    Chicken'N'Jollof

    Drys ass rice noooo flavor chicken is ok. This is not Jollof I wish I could get my money back and my time And to top it off there are no plantain

    Chicken'N'Jollof with rice .
    Daniel B.

    Aside from the semi-uninviting name, Weaf was tolerable for one of my first African cuisine experiences that has survived post-Covid. I ordered the chicken with Jollof rice, and the empenades. The chicken was juicy in some places, but also tough on others. The spicy aus jus was delicious, but I needed definitely more than provided. The famous jollif rice while seasoned , was over cooked . Empenadas we're just okay. Very dry. Insides too.

    Beef Pastel If you're a sauce girlie like me you're gonna be in heaven

    Wow ok so I've never had African food really so I decided to stop and try something small. I asked for the Beef Pastel but they only had tuna or veggies. The cook offered to make me fresh ones and I cannot tell you how bomb this is. Meat inside is juicy and the fried outside was crispy. Now this was hot off the press so yours may not be this good but maybe try to ask for them fresh? Didn't try anything else.

    Great food and big portions. Came with my Nigerian friend and he approved. Would recommend if you are looking for authentic West African food!

    jollof rice and chicken

    The guy who prepared the food was very friendly and we had some freshly fried plantains. It came with a small side of spicy sauce. So yummy! Then I tried the jollof rice and chicken. It was all incredibly, intensely flavorful. This isn't bland stuff! The sauce had a nice low-level heat that kept your belly warm while eating. I want to have a bottle of this sauce at home and put it on everything! I have never tried West African dishes before so I have no set idea of what it's supposed to taste like. But I did like everything I ate. Portions are decent but priced a little high. However, most places are getting pricey due to inflation so you can only do so much about it.

    Authentic West African food!! The sauce and plantains were stand out! I thought the chicken was great, the rice was not stand out but overall definitely worth checking out if you want healthy, west African food!

    I had been wanting to try African food for months due to a certain tik tok trend... the fufu with eggusi was my main target. The area it's located at is a bit lonely and the restaurant was small but they do have a foldable table placed outside and that's where we sat(boyfriend and I). I have to admit.. the taste of the fufu with eggusi was not what I was expecting. It tasted very bland to me. Not sure if I ate it wrong or if it was authentic African food made by a Latino cook. Not sure but I was sorely disappointed with that flavor. I asked my boyfriend to switch with me as he got the Java rice meal and THAT was so delicious. Seasoned perfectly and the rice texture was fire. I also tried the pineapple ginger soda and it was great! Not sure if I'll be coming back here but I enjoyed the experience.

    Extremely disappointed in this resturant. As a fellow African/ Ghanaian, I was extremely excited to see an african resturant near me. I ordered the jallof rice with chicken. The food came out within 5mins( big red flag). The rice tasted nothing like jallof rice. Instead tasted like traders joes version from a few years back. The price of the meal was expensive, and didn't match the price. Usually I try to promote african food/ restaurants, but was extremely disappointed with the food here. Would not recommend eating from this place.

    FUFU with Soup

    Amazing service. Inside is small but clean and nice paintings on the wall. Food was fun to try. My partner and I's first time trying Fufu, great experience!

    Don't waste your money. Food was dry and bland. Fish was unseasoned. Hot sauce is tomato paste. Rice is old and dry.

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.

