    The food is well cooked and unique. The staff is friendly enough to make it feel like home. The building looks like a historical landmark inside celebrating our roots. Whether you're vegan or not, they will have something you like and they're right off the highway.

    The vegan burrito bowl was amazing. The service was with a smile as usual. The atmosphere is always very calming and welcoming! I will defiantly be back

    Sankofa Kitchen & Bar at 4141 W Wheatland Rd, Dallas, TX 75237 Today I was blessed with the amazing Ms Fields who gave me a good understanding and history of this wonderful establishment. Family owned and operated for many years. They bring culture, consciousness and cuisine to this neighborhood and city. So many pictures here I wish I had in my own house. The vibe is definitely a place where you and your friends can come relax and enjoy a good meal. The music is always playing with a lot of culture, arts, crafts, t-shirts, oils and soaps to be purchased. I asked what are the most popular menu items and got them. We have a juicy turkey burger with fries, vegan nachos and a chicken burrito. To be honest this food is meant to be eaten on site when it is the most fresh. I got it all as a take-home and did not eat it until later in the day. Except I did chop down on that chicken burrito before I even left the parking lot it was delicious. This is the type of place that you need to come to and see if you fit the vibe. Please remember parking on the property is for this establishment only.

    Sankofa is a must if you are in the DFW area! Fresh, real, seasoned ingredients that are made by a wonderful loving family- can never go wrong with that! They offer A rather straightforward menu either you want vegan or meat style. The meats they offer are chicken. Seafood, turkey and recently added beef. The menu is literally divided in half for vegans and meat eaters. Example: they will have a turkey spaghetti and a vegan spaghetti or a fish Poboy and a vegan fish Poboy. And when you order the fish it is not just frozen vegan fish they actually marinate eggplant I believe in order to achieve the fish fillet affect. They definitely knocked all of their vegan recipes out of the park! If you are vegan I recommend you try but even meat eaters need to try Sankofa kitchen!! Hibiscus tea is a must!!! We buy the biggest container they have every time. When you walk in you are always greeted with a very warm hello and you immediately settle in to a calm Zen. The interior and art gives you vibes of a jazz lounge but centered around the kitchen. While you wait you can also shop their handmade soaps , black educational books, and even some art.

    Samosa is a gem offering clean vegan cuisine for the entire family. We ordered loaded vegan and turkey nachos. We also ordered a kids grilled cheese and fries. The family who is servicing was so kind and the kitchen staff delivered food piping hot extremely quick. We loved the e food and will definitely be back to visit again. When you try it- definitely get the nachos(2 people can dine on it together)

    Absolutely amazing! The food, the staff, the atmosphere. I was looking for a restaurant that served both plant based food (vegan type) for my husband and regular meat based food for myself and this was a home run! We were enjoying our food so much that my husband who likes to take pictures of food nearly forgot to take any. Hubbies vegan mushroom Swiss chicken sandwich was a hit and his purple rain smoothie was amazing. There was a slight miscommunication and instead of beef I got a turkey burger patty with my bbq bacon burger but I decided to just try it first before saying anything and I am glad the mistake was made because I thoroughly enjoyed it!!! I've never liked a turkey burger before and I've tried a few. I liked it so much that if I'm able to make it here again (I live 5+ hr away) I will be torn between having the turkey burger or the beef! They also make a delicious hibiscus tea! So if you eat meat this place is for you, if you don't eat meat this place is for you. If you want a smoothie or hibiscus tea or a cocktail or beer (among other things!!) this place is for you. If you want a relaxed vibe this place is for you..... basically- go give it a try!!

