    Their food dishes are soooo good. I tried their fish and rice. I could go back for more! I'm glad I gave Da PoinT a chance.

We ordered the honey Berbers chicken bits BOMB 10/10 - they were so crispy and so flavorful My husband and best friend ordered the root beer braised short rib- WOW! 10/10 - tender, slightly sweet, buttery rich deliciousness. The whipped potatoes were to die for I ordered the The Jollof Platter with Fried Catfish. OMG! It was perfect, not greasy, flavorful batter and those rice and beans. That arugula sald was refreshing too Everything was just perfect! It was worth the wait. I'm ready to come back today! Wow!

She made menu selections based on what she loved most and what she knew I would appreciate. She did NOT MISS. I loved every single thing about this place. The vibe is chill but vibrant, with groovy old school R&B and hip-hop music playing overhead but not so loud that you could not have a conversation. We sat at the bar and interacted with the beautiful and friendly bartender and servers and folks from the kitchen. We ordered all of our food at once, but had it come out as it was ready, I enjoyed every exquisite morsel. My only regret was that I couldn't stay longer. I had to scoot on out of there to make my red-eye flight out of LAX and they accommodated my rush. And despite the inexplicable traffic, I made it there and through to the gate in good time. What a treat and I can't wait to go back! For anyone considering visiting Two Hommes, don't sleep. Get there quick and often.

    "I have been a loyal customer for 5 months ordering consistently. Today I spent $75.29 on an order…read moreand waited 4HOURS delivery. When I called I was treated very rudely, hung up on, and my number was busy. I was told I had to physically come pick up a cash refund -- I do not have a car. However I will say the OWNER personally reached out, apologized sincerely, acknowledged my loyalty as a customer and assured me everything would be taken care of. That meant a lot and shows he does care about his customers. The owner gets 5 stars. The customer service staff and delivery experience gets 1 star. I hope this is a turning point because the food has potential and the owner clearly takes pride in his restaurant. Will update my review based on how things are handled going forward."

    I ordered via Door Dash a couple of weeks ago -- got the Pepper Soup with goat and pounded yam, and…read moreRice combo with Fish. First, the food arrived hot and well-wrapped so that's a plus. The Pepper soup was absolutely delicious-- so flavorful, spicy and the goat was tender. And it was a nice portion. The pounded yam was nice--it was like a mashed potato ball, smooth and the perfect neutral canvas for the soup. Next, the Jollof rice with the fish--very tasty, and a generous serving of rice that lasted me up to 3 days and by day 3 the rice was even better (I made chicken to go with it). I truly enjoyed my meal and rated it "I love it!" The funny thing is, I apparently ordered from them a year or so before and didn't have a good food experience so I didn't rate them well--I completely forgot and only realized it when my old bad DD review popped up after I posted my new good one . But everyone deserves another chance and they hit it out the park with that meal. So much so that I ordered from them again the following week and tried the Fufu combo with the mixed meat (cow leg, beef and tripe--I had always seen tripe but never had it) Egusi and the Eba. It was well prepared but the flavor was interesting to me--there were notes of bitterness (from the bitter leaf I presume or maybe the melon seeds?) and the Eba was a bit sour, like Ethiopian injera but stronger in my opinion. I really wanted to like it -- I even tried adding salt -- but I think maybe it's an acquired taste for my personal palate. The beef was a bit tough and the what I think was the cow leg skin was thick, tough and chewy. I've had Jamaican cow foot soup before and the skin was tender so not sure if it's just a different kind of cooking or what ‍. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't my cup of tea but maybe for someone else it's perfect. I'm only sharing my experience for someone who may have never had it and like me was curious, so this is my opinion on it (after all, Yelp is all about the word of mouth). But nothing ventured, nothing gained. Still, I want to try the other items and will always come back to that pepper soup and rice combo! UPDATE on 3/2/26 -- After my review I then got a taste for jollof again. So Yesterday I ordered the Edikanikong too and it was truly delicious!!! So flavorful and fresh! These are some of the best greens I've had! And that's it. Honestly because I ordered from DD so much I mostly do my reviews now there vs here on Yelp, but I felt compelled to share my experience on this spot on this platform too. FYI - I deleted my food photos that I uploaded to DD so I have none to share here.

    My partner and I have had our eyes on this place for a while because the concept of…read moreAfrican-Filipino fusion just sounds delicious... but dragging my partner out of bed early on a Sunday to head to the farmers' market in the Redondo Beach Riviera has been a struggle. Today I was able to make the near impossible happen and we got to the market before it got busy (around 10am). I ordered the goat stew whereas my partner (who is Filipino) just wanted to check out their food. As such he got the salmon. The goat stew reminded me of a flavorful and creamy, Indian curry and the meat was very tender. The owner said to be careful of bones but I encountered none. Meanwhile the salmon was well cooked, soft and not dry. The sauce itself had a pleasing sourness to it but the hot sauce on the side really kicked up the flavor. It reminded us of a creamy Tabasco with a myriad of other flavors like garlic and onions. Ironically, the salmon had bones. The side salad was sweet in a good way with quartered grapes providing the main sweetness. The rice had a nice flavor profile rich with tomato--it reminded us of a cross between a creole rice and Spanish rice... but also not? We don't quite know how to describe it but it was good. If I'm ever able to get my partner up early again on a Sunday, we'll be sure to go back! I hope they eventually open a brick and mortar store. Tip: Buy a bottle of the hot sauce if you remotely like hot sauce. If you buy online, the shipping alone is the cost of buying a bottle in person.

My boyfriend was stuffed and I could only eat half before I was too full. The star of the show was the mango float ($5 each/2 for $8 if I remember correctly). We finished it in no time and immediately regretted not getting 5 more. It's so fresh, simple, and not too sweet that it's addictive. Will definitely be stocking up next time!

    No menu? This was…read morethe first stop in our Non-Ethiopian-African-Adventure of last weekend. We'd enjoyed Ngoma on Wilshire and had been looking around for some new non-Ethiopian African choices when we happened upon an article that mentioned some Nigerian restaurants in Inglewood. Bamboo Cafe is a bit of a drive over highway and land streets. It's located near the racetrack. We were curious as to what to expect, as we'd called a couple of times and been told: "Yes, we're open until ___, but we're closing early because I'm going to the store." When we walked in, the place was practically empty on a Friday night and the kitchen seemed closed. "Hi," I said. "Are you guys open?" "Oh yes!" said the owner, very friendly. "Do you have a menu?" "Oh no!" he laughed in a jolly way. (We were later to find out there *was* a menu. I guess it was some sort of off-night?) "I can cook you up some goat with rice." "How much?" "Oh, say $10." Hm. Okay. The dish that came, accompanied by spiced spinach, was very good, and quite SPICY. (In a nose-running, teary-eyed way.) But very tasty. He said: "A few people are out of town." I said: "Do you normally have a menu, or is it always like this?" "Hold on!" he said, and then left the building. (We still don't understand where he went.) He returned with a very nice postcard that said "Bamboo Cafe" with a full menu. (Why did he have to leave the building to find this is yet another mystery.) Aaanyway, the food was good. The decor -- dusty old plastic flowers and an interior that seemed more like someone's bare little living room -- was charming and cozy. If you want a glossy, Hollywood / Silver Lake style hipster place, DON'T go here. If you want an interesting, friendly, authentic little African vibe, definitely go!
