The vibe is so chill and everyone feels right at home, like a welcoming family. The live music was enjoyable, and service was attentive but not over-bearing. The food was amazing! It was my first time trying African food and I’m am more than satisfied with the experience. Definitely going to visit again, and recommend this place to others who are craving some good African dishes.

This is my first time eating this style of food and it was delicious. This place has very large (in my opinion) portions. The staff made great recommendations based on what we told them about what we liked. They were friendly, energetic and welcoming.

The best food and experience, always. Been coming here for a few years now & we are always greeted warmly & the food never misses. The live music on Friday and Saturday is an elevated vibe of its own. Our fav are the red stew, oxtails, & chicken wings.

Great experience, delicious food,good music.and awesome service. This was my first time having African food and the waiter gave us samples and explained what was the best way to enjoy the dish.

Holy moly, this place is good.
Shouts out Nene, for the excellent service.

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.
