It directs to an article about this restaurant on D Magazine website. Not sure why the owner has not noticed and corrected that yet. If there is no website then Google should not show it at all. It is just confusing to customers. Second, their restaurant menu is not up to date. Majority of the items under "Les Grillades," "A La Braise," and "Sauces" were not available. We were told by the server that they used to make it in the past but not anymore. If not anymore, again, why the menu is not up to date? Why wasting customer's time? There is a picture of a full grilled chicken with coleslaw on Google. When asked for it, we were told it is a "Pepper Chicken" that is only available during the day time and we also have to order in advance. We didn't see this item on the menu and not sure how customers will know about this item and when to order. Pure carelessness from the owner! For the food, we ordered "Meat Pie," "Benachin," and "Afra/Dibi" chicken. Meat pie was good but little expensive in my opinion. Afra/Dibi chicken was good as well and also came up with a decent portion. What I didn't like about it is that it only came with a bunch of onions and nothing else. No sides at all which I thought was little bizarre specially for the price they are charging. I did not like Benachin! Small portion, expensive, and tasted just okay. It was just a boiled meat with some rice and vegetable curry. Vegetable curry was good but rest of the dish was just okay. I don't recommend this dish. Their customer service was iffy. We were not checked upon in a timely manner. There was a short hair African American lady and her customer service was good. There was another African American lady and she definitely needs training on her customer service and attitude. She would barely come to the table and hardly answer any questions or try to help. Rest of the time I saw her behind the counter spending time on her phone! This restaurant only has bottled water and they charge for it. I may or may not come back to this restaurant in the future.

Selected this spot for birthday weekend. Sunday brunch and music. I was not disappointed with the…read moreatmosphere. The music was spot on and the MC was interactive and entertaining as well. The vibe was nice. You must make a reservation! This is what I enjoyed: Side of Lamb chops: 10/10 tender, meaty, nice smoky and sweet flavor, well seasoned. Side of Mac and cheese: 6/10 a bit dry, needs a bit more seasoning, if both of these things were not an issue it would be perfect. Oxtails and jollof rice: 10/10 oxtails were full of flavor and enjoyable. They could have been a bit more tender. Overall the flavor carried it to a perfect 10. The rice is seasoned and a bit smokey and cooked to the perfect doneness. Table bread: 9/10 puff puff style bread. They were fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Brought out first and provided with every meal. It had a sweet seasoning mix on it. The mix to me was more for after dinner instead of right before the meal. Dusse mimosa: 10/10 nice and stout. I prefer Dusse over Hennessy which is what was on the menu. Jerk chicken: 10/10 flavorful wings. Jerk seasoning was there and not too spicy. Cooked just right and not dry. Collard greens: 6/10 savory flavor. I am a collard greens specialist and I prefer a sweet and hot profile. Although these are just savory they were cooked to the correct tenderness. Candied yams: 10/10 get blend of cinnamon and sweet flavor. Cooked perfectly.

For an appetizer, I started with the oxtail spring roll. I will say it leaned more toward a pot roast flavor because of all the cabbage and carrots inside. It didn't quite taste like oxtail or have much of the Jamaican flavor I was expecting, aside from the little bit of gravy served with it. For our meals, my friend ordered the Poundo Fufu with Egusi Soup and Beef, and I got the Jollof Rice with Stew Beef. The jollof rice was definitely some of the best I've had, really flavorful and the meat was tender and well done. The owner, Will, was very friendly and gave us some great recommendations for other dishes to try next time. If I'm ever back in Dallas, I would definitely stop by again.

My husband and I had been here before and we got the noodles with the omelette to go because they were out of the Jollof rice. I remember that we were fighting over that noodles. Fast forward to today, I was craving some good flavor so I recalled this place and put in an order for peri-peri chicken bowl for my husband and salmon Jollof rice bowl for me with a side of plantain. It took a while for my husband to get used to the smokiness of the Jollof but as soon as we got acclimated to the flavor, oh my goodness... I can finally understand why they ran out of this darn Jollof rice the last time we came. The Jollof rice is the star of the dish! Granted our chicken and salmon was good, but the Jollof rice takes the podium here. The rice is perfectly cooked and my mouth is still having a flavor party. We would definitely be taking family and friends to this spot!

My husband however, ordered the beef jollof rice lunch special. We went during lunch and there was absolutely no one in there. I guess I overlooked that as my sign to eat the food that I had just bought from the grocery store instead. Anyway, the lady at the counter was nice. It took our takeout 20-30 minutes to get to us. When I say I have never been so disappointed to eat African food, is an understatement. My container was filled with tons of fries, but less than the recommended palm size of chicken. The chicken had absolutely no flavor, that I had to dip it in the ketchup just to consume it. My husband let me taste his jollof rice and plantains. The jollof rice was not good either. The best thing was the plantains. I'm glad we avoided getting the bigger portions which would have costed us around $50, because they also have a policy that says they don't give refunds just because you don't like it. I don't think we will be going back, but at least we tried to support a local business.
