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.
