    I love this restaurant especially the baobab drink and mafé. A must try for Senegalese food.

So let's get into this cute restaurant called African Kitchen. @africankitchenparis Luckily on my solo trip I got the chance to meet some pretty cool guys @j0shy__ and @fitgabito . And after a long day walking around Montmartre, Josh introduced to this restaurant. I'm not gone lie I was pretty sketch at first because I was not really trying to eat African food But no shade this was the best food I had while I was in Paris. I will let you know the food just as good as the picture looks. everythang SLAPPED! Literally my African roots jumped out after tasting everything on that plate. This was my first time having a whole fried Tilapia. The flavor and seasonings *chefs kiss. And the jollof rice had just as much flavor! Y'all I don't even like plantons and I was smacking on them If you ever find yourself in Paris you have to check out African Kitchen!

A stone's throw from Les Halles, this bustling bistro offers up a variety of West African staples: from the Cameroonian ndole (a saute of meat, greens, and veggies) to Senegalese yassa (meat braised in onion and lemon) to Malian mafe (meat and veggies in a peanut street), you won't go wrong. I stepped in during their happy hour and nabbed a half-priced tapa (aloko d'Ivoirienne: pieces of fried and caramelized banana...tasting like a sweeter version of maduros), a discounted local Gallian lager, and a plate of thieboudienne (a Senegalese dish of fish, tomato, cabbage, and other veggies over rice). The food was fantastic, though service was a bit on the slow side. Definitely recommended if you're in the area

Had such a lovely experience here because of these folks. Tried several beers. We didn't know Guinness was also made in Cameroon. It's fabulous! Stop in! So we returned later that evening for dinner. Delicious!! Try the chicken with Cameroon spices, plantains, and veggies or the braised beef from Mali. Our 9-year-old LOVED it, as did we!

The cuisine is West African with Caribbean influences, and it's located in the 10th arrondissement. The restaurant has a lively, energetic atmosphere. While I wouldn't describe the staff as particularly warm, it's clearly a very busy place. One server seemed to be handling my entire section--he seated me, took my order, and kept things moving. I started with the cod fish fritters, which were delicious, especially paired with the sauce they were served with. For my main course, I ordered the Daurade royale entière marinée (braised whole fish), accompanied by fragrant rice, and added a side of plantains. It was exactly what I was looking for--well-seasoned and satisfying. Food was delivered by bussers who barely paused long enough to be thanked, but again, that seems to come with the territory of such a high-volume restaurant. If you're in Paris and want something beyond traditional French fare, Waly Fay is definitely worth a visit.

After doing an "around me" search, Osè African Cuisine - Saint Lazare came up as a number one contender. Since we were cozy in our hotel room, we decided to have it delivered via a food delivery app. We ordered the following: the Accras 9 (starter); and two identical "build your owns" consisting of the following: Riz Jollof (rice), Mafé, Émincé De Boeuf (beef), and double dose de piment (hot sauce). Forty minutes later our bag of deliciousness was delivered with the brown bag lightly saturated in oil (remember the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air episode when Will said that you can tell good food by the appearance of the bag?). The Accras X9 was a delicious preview of what would be an overall scrumptious dinner. Aside from being very satisfying, the portions were huge! Therefore, we were able to skip the inconvenience of finding breakfast the next day and eat our leftovers instead. If you're looking for African cuisine to satisfy your loins, I highly recommend Osè African Cuisine - Saint Lazare!

Much like a chipotle chain of restaurants in the USA, you choose the type of rice you prefer, followed by a protein, sauce, and an extra carbohydrate. I chose jollof rice, chicken, mafa sauté, and plantains with a side of yellow colored hot sauce. It was great, but the rice got me so full. The spicy dish is something I needed to break up the French food routine. Located near saint lazare train station in Paris.

My partner wanted the Poulet DG (they were out) so he had the mafé. Both were very good, with huge portions (though it's a hard sell for me at 38€ a plate). We also ordered 2 sides of plantain. They were both undercooked, so they prepared an order for us to takeaway. We also tried the 2 rhum based drinks (I really liked the ginger one). Service: It was okay. Initially, someone came every 2 minutes to ask to take our order, which was too fast for me and felt a little commercial. Once our food came, no one came to check on us again. Ambiance: Overall, I love that this type of restaurant exists in an accessible part of Paris! It's more upscale than most you'll find in the city and is large and lively. Live music was a bonus and loved seeing couples, families, and people of all backgrounds. I wish they had put the AC on! It's clear this place is made by Africans for a wider audience; if not for the price, I'd go back again soon.
