    Rice and a bone
    J H.

    I went here today to get supa kanja. While I was there 2 gentleman invited to over to share what they were eating. They had rice with some type of lamb. The piece of lamb they had was meaty and good looking. They offered to buy me the same plate they had so I can have my own. The cook brought mine out and he gave me rice with a bone with hardly any meat on it. When I tried to bring it to his attention he acted as if he didn't understand. I will not be back here for that reason!

    This is a little gem of a restaurant! Was a little skeptical as we walked in for dinner on a Friday night and the place wasn't booming. Looks like a family business, the man who greeted and sat us also took our order and prepared our meals. I chose the Lamb stew dish and my boyfriend the Curry Goat. We were both amazed at the savory flavors. Both of the dishes were delicious with tender meat and plenty of spices. The goat dish is a little spicy, and served with a savory rice. We also ordered their home-made sorrel juice, which was also amazing. The service was very good and quick, place was neat and clean with a quiet atmosphere. We will definitely be coming back and placed this on our favorites list! Highly recommend!

    Dirty a$$ cups

    I had a hankering for African food, so we drove 35 minutes to one that was opened on Sunday. I called prior to going because I knew I wanted egusi with jollaf rice and my friend wanted fufu with chicken. There were soooo many red flags that warned me to RUNNN! When we arrived at the restaurant no one was present and by the time the lady came out I stated that I called previously and she said your food is ready?!?? Mind you I didn't place an order; only inquired if they served the dishes I wanted. We placed our orders and we waited... and waited... and waited.... As we were engulfed in our conversation we lost track of time but did ask for a cup to taste the juice that was recommended Sorrel & pineapple ginger; which were good. Had to ask for cups again & she grabbed two red cups from under the counter and said they were dirty?!?! So we're keeping dirty cups under the counter? So after some time past we hear her tell someone through the kitchen window to wash/sanitize the cups and we were eventually given two wet cups that were sticky and had stains on them! Fast forward to our food finally arriving... nothing was good! The Egusi was fishy and had a lot of meat that I didn't ask for, and on top of that it was $20! I asked for jollaf rice and immediately realized that the rice looked funny. When the lady asked me why I didn't eat much of my food I explained it was not what I expected and the rice was hard. This is when she decided to give a lesson in different parts of Africa the way the food is prepared varies. She then told me I had cous cous and not the rice I requested. It was my birthday weekend so my friend was treating me to lunch & that's when we were told our meal was $74?!?! Mind you we left 85% of the food on the table and refused to go containers because why? I will say the two guys said their meal was awesome, and I asked another customer about her order & she stated that they had excellent peanut soup. I'm glad they enjoyed their food and it was an expensive lesson to learn. I will not return.

    When I find a place that authentically represents their homeland, it elicits a level of respect. It's an honor to share your culture. My tastebuds were taken on a journey of savory indulgence. Thank you for sharing.

    Cassava stew and rice

    Great Senegalese restaurant. At first restaurant looks plain but the food makes up for the ambiance. Most people prefer to take out or delivery service. Food was delicious and customer service was friendly. Come hungry, portions are large. Also come earlier in the day. This is a family restaurant. They make a certain amount for each dish and by the evening, some of the items on the menu have been sold out. I highly recommend.

    Kine, Thanks for dinner. Another great meal and we will see you soon.

    Large oxtail plate...amazing flavor and perfect texture
    DollBaby Y.

    I ordered the fish yassa, ginger juice, and an oxtail plate to go. I also had a very delicious appetizer that I can't remember the name of, but it was basically like some kind of spring roll with beef and shrimp. Everything was absolutely amazing. The flavors were so fresh and authentic. The ginger juice is definitely a must try if you're a ginger fan like me. They're not stingy at all on the ginger, so much I was able to dilute it when I got home to make a whole other drink. The staff was very polite and helpful, even though I arrived a few minutes before closing and had no idea what I wanted. They didn't rush me, and even welcomed me to sit down as they helped guide me through the menu with great detail. I can't wait to go back.

    I was told to cancel the order bc chum wasn't going to make the order.

    I've order food here in the past and built an awesome relationship with the owner and her son Mohammed. It really hurts that I have to write such poor review when I fallen in love with the owner her son Mohammed and their food. But I wanted to share this experience with you to give you the fair chance in knowing that this could happen to you as well. However today I called to place an order via phone and request delivery through the business. A gentleman by the name of Cham answered the phone and stated that they do not do delivery and then I would have to go online and place the order through GrubHub. And then did just that went online and place the order through GrubHub. After some time I called to confirm that the order was placed and will be delivered. The gentleman by the name of Cheung answered the phone and stated that the prices that were showing on GrubHub were incorrect they were no longer 1599 but instead they were $22. He then requested that I call GrubHub and canceled the order and stated that he would not be making the order that I need it to go to DoorDash and place the order again I advised him that I was back on the website and the only other option to place the order was through GrubHub and that there was no option to place the order through DoorDash. He then started laughing and said that he was not placing the order. I didn't confirmed so you're not going to make the order for me he stated no. This is very disappointing considering the fact that I have recommended this place to so many of my friends and I've enjoyed going through the menu to try different cuisines my daughter and I have found a love for African cuisines and throughout the month we've been trying different dishes sometimes ordering more than one dish at a time each time I've ordered those specific African cuisines they've been about the same price $15. So for this to be the case is very saddening although that gentleman was not there when I placed the order the first couple of times and he did mention that the owner wasn't there today it makes me feel like I never wanna go back and also I want to advise everyone of this experience. This is an OK and it's not fair. It's not the customers fault that you did not change the prices reflecting on GrubHub or any other delivery sites. Then to say that he's not going to make the order when my $30 won't be refunded I'm not really understanding was happening. So order from them or don't but I wanted to share this experience with everyone so that you have a fair chance and know that this may or may not happen to you.

