Evelyn T. • September 15, 2017Tasty Senegalese food with big portions! Staff are friendly, so are the patrons! My favourites are fried tilapia & grilled lamb (with various sides to choose from). Don't forget their homemade juices!

Jeremy F. • July 18, 2012Mafe-a peanut butter sauce rich with lamb, carrots, and potatoes, all redolent with the flavor of dried red snapper.

Beatriz S. • October 16, 2018Lamb shank and fish is so good and prices are very reasonable. A bit crowded and they will probably get your wine order wrong (happens every time.. ) but it’s really about the food. Recommend 10/10

Magdalene P. • March 24, 2014Lamb, lamb & more lamb, in the best of ways! Try the one in a peanut sauce. Also, didn't try it, but the whole red snapper looks great. Plus, the guinea hen was delicious. Nom nom. Expect a wait.

Yueyue G. • May 7, 2018Waiters seem to have never worked in a restaurant before, asked me 5x to repeat my drink order. Chicken tajine is pretty good but otherwise unimpressive

Jarel H. • October 26, 2023Chicken Suya bowl is incredible.

Ernesto G. • July 14, 2018A very humble restaurant that delivers tasty dishes. The lamb special tibs is great for spicy curry 🌶 lovers. The lamb yebeg alecha was a more grilled take on the meat. Both heavily recommended.

ben m. • August 19, 2014The yatakilt alicha is delicious. The veggie combo is delicious even for meat eaters!

Amy • December 5, 2012Go for their $9 Lunch special and get their combo plate, which is two meats and two veggies. This allows you to try different dishes. The beef tips are a must, so seasoned, with side of chick peas.
