Amazing introduction to Congolese food. The makayabu and liboke pork were awesome with the spices…read morein the liboke pork were to die for. Everything paired well with the fufu. Kwanga was also good but I found it harder to pair with the other dishes (probably due to my unfamiliarity). Callaloo leaves were very flavorful and a perfect side dish. Highly recommended!

The food was not so great. When I received my egusi and opened it I was shocked at how brown and oily it was. It also smelt a bit burnt. It looks nothing like egusi soup and it's just literally filled to the top with oil and I simply could not eat that. I still ended up paying because the service was great but I hope someone sees this and the next time I come, their food matches their excellent service.

The fact that I'm the first review in 3 years on yelp for this restaurant is CRIMINAL. This place…read moreis SO good. I had wanted to try egusi soup and fufu for years (thanks top chef) and I was finally able to right in the middle of cornfield, USA. I can't even begin to explain how yummy this was. I got a large serving of goat egusi and plenty of fufu for the dish. It came out hot, and fresh. I don't handle spicy things very well an I thought the meal to be absolutely tolerable. Seasoned, but not spicy. My date got the beef skewers with plantains and they were equally delicious. I can tell they make everything fresh, so it's not necessarily a quick "pop in pop out" eatery, but if you have 2 hours to slow down and eat a great meal, I highly suggest this restaurant.

This is a late post, but our experience this past summer was too good not to share. Our group of 10…read morevisited while attending a nearby retreat, and we had a wonderful experience. There was no wait, which was perfect for a group our size. The owners themselves served and cooked, providing friendly, personal service that made us feel truly welcomed. We tried a variety of African dishes, many of them new to us, and the food was plentiful and flavorful. They were happy to share their culture through the food and explain the dishes, which made the experience even more meaningful. I would definitely recommend Sepelas for authentic African cuisine and warm hospitality.
