Mention toute spéciale pour le futu sauce graine, tout simplement exceptionnel : riche, parfumé & parfaitement exécuté. Une expérience culinaire à ne pas manquer !
Je recommande vivement ce restaurant pour un voyage gustatif unique & mémorable.
I can say with confidence, that I was served the best fish I ever had! I got their tuna plate & the skin was perfectly crispy & cooked perfectly! I left with the biggest smile with a belly full of comforting, delicious food.
I am absolutely coming back here again & would highly recommend others do too!
Nourriture délicieuse, autant végétarienne qu'avec viande. Personnel très sympatique. Belle déco & bonne musique. Très belle expérience du début à la fin!
J'ai adorée mon expérience hier soir au restaurant! L'accueil fut chaleureux & l'ambiance impeccable. Je recommande à 100%, la nourriture était excellente & pour tous les goûts🤍 Merci encore

Excellent restaurant afro! L'accueil est chaleureux & authentique, le service attentionné & les plats sont savoureux & faits maison viande, volaille, poisson & options végétaliennes. Le couple qui tient l'établissement dégage une belle énergie & met clairement du coeur dans tout ce qu'il fait. Une adresse à découvrir pour la qualité de la cuisine & l'ambiance conviviale.
Très bon restaurant, différent de la cuisine nord américaine. Nous avons mangé de la chèvre par le conseil du proprio, épicée à souhait, du poulet yassa avec sa sauce exquise ainsi que le choukouya veggie que nous avons adoré! Très bon restaurant, je vous le conseille!

From when you reach the outside, you feel welcomed from its colours & look. Upon walking inside, you feel a sense of familiarity, not just welcomed but embraced with a warm hug from someone close. The décor with the art around is truly captivating, especially the painting with figures on it. The food was very enjoyable, the bissap was truly a touch of warmth & pleasure enrobed to feel like being on a cloud, especially with the extra touch of mint. Nancy's charismatic personality truly sparked well, as it also was quite radiant, the music was also a nice touch putting it all in a pedestal of its own, truly.

Je me suis rendue à ce restaurant vendredi soir à 19h & il était fermé. Même pas un mot d'afficher sur la porte. Ce restaurant est-il toujours en activité ? Ou définitivement fermé ?
Loved this place! I had the fish with plantain & the flavour was good. The peppers on top had a great flavour. My partner had the chicken & said the chicken had a good flavour. Portion sizes were good too, we got an entire plate of plantain as a side.
The place was clean, service was friendly & would definitely go back to try other items

the lady that served us was very nice & welcoming.
the jerk chicken was mediocre for the price, but not necessarily bad. the fufu texture was off & not sticky like it's supposed to be.
the beed was very stiff & the flavor of beef that was served with it was very strong.
Food is very tasty & the server was nice. Her meal recommendations were on point. I was pleasantly surprised, as it was my first time trying this food, it felt very authentic.
The pricing was a bit higher than I expected but the portions were of good size so it made it a non-issue. I would go again!
