Amazing food, service, and experience! We LOVED the food and will definitely be coming back - the bissap juice, grilled chicken, and yellow rice were our favorites!

I picked up a feast and every single thing was so so delicious. We had the grilled red snapper, spicy grilled whole chicken (PS spice is on point!l ) ALL the sides were amazing, attieke, fried plantain, rice. Will definitely be back!

I have followed their IG account for a year and finally had a chance to visit this past weekend. I brought my friends with me and we had a great time. The restaurant is clean, the chef and young man who waited in us were so welcoming and friendly. This was the best Ivorian food I’ve tasted outside of Cote d’Ivoire! Fresh, full of flavor, and filling!!! I will be going back soon.

You eat with first with your eyes, and let me tell you I FEASTED with my eyes. The presentation is spectacular and is second only to the taste. The roasted chicken was succulent and seasoned all the way through. The deepest part of the breast was just as delicious as the rest. The fried red snapper was simple, and highlighted the freshness of the fish, crispy and amazing topped with lemon. For sides definitely definitely have the yellow rice, it was batting with the mains and we had to compete over who got the last bite. The fried plantains were also excellent and gave a perfect sweet pallet cleanser. Service was incredible and the gentleman who took care of us greeted us with a smile and made sure all of our needs were taken care of. Overall one of the best food experiences I’ve had in a long time, and I’m excited to come back again in the future.

Good portion with great value. Yellow rice, grill fish must try!! We waited a little while for our dishes, but it turned out it’s all worthy! Completely enjoyed all the dishes. Make sure you ask for their hot chili powder.

My first time trying African food and it was delicious. The service was also very friendly and attentive. I had the grilled branzino with yellow rice, alloco (sweet plantains) and the bissap juice (hibiscus). Everything was delicious and the portions were generous.

Stopped by randomly. Food was refreshingly delicious! I had the lamb with fried plantains and ordered grilled chicken to go. People were friendly and attentive, and provided me with plenty of recommendations. Will return next time I'm in the area to try the fish.

From the outside, the restaurant looks very low-key and unnoticeable. I have been looking forward to experiencing authentic African dishes for a long time and couldn't find one yet. Luckily, this location showed up on my Google Maps when we were ready for lunch in a nearby area. The space is tiny and fits only 3 tables. We ordered quite a lot for 3 girls and all the dishes came out distinctive, even the sauces (red is tomato taste & green is chili spicy) which we got so addicted to that mixed them in every single thing. However and frankly, we waited likely 1 hour for the food and I still gave it MAX stars because the food soothed us heavenly and made it all up. The waiter was nice and the chef lady was friendly and communicative. She suggested calling ahead for food pre-ordering then coming to enjoy with a short wait. So you gotta be ready to stay excessively patient if you walk-in. Only 1 chef and food is made fresh when an order is placed. Regardless of whether you are a fan of African food, you should give this place a shot. It's enthusiastically endorsed.
