I happen to really like this restaurant, and keep hoping for the best. But lately I felt the need to do this review.

I had an amazing experience at this restaurant! The customer service was outstanding, and the food was excellent. Julie and Nodali were incredibly welcoming and made me feel right at home. I can't wait to come back to this classic African restaurant. Julie's hospitality was exceptional, and she even offered to arrange a ride for me. If I could, I'd give this place, especially Julie, 100 out of 10 stars. Thank you so much!T. Solange