An hour passes no food we chalk it to it being busy okay whatever. They give us our food and it's wrong . They gave us queso fries and the carne asada potato. Oh did I mention they are out of lemonade as well. At this point we are annoyed because they have pumped out at least 30 to-go orders and we still don't have our food correctly.And the family that came in and ordered similarly after us have their food already given to them. They take the fries away and give us the one correct potato then tell us we would have to wait ANOTHER hour to get the potato we ordered and paid for. We ended up just asking for a refund they give us the potato and our drink replacement which is the only reason why I am giving two stars. Very disappointing experience if you know wait time is so long at least say hey it'll be a hour.We stay 5 minutes away and could've at least waited at home Instead of sitting in the lobby for over an hour. I will give them props the potato I did get was delicious and very large. But If you want your food in a timely manner this may not be a place for you.

    Cesars Snack Shack is a late-night gem, open until 4 AM with a menu full of variety from breakfast…read moreburritos and tacos to chicken & waffles, burgers, nachos, Philly cheesesteaks, and unique snacks like fried Oreos and fried bacon (yes, fried bacon). I tried the Doritos Nachos with ground beef (minus the beans) and after the first bite I said, "Okay... I'll be back." The queso, cheese, cilantro, onions, and sour cream drizzle came together perfectly. I also tried the Philly Cheesesteak Burrito with ribeye, melted cheese, grilled onions and peppers, mayo, all toasted in a large flour tortilla. It was so filling and flavorful, I may not order a traditional Philly again. Only downside: some items are a little pricey, but overall #FlavorchaserApproved. Definitely adding this spot to my local rotation!

    The food is always great. We go there maybe once a month…read more The online ordering thing has a weird glitch that is awkward compared to any other company we have ordered from. When I called to tell them that they left the cookies out of the order, they put the manager on the phone and she suggested we come back to the store to pick up two cookies. It was raining and I really didn't want to get out again so I just wanted a credit on my card. The manager said they had no way to do that but they would put my name on a list and we could just ask for two cookies the next time we came in. They have no way of putting a credit on a card, or do they just not know how to do so?

    HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!!…read more Today I placed an on line order for curbside pickup. I arrived 10 minutes early. I received a text that my order was ready and someone would be out shortly with my food. I then received another text that my order did not go through. The manager (Kendrick) comes to my car and apologizes. He then says he could put through my order and asks for my credit card and says he cannot give it to me for free. I NEVER ASKED FOR ANYTHING FREE! He says he has my order details and says it should be about 5-7 minutes. He comes out again and one of my items is unavailable. I said forget the whole thing and got my card back. This jerk manager wouldn't even give me my "free" birthday cookie. I guarantee you if I were white this white manager would have offered some kind of compensation. I WILL NEVER GO BACK!!!

    I drove all the way from North Dallas to try the chicken and sausage garlic parm spicy bowl that…read moreMary was offering. Ya'll, these spicy bowls have taken the community by a chokehold, so I was stoked to finally try it. I drove up and not going to lie, I was nervous. Not the best looking area, even at 12PM on a Friday. I parked and entered the hole in the wall. The employee greeted me with a smile. I asked about the spicy bowl and unfortunately since it was a special only, they were not selling them that day. The following week, I noticed she was offering the spicy bowl on her website, so I placed the order online (because I certainly didn't want to wait around in the area) and picked up. The pick up was quick and seamless. Now, lets get to the spicy bowl. Ya'll! I clutched my pearls when I saw that with taxes, the spicy bowl ended up being about $20. But when I saw how massive it was!? It fed me for 4 days and it is DELICIOUS! Plenty of chicken, I just wish I had a bigger bag of ruffles to go with it. I will definitely be back top support!

I appreciated the use of a beeper system while waiting--it's an efficient way to manage guests. However, the wait ended up being longer than expected, even though the restaurant didn't appear particularly busy. Unfortunately, the food didn't quite meet my expectations. The potato itself was unseasoned, and the Cajun sauce was poured on so heavily that it overwhelmed the dish rather than complementing it. The grilled chicken also tasted somewhat processed. I ended up adding sea salt just to finish the meal. I didn't personally try the salad, but my relative said it was good, although it could have used a bit more dressing. Overall, the food lacked the flavor and balance I was hoping for.
