This was my first experience with food from Senegal and I was totally happy with my choice of Yassa Chicken, the Jollef rice was great as were the plantains. I am looking forward to going back and trying their other dishes.

The food was really tasty. The Yassa chicken was well seasoned. However, it was a bit tough for my taste. No matter, the place is great. Loved the cabbage. Try it.

staff was very nice, ambiance was A+, food was a little bland and dry. portions were nice. dessert was fair. dance floor and live band very nice if you closed your eyes you would think you were in Puerto Rico. patio dining was very nice!

Like eating in your auntie's kitchen - great food with tons of homey atmosphere. The value is super; each entree is more than enough for two. I love the cabbage!
