    Baobab, tamarind and baobab powder
    C V.

    Amazing Senegalese restaurant! Mike even smokes his own fish, used in the sakha sakha spinach/cassava leaves lamb seafood dish I ordered with additional plantains. The best part for me is packets of hot spice on the side. (Considerate because of my allergy, but this is standard practice for them.) Very generous portions feed two. They also make a variety of fresh juices like hibiscus, ginger, tamarind and baobab. He actually opened a package and let me try the powdered fruit. Additionally, answered many questions I had about ingredients. Mike's son graciously gifted me a bag of powdered baobab, it was very sweet. While dining inside (unusual considering coronavirus scare!) the owner played music and introduced me to a number of new artists. (Wally Seck and Youssou N'Dour.) Please check them out. Lots of positive reviews on Google, and definitely worth a stop if in Memphis.

    The Food was so delicious! The chicken was grilled to perfection and the season was so good! The…read morerice was delicious and cooked just right. Their homemade juices were made just right! Had me feeling like a new man! I will definitely be back

    I give three stars because the egusi is very different than what I'm use to with the Nigerian egusi…read moremade with palm oil and different types of meat. The presentation of the fufu was lacking. I cut them some slack because they made it quickly and poured it into the plate before it had time to thicken. They also use something other than the white fufu I'm use to. The wait was very long. (Althouth they were very courteous and kept apologizing). The egusi has a very VERY different flavor than Nigerian Egusi. It gas a smokey bitter flavor. They also mix in different types of greens and other things. Although it was still good. I had to pick a lot of the meat out because as I mentioned in the photos I uploaded I couldnt tell what I was eating and the meat had a weird texture and the parts they used were strange. I swear I got part of the anus or genitalia. Just review my pictures. I also give three stars because none of the workers had masks. This place is literally a Covid-19 Hotspot. They had their children and teens in there lounging around the place (its family owned I believe) and they were coughing with the dry coughs (with no one covering their mouths) and the dry coughs are a hallmark of having covid. I was double masked and the place was warm on the inside as they had no fans or a/c and they had the door closed. I couldnt understand why no one had on a mask. So weird. Especially given the amount of coughing going on. I was so thirsty at the restaurant but they didnt have a drink machine or sodas or even bottled water. They had nothing but large jugs of what appeared to be a powdered drink in gallon jugs (the powder had settled to the bottom of the jugs and it was a lot). They had good customer service. Although it wasn't the customer service we are use to in the U.S. The young woman tending the counter was cordial and friendly. But when I called the restaurant before I came she answered the phone with a sleepy "Hello". I thought I had reached someone's home at first. I didnt know what to expect. I sort of thought someone may have been cooking out of their home because the rest of the conversation was very relaxed and nonchalant and she was like "yeah, we have this or that" and did not elaborate. It's just not what I'm use to dealing with American businesses and American style customer service. Overall, I will never order fufu or egusi from here again. I may return to check out their fish dishes. The Senegalese are exceptionally good at preparing those and I saw some of the meals they made with fish and they were very appealing. My suggestion to them would be to perk up when customers call and sound like more of a business. Season the meat in the egusi more and stop using parts of the animal that most would throw away. Also, run some fans on the inside or the a/c. Or open the door and leave it open. It was stifingly hot on the inside. There was no air whatsoever. Also, please mandate masks. People were coughing, there was no ventilation, it was hot, the air was still and that's not good. Last, offer guests a drink. Even a drink of water. I was so thirsty while there and there were no single serve drinks to even purchase. All that was available were gallon jugs of a powdered drink. In closing I ended up throwing out the Egusi and FuFu after a few bites. The fufu never turned solid. It stayed very mushy and sticky. It clung to my fingers like gum. The meat in the Egusi, as mentioned above, was not seasoned at all. The Nigerians season their meat and slow cook it in additional seasonings so the seasonings are well infused in the meat. These people seasoned the greens and I believe they simply put in unseasoned meat. The seasoning did not stick to the meat. The meat was flavorless. Also strange textured. At times I didn't know what I was eating. On my way home from the African Restaurant I had a serious case of anxiety because of how many ppl were coughing in there who were not wearing masks and how poorly ventilated the place was. Here it is a day later and I'm still having anxiety attacks over sitting there. I should have walked out.
