We ordered two recommended main courses, paired with fried plantains and plantain fufu as sides. For appetizers, we tried a fried dish and the signature dessert, millet yogurt. Everything was unique, delicious, and satisfying.
????? Grilled Whole Fish The grilled whole fish is a must-try here. The skin is crispy while the inside is tender! It’s seasoned just right, with onion and carrot as the main accompaniments. As a grilled fish lover, I really enjoyed the texture, especially the belly and fins. We dug in with our hands, just like other diners. It’s hard to imagine it tasting better with any other ingredients!
???? Thiou Curry Shrimp Thiou curry features several types of meat, and the shrimp are perfectly tender. The curry flavor isn’t overpowering and has a slight tanginess, loaded with onions and carrots. This was the second dish recommended by the staff, who suggested lamb as well.
For the main course, I highly recommend Plantain Fufu as a side! Fufu is a West African dish made from green plantains and water, with a slightly sticky, chewy texture and a hint of sweet plantain flavor. I loved it!
???? Appetizer Fried Dishes The spring rolls and dumplings were both delicious. The fried dumplings are filled with salmon paste and come with a spicy sauce—definitely worth trying individually.
For dessert, we ordered the Thiakry, a Senegalese specialty. It’s basically rich yogurt with millet added. It comes in a large portion, isn’t too sweet, and has a subtle cinnamon flavor. It’s quite filling and worth a try.

Simply amazing I love this place if you want to be treated with dignity and respect go here. I love how nice the people are here. They treat you with so much love and respect and you can tell the food is made with love. I had the Yassa Chicken and it was so juicy and flavorful. If I could I would have licked the container. I also ordered lamb now hold on let me tell you everyone can not make lamb this lamb taste like the cooking Gods prepared it them self.

Always love the Fataya & drinks. I always find a vegetarian or seafood dish I enjoy. And even get to practice a little French.

It's crazy how delicious and flavorful the rice is! I got the whole fish with rice and plantain fufu. When I tell you that as the best fufu I've ever had!!!! The fish was good but was a bit overcooked and dry, which is sad. If it were juicy this would've been the best meal! I'll try them again for sure.

My chicken was tuff, it’s pricey and the portions are small. The rice was a little dry, probably old. I’ll skip this place.

Today was my first time having my own cultural food. I’m vegan so I ordered the veggie plate fufu, rice, cabbage couscous with the sorrel drink. Didn’t bring my couscous or drink customer service is a must, investments towards the restaurant should be done, bad location there are no parking

The great: service is excellent, they are courteous, attentive and just nice.
The not so good: there are literally 3 pieces of meat in the lamb curry. They were bony spare ribs left over from lamb chops and tough to chew.
Would not recommend it to any true food lovers…
Also they charge you “ cash adjustment fee”, ie credit card fee…

I love the food with a nice glass of ginger juice.
Everything we tried was delicious. However, the Thiou curry with lamb is so F’n good! You have to try it. It paired well with fufu , plantains and djolof. The servers were nice and the restaurant was clean and welcoming. The atmosphere is homey.

The food was deeply flavored and very well cooked. The fried fish was tender and flaky and the seasoned Yassa on top was like nothing I’ve ever tasted. The Fataya were filled with salmon and warm spices and served with a spicy pepper sauce for dipping. Service was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed.
