The music was great, but be prepared to hear uncensored lyrics. Might not be appropriate for younger children. The waitress was very sweet and checked on us often, but didn't offer more water and failed to bring is water after we requested more. The food took a while to come to our table, but was worth the wait. Lucky for us, we weren't in a rush or under any time restraints. The food was good, but the jollof was very salty and lots of small laurel leaf pieces. I wish the pieces were big enough to just pick out. Other than that, it was very tasty.

The place was clean, but small with about seven tables. I ordered at the counter and sat and waited for my jollof rice and red snapper. My mouth watered as I thought about the meal. Once i received my meal, I had no regrets on my choices. The rice was filled with veggies and chicken. The red snapper was fried to perfection. And the fried plantains melted in my mouth. The meal was very delicious, hearty, enough for two people. Some would not agree with the price to eat here. My lunch meal was $35. I noticed several people coming and going with pickup orders. This is a hidden gem. I'd definitely return to try other items. Accessible entrance.

I ordered the pepper soup with goat meat and the pepper soup with seafood, fufu and jollof rice. The food was soo good! The pepper soup was spicy and delicious. It was my first time trying the seafood pepper soup, I am so glad I ordered it. It was full or shrimp, fish and crab. The broth tasted like gumbo. I have a second favorite African restaurant now.

After living in Benin for two years, we were bummed that the nearest Beninese restaurant was in Tucson and found this place to fill a foodie hole in our hearts/stomachs. It did not disappoint! When we first walked in around 5pm on a weekday, it was pretty empty. Over the course of the evening though, we saw many people coming in for large pick up orders. Unassuming interior with an array of simple seating arrangements and afro-pop/music videos playing in the background. You can see the whole kitchen from dining area and can tell it's a family operation! The menu can be a little confusing as they have change their specials every day. If you're looking for something in particular and don't see it on the menu for that day, I would definitely call in to check. We went on a Thursday (special was potato greens), but they also happened to have cassava leaves available (usually Wednesday's special). The staff were also very kind in answering questions. There were a few items we never had before, and they offered us generous samples of what felt like the whole menu! I ended up getting the 1) fried fish with attieke and alloco (plantain) which I believe is an everyday special and 2) the potato greens stewed with meat and served with rice. It was about $20 each dish which was a little pricier than I anticipated until the portions came out: they were huge. I got a mountain of rice on a platter to go with my potato greens. No wonder people kept coming by to pick up for their family dinners! Ya'll, when I tasted this food, I almost shed a tear. The stewed potato greens were phenomenal. Well spiced with tons of flavor packed in, accompanied perfectly with rice or fufu. The meat stewed with the greens was also very tender and flavorful as well. Honestly, I don't remember if it was beef or pork but I found myself savoring every little morsel with rice. Mmmmm. As for the fried fish and attieke dish: attieke is like a slightly tangy grain made from cassava flour and water. The attieke flavor and texture was spot on, and their pepper sauce was like coming home. I will say that both their alloco and fish were a little dry for me (I like both practically deep fried), but I smothered it in their amazing pepper sauce and devoured it anyways. We also got some of their homemade bottled bissap and ginger beer that was great. *Note: they only have bottled water for sale, so if you go ham on the pepper sauce like we did, prepare yourself. I loved this place and can't wait to come back to try some of their other offerings when the craving hits!

Would go back to try other things in the menu. We were thinking they probably ran out because they had been busy.
