Service was excellent, the place is cozy. Unfortunately, I expected more food. Very small portions.

Bon restaurant, super service.
Ça fait grandement du bien d'avoir un restaurant offrant une cuisine africaine dans le quartier, c'est rafraîchissant & tellement différent :). Merci

Update 2025: whilst I had a good meal (& adapted for vegan options), for the cost of the meals, I think experience had some hiccups. We waited 45 minutes for our bill due to a payment machine issue & they didn't provide free drinks or a discount for the wait, which is honestly the LEAST they could have done for a party of 9 which had been seated for already over 3 hours. Really disappointed in that part of the service although the servers themselves were attentive & kind.

Old: Food is pricey but I really love the concept of this restaurant! Modernized food with a lot of care & thought out into the dishes. A little pricey but definitely worth a visit. The restaurant is beautiful but could do with more personality inside in my opinion. Overall happy with the place (wish there was more vegan options).

I gave a 3 because food was excellent & flavourful but the service was poor. They do not know how to handle groups. We were 9 people & we were made aware that we would need to get the menu for $90 each with 20% gratuity during reservation, so thats okay. However the issue was service was very slow. Our first course only arrived after 1h30 in the restaurant & at the end of the courses, we waited 45mins for the bills due to an issue with their machine. We weren't given any free drinks or discount for spending basically 3h45 in their restaurant. It was disappointing.

La nourriture est très bonne, mais les portions sont petites. Resto gastronomique, mais service… comment dire… mon verre s'est renversé, je ne me suis même pas faite offerte un autre (même à mes frais); c'était l'anniversaire de mon mari, on a amené le gâteau & j'ai dit à la serveuse pour le mettre au frigo, elle a dit je vais voir avec la cheffe & elle a laissé le gâteau sur la table tout le long de notre souper & ne nous est pas revenue sur ça, donc on a compris qu'il fallait prendre leur dessert (on aurait aimé tout même qu'il nous offre de le garder au frais) … donc la petite attention qui aurait pu faire la différence n'était pas là. Je ne suis pas sûre de vouloir y retourner.

So very tasty! We loved the complexity of the spices.

A hidden gem in The Plateau area of Montreal. If you're looking for something different, & mind-blowing flavours, give this place a try.

The restaurant is a Pan-African fusion restaurant; a hybrid of Saharan, Congolese, & Mozambican cuisine. The flavours of the unique spice blends were outrageously good. You can tell the sauces are very thoughtfully prepared. & the small, well-curated menu shows that they want to specialize in what they do, rather than offer a hundred different things & miss the mark on some. Also, a well put together all-South African wine list.

We will definitely come again!

Ma découverte de l'année! Plats succulents, saveurs nouvelles, & parfois relevées. Profiter de ce petit resto, c'est voyager pour quelques heures. Nous étions 6, & nous avons tous été ravis.

Best restaurant I've been to in years & I've lived in NYC for 23 years. Excellent! Visit for the F1 weekend.
