Amazing staff, food was 10/10. I had the stuffed plaintains with mushroom (vegan dish) and it was SO GOOD.
I reeeaallly don’t usually like loud restaurants, but this place is so fun!! A drum line came out! Felt like a community vibe, and everyone was welcome to join the party. Not a place for intimate conversation, but the food was delicious, cocktails fun—good for an energetic dinner out. You can tell the owners, managers and staff put a lot of love into this sweet small business.

Everything is wonderful here food, cocktails, music, and don't forget the bread pudding!!!!. It's a vibe 10/10.
dropped in on a whim and honestly, best decision ever! I sat at the bar and the bartender was super friendly and welcoming. I ordered the Fleur de Lis absolutely delicious! I also got a to-go order with the lamb burger and a salad, and OMG that salad was amazing. I seriously want to go back just for that salad! The lamb burger was fire too. Definitely recommend stopping by and showing them some love..everything was top tier!

One of the best restaurants I’ve been to in Chicago. The experience here is unique and charming. Magic and Faith are incredible!

I had etouffee, coffee and bread pudding. Everything was excellent. Maybe the music was a tad too loud.

Fantastic food. The seating was a little weird, as we were seated next to the only other occupied table in the restaurant. But the staff was pleasant and the atmosphere was great.

If you care about service or your time, please avoid this place. Really it took an hour and 15 minutes to get our drinks and they werent good, watery, and tasted the same! Food came out about 20 minutes after that. Portions were small, but the price was high! 20% mandatory gratitude on tables over 2!
No offer to comp anything after waiting so long. They also do a really loud birthday drumming and speech thing!actually offensive dining experience. Also the menu was confusing. For the money it was robbery. $125 for half a bad meal.

We waited 1 hour and 15 minutes before we even got our drinks. The cocktails were watery & not particularly flavorful for $20 each. We ordered 2 entrees and an appetizer, ate it all, and still left hungry because the portions were so small. I liked the flavors but my wife found them too spicey to enjoy. The wait staff did not offer to comp anything and still charged a 20% gratuity. Hyde Park deserves better.

Soulful, festive restaurant with amazing african diaspora inspired flavors. Great, friendly service. Pineapple jerk wings and salmon burger were a hit and the bread pudding! Yes, the bread pudding! Looking forward to the musical vibes to come and feature dishes from throughout the diaspora.

Service was very slow. And it wasn't just me. Both tables on either side of me also had to inquire about where their dishes were. They have a timing issue. Will not be back. Food was not bad, though.

The food was absolutely terrible this place is totally overrated.
I liked the décor, and the service was okay, but man, the food was very disappointing.

I’ve been 3 times but this new Suya dish?! Amazing. It usually comes with white rice I think. This had a nice balance with the honey on the naan and the spices on everything else. I fell in love with the Caribbean burger then also the stuffed plantains.
I love the presentation they give for birthday celebrations.
Good vibes and people. It feels like home and the food is great.
