Nene was Awesome, I’m a chef I travel the country cooking. From venue to venue. I live outside the USA. I have to say the food was amazing and the service was excellent. Nene is very helpful. If you don’t know anything about Africa food she will lead you in the right direction. I went there 2 nights in a row. Again everything was amazing. And the portions are generous. I’ll be back when I’m in town again.

I've been here 3 times since I moved here and this is one of my favorite spots to eat at in Vegas. The food is amazing.. everything I've had was cooked to the best standard. My favorite dish is the Grilled Red Snapper. The atmosphere and vibe is very welcoming. The servers are very genuine and great at what they do. Don't hesitate to try them out.. it's definitely worth it. I'll be back for sure.

My husband wanted to visit this place while we were in Las Vegas because he saw on tv that Shannon Sharpe spoke so highly of their food. We went on Christmas Eve 2024.

We sat at the bar because we were going to order to go.My husband ordered the oxtail stew, bbq wings, and plantains. I ordered empandas and jollof rice. We were told it would be a 30-minute wait. While waiting, I ordered a mojito, and he ordered a Martini. Both drinks were good. Our food was ok. It wasn't great, nor was it bad. I believe the food would have been much better had we dined in. Our food wasn't as warm when we arrived back at our hotel. We had to eat it as is because there was no way of warming it up. The food was seasoned well.

Keeping everything in mind, we would rate it a 3.5 overall food wise. For the service, we would rate it a 5 because they were very cordial and had very positive attitudes. We would eat here again. We would dine in, as opposed to having takeout.

Very friendly staff that if you've never had Senegalese or Gambian food will bring you samples of the stew bases so you can taste it before you decide. Everything was amazing!! Some Spanish influences as there is Maltas, empanadas and fried plantains. Go ahead and be adventurous, try their food and you won't be disappointed. Hidden gem in Vegas!!!

Amazing food and service. Best oxtail stew I’ve ever had. Fufu wasn’t for me not much flavor but worth an experience. I would do rice instead the next time. Everything on the appetizer sampler was delicious too.

Best African restaurant 😋

Andrea was a nice person that was our waiter. I notice that all the people that they serve they let them know an explain the food options an even have a taste test just to make sure we know that we actual order what we like. I would definitely come again and recommend people to come out and eat there. The food is not only delicious but the atmosphere is top tier as well. They also have live band come out as well. Will be coming again with the family !!!!