This is not like any of the other restaurants I've visited in Berkeley or even LaBrea's Little Ethiopia. It's focused on a more luxurious experience with genuinely authentic touches. ** ELEGANTLY ETHIOPIAN ** Warm, welcoming, and elegant, the staff is highly attentive, from the ceremonial hand washing to refilling glasses, and detailed explanation of menu items & Ethiopian culture. Also, the staff gives you your space, much like you'd enjoy your meal and time in Europe. Or as a nice meal is probably honored in Ethiopia. There seems to be a lot of care put into how to enjoy a feast with proper rituals in place. Speaking of honoring, Aunt Yvette's seems to also reserve a high regard for coffee as I sneaked a peek at a Coffee Ceremony on the menu. I will have to come back and try that next time. ** THE FEAST ** When at Ethiopian, it's always about sharing a platter. So after some deliberation, me and my lunch date settled on the Vegan Combo. It has all the fun vegetable options like the Berbere Red Lentils, Cabbage & Carrots, Yellow Split Pea, and Ethiopian Potatoes. We added Chicken Tibs as our protein. However, I really wanted the Cornish Game Hen, but lost in the negotiation part so I will need to return another time to try it (along with the coffee ceremony). As you may know, there are no utensils since you eat with the Injera spongy bread and use your hands. That's why the hand washing with rose water was a nice start to our lovely brunch. We also ordered a shot each of Tej, an authentic Ethiopian honey wine. It was fizzy and had a hint of apple cider vinegar taste, but paired well with the earthy spices of our meal. To fluff up the water sitch, there was an anise, ginger, and citrus water that's like a healthy, African aqua fresca for $5. After we mopped up all the spices sauces and exotic flavors with the ever-refilled injera (spongy, Ethiopian bread) we were stuffed. It was plenty food for the two of us. ** TURN UP THE HEAT ** For fire breathing ghost chili fans and spice freaks who love testing the Scoville scale on their tongues, I highly recommend any item that has MITMITA in it. I asked for extra since I'm one of those spice junkie nut jobs who needs her capsaicin fix with certain foods. Mitmita's flavor notes don't overpower and I was able to sprinkle my meal generously with heat. **NOTE: Mitmita in the ingredients list doesn't mean it's too spicy, but if you ask for extra spicy, it'll give you a good kick in the mouth ;) Good thing there's a list of craft cocktails to squelch the heat.

I had a wonderful time and found the food delicious! Our server helped us decide what to order as we are "older" adults and cannot eat too much at one meal. They have a good assortment of drinks to choose from. I had a glass of wine. They brought us large carafes of cold water, which was great to sip in-between courses. We had the Brik, Salads, B'Stilla, Honey Lamb, Lemon Chicken, Tea and Dessert. I liked everything - but I especially loved the Honey Lamb - and I don't usually like lamb! I wish I could include pictures here, but this type of food is eaten with your hands, so it was not possible to take pictures. (There is a hand-washing ceremony before eating, and even though I am somewhat of a "germaphobe", I was very comfortable eating without utensils after handwashing.) They do include forks with the courses if you prefer. If you look at the photos of the food on their web site, they are exactly how the food looks when you order it. The service was excellent. We had a main server who brought our courses and described in detail exactly what the ingredients were. And we had secondary server who kept our water carafe filled, brought other items as needed and cleared dishes. Service was perfectly timed, and the courses were freshly prepared and at the perfect temperature. We were there on a Saturday night, so a belly dancer performed as we were finishing, which was fun. We used Uber so we didn't need parking, but they have a parking lot right off Sunset with adequate spaces for guests. Moun of Tunis has been in this location since 1977, but I never knew. Will I go back? YES! Do I recommend this place? YES!

We wanted to try one of each but we were told by our server that we can only choose one. We found it as a bummer because of course my partner and I wanted to try different things. The food was good, just wished the portions and options were more. Overall, it was still a pleasant experience. The entertainment from the belly dancers also made the night so fun and memorable.

Once you walk inside it's like being transported to Morocco. From the music to the decorations, just stunning! I am assuming the lady who waited on us is an owner along with the chef. Either way, it felt like being served by family. They were very attentive and the chef even came out to ask us a few questions and chat. He even joked that a plane would come pick us up after the meal to take us to Morocco haha! It was our first time trying Moroccan food and came from an hour away to try it and they were very happy to hear that. Now for the food, everything was delicious. We tried the Chicken Pastilla (flaky and oh so tasty! Sweet and savory). We also tried the Lamb Honey Tagine (my personal fave, also sweet and savory, full of sticky sweet apricots). It was the most tender fall off the bone meat. We also tried the Kefta tagine which was savory and a good balance for all the sweet flavors in our other dishes. The tomato flavor was rich and warm. Lastly, we tried the assorted cookies and they were all so different: powdery, nutty, sweet. Overall, a must try! They also let us know that weekend dinner service has belly dancers! We will be back for that! Bonus story: they loved my name Guadalupe (they asked our names when we entered and confirmed them at the end of our meal). It was very sweet and added to the family feel of the restaurant.
