Nice atmosphere, very kind staff were helpful to veganize/describe dishes that were new to me. Generous portions and beautiful art/decorations.

I literally cannot sing enough praise about Bennachin. They are so accomidating and friendly. I feel like i make so many friends just sitting in there or grabbing takeout... Between the staff and the customers the vibe is unmatched. I am vegan and they happily make veggie versions of what I order. My favorite being the egusi soup and fufu.
This food and this building is my comfort place and i literally drive from Hammond, LA to get my takeout. The drive isnt a question when it comes to making a visit. They are my favorite restaurant. I only wish I could come weekly vs monthly or bi monthly. Im certain i would keep them open all by myself if they ever opened a location on the Northshore 🤣

Absolutely a gem! first meal of the year on New Year’s Day at lunch and this didn’t disappoint at all. Visited with my local buddy who lives in NoLa and my other mate who was traveling to hang with me and although there were street closures due to that incident a few hours earlier, it was lovely to find that the restaurant was open albeit understaffed with just one lady bussing and waiting tables. It took about 30 minutes at minimum for the starters to come out followed by the main plates but it was certainly worth the wait.

You can’t call them to find out if they’re open or not you just have to get there and see if they’re closed. The times on google and their web is not correct.
Wasn’t satisfied with the food or service. They clean tables with regular Windex-which does NOT disinfect. Literally sat down to have someone else’s meal debris flicked at me.

So this was my first time here I really wanted to try African food and I was super excited to try the egusi spip with fu fu and honestly, I expected a different flavor to it. It was well prepared was freshly made because it was super hot. I feel like it had a little bit of a lamb flavor to it and it had a little bit of beef. It didn’t have too much of the meat in the dish. Would I recommend this to anybody? I feel like if you’re open to trying something new I’d say you can go, but I personally wouldn’t come here just because isn’t my taste of food.

Visited the restaurant today, the service was great and the food was so good. If you have never tried West African dishes - I loved the Bennachin (Jollof rice) and the Kone ni Makonda (Coconut rice, plantain and Black eyed beans with onion stew 10/10.
