Super ambiance pour un souper entre amis! Service très agréable & table d'hôte excellente! J'aurai aimé plus de dessert mais le reste était parfait & l'expérience est très sympa!

The staff in this restaurant were amazingly accommodating & friendly. Food portions are seemingly endless (we had to leave food on the plates & they STILL offered more). The chef treated us to an amazing tea from his home town in Africa & the atmosphere was perfect. Definitely a place worth visiting in large groups.
Had my family hear for a post- wedding celebration. They served more food than we could eat & even offered more without extra charge of whatever we wanted.
Atmosphere was beautiful & the food was authentic, complete with Hibiscus tea from the chef's home town.
amazing. i loved not having to think about what to order, they just bring platters of food! They also accommodated gluten free & vegetarian persons with no trouble. def recommend!
Personnel accueillant & chaleureux. Beau décor. Pas de stress!
Plat commun à partager intéressant pour tout goûter.
Pourrait être un peu plus épicé & chaud à mon goût.
Adresse à découvrir!
What a wonderful meal! As an indecisive person, I love the setup of the menu. Hummus, soup, & a choice of three entrées (or you can ask for a big playter of all of them. My boyfriend is Berber & said our food is as authentic as it gets! The cook was welcoming & treats everyone like family. The food cooked is very labour intensive & done to perfection. We will return on the regular.
Warning to tall people: the tables are low to the ground & can be a bit clumsy to sit on. My bf is 6ft & managed though!
Highly recommend!