    Thieb Djen... Beautifully presented... God sooooo yummyyyy
    Emilie L.

    Kiné is just a sweet owner and loves what she does. She handles business and the food is hands down the best in the area and very much affordable. I go once in a while and when I go it never disappoints. My go to order is the Thieb djen... I've tried the dibi from a sister of mine and that too was good. I will always recommend this place to all my African peeps. Thank you for letting us have a little taste of Senegal. Bisous!!

Juicy, perfectly seasoned, and wrapped in warm, fresh tortillas. No dryness, no shortcuts, just clean flavor that lets the grill speak for itself. You can tell the chicken wasn't rushed or drowned in sauce to hide mistakes. Now let's talk about the Adana mix grill. This is the kind of plate that makes the table go silent for a minute. Everything was cooked with intention. Smoky, tender, well-spiced meats that tasted like they came straight off an open flame, not a reheated pan. Portions were generous without being sloppy, and every bite held its own. The service was warm, attentive, and unpretentious. Staff actually checked in without hovering, knew the menu, and made solid recommendations. That alone puts Adana ahead of a lot of places. The ambiance ties it all together. Cozy but upscale, relaxed without feeling casual. Great lighting, clean space, and a vibe that works whether you're on a date, with family, or just treating yourself to a good meal. Adana isn't trying to be trendy. It's just focused on doing good food, good service, and good atmosphere consistently. And honestly, that's rare these days. Definitely a repeat visit.

    I usually hesitate to leave 5 stars but they deserve it…read more The food was exemplary, the service was great and the environment/ atmosphere was beautiful. I came in before they closed but they still took wonderful care of me. They claim the chicken is hand slaughtered but I am not sure 100% as I haven't verified their vendor yet. Overall I will be coming regularly. The bathroom is also well maintained and was clean.

    Nothing about my first time to the new Rumi's was positive. For a 9 o'clock reservation we didn't…read moreget seated until well after ten o'clock. While we waited, we sat at the bar. I ordered a simple Bombay martini and one of the specialty cocktails for my wife. The bartender made my martini in a shaker and I remember hearing him asking someone else to stir it for him. For the next ten minutes or more, the bartender proceeded to make drinks for the waiters, I remember him spilling out two drinks and remaking them while my martini continued diluting in the melting Ice. Ten minutes or more later, he pours my martini into more of a champagne coup glass than a martini glass, and I waited another five minutes or more for my wife to get her drink. When I tasted the upmartini, It tasted so diluted, just bad, almost commical to me. I just laughed to myself because i've tended bar for a living and that was about the worst martini i've ever had in my life. Either Rumi is watering down his booze or the ice melted so much that there was barely a gin taste in the glass. I think their gig is rather than give you a real martini level pour they dilute you with so much melted Ice that you think you're getting a full pour martini, when, in fact, what you're getting is half gin and half melted ice. And believe ME, you are charged as though it was a real martini. The place was pretty busy, so a lot of people must not have a clue... or just like busy places. If everybody says, this is such a great place, I guess it's gotta be. Unfortunately, that's just Atlanta-if it's popular everyone just assumes it's good or pretends it is. I don't do well with pretend. Next after being seated at the table, i tried to order wine least expensive wines (so overpriced)-they were out of all of the lower-end overpriced wines I tried to order. It just bugs me to overpay so much for bottles of table wine. They're barely twenty dollars charging, 60-80 for them. But of course, ten minutes after I ordered the wine, this happened twice, the waiter told me they were out of the ones i was trying to order ( everyone must have had the same idea). Oh well. Right before the table was served the main course, the waiter and manager came to tell me that they had run out of the dish I ordered. I ended up replacing it with their duck dish that I had never heard of before but what the hell I'll try it (maybe I deserve it, because I remember my father always told me you never ordered duck in a strange restaurant you don't know) Everyone else at the table of 8 were served their meals ten minutes before my plate arrived. i'm like, please go ahead and start without me. Then, the duck arrives. I mean, if you're such a Rumi's, fan, try the duck and tell me what you think. First of all, it was lukewarm for something that apparently had just been made. The lukewarm duck comes 'in" this purple sauce, I mean, it wasn't even swimming in the purple sauce-It was submerged in the purple sauce. The waiter, of course, later brought me the wrong type of rice than the one i oredered..That's okay they brought me a new one right away. I was really starving at the time, but if I hadn't been, I don't think I would have eaten any of the duck. Being submerged in a kind of a sickening, putple sweet sauce it just wasn't appetizing at all. Challenge: if you're a big Rumi's fan, go ahead and please try the duck, but you have to try it like I did- lukewarm temptation. Then tell me if you remain an unconditionalRumi's fan. The bread is delicious though. To their credit when I tried to order 2 glasses of red wine after my meal was served, they did give us the vin de table for free. I won't be coming back here anytime soon.
