The food was incredibly tasty, and the service was excellent. However, the portion size was a bit too much for someone with a smaller appetite like mine.

This location has now moved into 2009 E Dublin Granville Road. I ordered jollof rice and chicken and it wasn’t pleasant. The rice and chicken was not fresh I spent $17.51 regretted my decision to buy food from here. Originally when I buy food from Sermat it usually didn’t disappoint but yesterday I don’t know what food that was. Please if you are looking at this please give your customers decent food and fresh.

The fufu and goat makes me feel like I'm back in Benin. When I'm feeling nostalgic for W Africa, this is the only place.

This place is now called The Dish and is on Dublin-Granville Road. I have been a patron of this restaurant for over a year and I love their peanut butter soup. I highly recommend this restaurant. They are very friendly and they have excellent food.

As a person patrizing any establishment of any kind any where I was insulted with the unprofessionalism of the first employee taking my order than running to the back and not submitting h my order. Secondly, another employee comes and retakes my order to only get it completely wrong.The set up was very nice and was familiar to me so atmosphere wasn't bad until the employees displayed unprofessionalism acting a bit funny.The wait was not too long had my order been correct and fresh.I asked for pounded yam which is closer to white in color it was it was mixed with something .How did they not know I had no food allergies and I asked for my swallow to be pounded yam with my egusi soup with mixed meat.I also got extra dry week old looking fried chicken inwhich never has my egusi been prepared like that here in America or back homeland.Lets not forget my spinach or leaf soup that had none in it but plenty hard meat from maybe 2 days ago or more. Those plantains were so dry ofcoarse pics are on this review.I always do review good or bad so that is why I started taking pics in the beginning never to regret coming in that awful placeIts just wrong to treat people so unwelcoming and they come to your place.If I could give a -100 o trust me I would.Not sure who the owner was but he needs new staff and cook.There was one short nice finegal with a pink glittery hat she needs to be training the others on their people skills and customer service.I did not pay my friend paid as he said he didn't want to look bad if any one any how any where will b an embarrassment it has to be the owner .Yes I am west African ?? to be exact and I think with the treatment alone I will never go in places like this very beneath me.Kid-friendliness: Attitudes not nice so not kid friendly if attitude is betterDietary restrictions: They mixed certain things they should not so be careful of u have allergies

The concept of customer service is not understood at Semat. This restaurant could be much more but it doesn’t understand the American concept of good customer service.
Nope the food isn’t like before its not good at all now

I honestly don’t know where to begin; second to none, close to home feeling, feels like I’m eating in my mama’s kitchen. Friendly and professional service, busy at all times, Patience is required due to high demand levels. Amazing food and music, clean and comfortable surroundings. Go for lunch and/or dinner with friends and loved ones, trust me it’s so worth it.More to say but will end it here.

Spent 40 minutes waiting on a called in order that should've been done 10 minutes before I actually got there. Service staff is rather rude. Just stand around in the kitchen gossiping with each other instead of cooking
John Baldwin
Terrible service. Super long wait time for food. Inside smells like burning food and smokey air visible when looking at the lights.

The food is the bomb. I love the fabrics used in decorating the restaurant.
