Excellent food! The jibaritos, tostones, Puerto Rican rice, and habichuelas are the best. I…read morerecommend the pork jibarito. The Cuban style jibarito is no longer on the menu, but they still make it for me by request and it is my favorite sandwich of all time. Plain pork jibarito (no lettuce, tomato, or ketchup/mayo sauce) with ham and Swiss cheese, then add mustard, pickle, and American cheese. If you like a Cuban sandwich, you must try it. The place is connected to a gas station but don't let that stop you from trying. Everything is made to order, so don't expect fast food, but I always get friendly service.

The ambiance is very homey and the service matches it! It's genuinely so kind and inviting, and we…read moredecided 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.

Amazing little west African place with delicious food, relaxed atmosphere, and clean, modern…read moreleaving 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!

Service was friendly and came over to check on us often and even let us sample a drink. We ordered Alaskan Tropical Roll with the plantain option(also optional to have them tempura fried!!) Arepa with beef, adding cheese and avocado, a side of Tostones, and a Guava agua fresca. The arepa was warm, flavorful, and STUFFED with beef! adding the sauces they provide on the table takes it over the top! The Sushi was huge and i loved the tropical fusion with the plantains on top. Perfect flavor combo! The tostones were as expected (def homemade, always a plus!) and the Guava drink tasted authentic to the fruit itself. 10/10 I will definitely visit again!

Young man who was working there was busy on his phone and never looked up or greeted me when I entered. I asked him if there were any more plantains in the back and he said "No" and went right back to his phone. This is not the first time that we have experienced poor customer service in the store, although there have been several times when the service was great. One more time with an employee with a poor attitude and we will use other nearby African foodstores.

Inside, the building is very beautiful but very similar to all the other Coopers Hawk location. For lunch, we had the Tuna Sashimi, and I got the Trio Medallions which came with Mashed Potatoes and I got Bettys Potatoes instead of Asparagus. My meal was very delicious. Our server was amazing. She was friendly and attentive. She was amazing! The only slight negative during this visit was the wait. We showed up at 12 and there didn't seem to be anyone in the restaurant besides me and like 3 other people (maybe I was wrong), but it took a long time for my food to arrive... over an hour. If it was busy or maybe they were... but 1.5+ hours was a little long. I wish I could only dock 1/2 a star though because the service and food was amazing and I would be back for those two alone. Overall, I would be back in the future.
