were very welcoming and pleasant when we walked in. There are about 5 tables. You order your food, then sit down and eat if dining in, and pay afterwards. We ordered the sampler (bon bon juice comes with it) and the plantains. The owner has to prepare the food for you, so please be patient. The food is worth the wait. I wished I had a gallon of that bon bon juice because it is that good. It's made of herbal hibiscus juice with pineapple and fresh mint. I should have asked for a refill before heading out. The sampler consists of 1 beef brochette, 1 chicken brochette, 1 lamb chop, 5 or 6 chicken wings, rice, and salad. The plantains were separated equally on our boards. All of the meat was tender and juicy but my favorite would be the lamb chop. I'll have to get that next time. Portions were very generous. The yellow sauce in the middle is spicy. The other two were mild but the red one had a tangy taste. Prices were fair because you're not going to get another West African restaurant in the general area. read more

Le Bon Bon Grill - Lamb Chops and Jollof Rice - African Near Me - Lisle, Illinois

We were looking for a dinner solution on a random Monday night. Le Bon Bon came up in our search for halal restaurants. It turns out Le Bon Bon has halal grilled chicken and lamb chops, so I ordered a half grilled chicken with rice and lamb chops. These are currently the only halal items. I also ordered alloco (fried plantains). The gentleman saw my son and gave us a cup of bon bon juice and a slice of poundcake on the house, so it turned out to be a good value. The grilled chicken was excellent. There were two sauces included: one spicy, and one sweet. The lamb chops were thick, yet tender; another excellent dish. The rice was more al dente than I would have liked, as was the plantain, but both were decent. The juice was really interesting (some sort of fruity/berry drink with mint), and the poundcake was pretty good. Great meal overall. The parking lot is clean and in good shape, as it's a newer plaza, but small. There are only 4 tables inside, so not great for large groups. It's well-lit. Service was friendly. read more

Excellent!!! It was my first time here and my first time trying this cuisine. The owner was the only one there and let me tell you he was so nice. He gave my daughter a free tea to try which she enjoyed. I ordered lamb chops, plantains, and jollof rice. Took about 20 mins. The food was fresh and tasty, owner knowledgeable(I had questions on the differences between food from his country and other west African counties) and hospitable and the establishment was clean and welcoming. My daughter said it feels so clean in here, she's 8. Needless to say we'll be back read more

BE WARNED : you'll keep going back for more! Decided to try it on a whim and have been back 3 times in less than 2 weeks for the beef kabobs. My family loves it and now I have my coworkers hooked.

AMAZING kabobs. We had the chicken this time, but I wanna go back and try the lamb. The rice was also amazing! Gonna try the plantains next time. ALSO the salad was more like a cole slaw, with a little hint of a spice like nutmeg, or something that added some interest (I normally am not a fan of this type of salad, but liked this one). Owner was super kind, friendly, and helpful. A local gem, glad to have them so close!! read more

Le Bon Bon Grill is truly a hidden gem! I've had the pleasure of ordering from them three times now, and each time, the food has been absolutely delicious. We've tried their chicken brochette, steak brochette, chicken wings, Alloco, fries, salad, rice, and Bon Bon Juice. Everything was fantastic! Our favorite was the chicken brochette--it was incredibly well-seasoned, flavorful, and the chicken was perfectly tender and juicy. The owner is extremely friendly and welcoming. In fact, during my first order, they ran out of wings, but the owner went above and beyond by offering to substitute the wings with other menu items, giving me more value than what I had originally paid for. Although the entrees are priced around $20, which might be a bit higher than some expect, the quality of the food and the excellent service make it more than worth it. If you're looking for a really good, flavorful meal, Le Bon Bon Grill is definitely worth a visit--and supporting a local business is an added bonus. I'll definitely be back for more! read more

Probably the best beef Kabobs I have ever eaten. And the fried rice was delicate and perfectly cooked. This place was quite a surprise.

Disappointed. Wanted to support black local business but unfortunately disappointed & can't quite figure out who the 5 star reviewers are since it was bcuz of the reviews I visited. Chairs are not proportionate to table making it uncomfortable to sit regardless if your tall/short knees hit table or provoke you to have to lean down to eat prompting me to change to making my order to take out (bummer) attempted to pay cash but unfortunately little to no cash in register for change. Okay food verdict ~ ordered the chicken with plantains & salad. Ugh chicken was okay, salad seems wimpy not sure if sat too long drenched in dressing or just old lettuce. Plantains were semi sweet which was the only thing I enjoyed. Disappointed since a) I'm from the Caribbean so know the food. b) have family from Liberia so know African cuisine c) wanted to support black local business Hopefully improvements are made. Oh ya the hot sauce YES is spicy for sure. Be forewarned if spicy ain't ur thing! read more

First time and it was really good experience. Had the beef lunch special with rice and it hit!! The spicy sauce was really good but spicy! Food was fresh and not rushed. The hibiscus juice was fresh as well. Enjoyed it and I'll be back. read more
