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.
