I got a baobab popsicle on a hot day & the vegan tajine another time. The hibiscus drink is delicious & the owner gave it to me on the house. the prices are really reasonable
2026: the vegan sandwich is sooo good. Kind of reminds me of my childhood. The owner is really friendly

I'm not usually a huge hibiscus fan but their hibiscus drink is super delicious & refreshing! Lovely atmosphere with really cool fabrics as wall paper, fun table coverings. Would totally come back again & next time I want to try the baobob fruit popsicle!

I had an amazing experience at this Mauritanian restaurant! I tried the meatball sandwich, & it was absolutely delicious-flavorful, perfectly seasoned, & really filling. To go with it, I had a hibiscus drink (bissap), which was so refreshing & balanced the meal beautifully.

What really stood out, though, was the staff. They were so generous & welcoming that it truly felt like being back home in the dessert, surrounded by warmth & hospitality. The atmosphere is inviting, & you can tell they care deeply about making every guest feel at ease.

If you're looking for authentic flavors & a place where you'll be treated like family, this spot is a must-visit. Highly recommend!

So good! The owner was so kind & friendly. I love that they have vegan options that are interesting. I had the vegan sandwich which had a bean filling. The drinks are so good too. I just wish they were open for dinner!
