I ordered the: Fataya Beef 5/5 Tiebou Dine White, Wékh (fish & broken rice) 3.5/5 Dibi (jollof & lamb) 3.5/5 Cassava Leaf 3.5/5 Juices hibiscus and ginger 5/5 Overall I'll keep trying other African spots. This won't be my top pick. The price was like $24.99 for each entree and I feel like you can get other nicer restaurants in the area for better pricing and quality. Coming from one West African to another. The food doesn't have any spice a mild flavor. They give you pepper sauce on the side. The ambiance is very casual!

I've tried just about everything on their menu, and it sparked such a love for Senegalese food that I ended up taking a trip to Senegal last year...yes, it's that good. The family who runs this place is incredibly sweet, welcoming, and somehow never forgets a face. I bring friends and family any chance I get...partly to share, partly because I need everyone to understand the hype!

We ordered their chicken and lamb dibi combo, fish fataya and their jollof! Everything came out perfectly and tasted amazing. You can really tell there's care put into both the service and the kitchen. If you're dining here, definitely ask for Bintou. She made our experience unforgettable. We'll definitely be back more often!

A favorite is the Peanut Butter Chu and Chicken Afra. And for my dinner crew, there werent any major complaints. Flavor was there and quality. The one thing was around the desserts. Because we ordered via third-party app, I think the cake was subbed for whatever was available and not specifically we ordered. But not a major miss. Overall, delicious food and good portions. If you're in the Takoma Park area and having a taste for some warming West African cuisine, definitely check them out!

Warning: this place is not for everyone. Don't go here on a date, don't go with kids, don't go if…read moreyou are on a rush and don't go if you feel entitled. This is a very humble establishment that runs on African time but serves really authentic cuisine. Go here solely for the food. Better if you can do a take out order. I had grilled lamb with spinach, jollof rice and sweet plantains. Just amazing. I also did a take out order of Ndolle (goat with some bitter leaf gravy). Loved it. There are too many issues with the restaurant. Outdated ambience, super super slow service, difficulty communicating with the staff which resulted in some extra side dishes I ended up paying for, their website doesn't work, the prices they charged were a bit more than what was on the menu (basically outdated menus) and the list simply goes on. Inspite of all these issues, I would still go there because none of those issues seemed intentional. I didn't see foul play. The manager/owner Patrick and the server/cashier Agbenfa both seemed naive and humble. They tried to make sure I enjoyed the food. I also feel I may have gotten lucky because the food that was served to me was hot. (Not cold or room temp like some of the others mentioned) I went on a Friday night. I would have to try a few more times before judging if the food is consistent. But the two entrees and the three sides I tried were all phenomenal. It also helps if you know what you are getting but I like to try new things especially when I am going to authentic places and I don't mind taking small risks. Oh the portions were huge. When it took 30 mins for the lady to come take my order, I was all set to leave the place and was prepared for a 1star experience as I started reading the reviews. But I'm glad my patience served me well. I wasn't in a rush. It was a lazy Friday evening. Lazy enough to stick around long enough to try their food.

This food was just great! My husband and I have dined worldwide and I'm not exaggerating. I consider him a picky eater. The fish soya, egusi, turkey wings (my husband had), and jollof were extremely flavorful. Have to say we do like spice. The staff were polite and even boxed up our meals after we dined in.

The restaurant aesthetics were STUNNING! However, the bathroom needs a renovation. FOOD/DRINKS: The mocktail I had was refreshing and very delicious. I want to thank the owner for the excellent service, experience, and recommendations. I ordered the 3-courrse Tasting Menu. The fufu and okra were okay. The shrimp appetizer was delicious, but the sauce was a bit spicy. For my entree, I had the Gambian Jollof rice which was okay and the oxtail stew, which was so good. Lastly, the owner recommended the bread pudding cake with pecan ice-cream. That was SO, SO, SO DELICIOUS!!!! The overall experience: 10/10 except the bathroom, which was spacious but not as clean and stylish as I would have expected. That was a 5/10. Want more authentic opinions?
