Made me want to visit Africa immediately. Everything we ate was so flavorful and delicious. I had to get a to-go plate because I couldn't dare waste such amazing food. This place definitely gets a 10 out of 10. If you are looking for an amazing dining experience please stop by.

Tried this place before date night on a Saturday. They suggested we make reservations, but once we…read morearrived, I could tell that was for image purposes, as they were barely at 30% capacity. Before I continue, this place is nice and has a LOT of potential. There's a really good chance I would come back here. It is tapas (table plate-sharing based), and the food comes out as it is cooked, not in appetizer-then-entree order. With that being said... Our experience: Saturday evening, 6:30pm reservations Our order: Banana Mojito, a spritzer of some kind, the Braised Goat, Dovi Cauliflower, Magwinyas & Ice Cream. The food: The goat came out first, with jollof rice and a few fried plantains on the side. The goat sauce was a tad bit spicy, and the goat meat was good, but you had to work it like neckbones (maybe I'm unfamiliar with navigating goat meat): It was tasty. The plantains were the best I have EVER had, even from the Caribbean. The cauliflower came out next, sitting in a coconut-peanut sauce. It was a rather large head and it was good. If you do not like peanut sauce, I would say not to get it. Its really what gave the grilled cauliflower any flavor. Because I like bread, I opted to get the magwinyas (the waitress said that we'd get two, gesturing they'd be about the size of an airpod case), but when they arrived, they were about the size of a gobstopper. THEY ARE NOT LIKE ANY PHOTOS ONLINE. The best part is that they were warm and the homemade ice cream was Oreo lemon - we noticed it was the vanilla Oreo, not the chocolate. The ice cream was rich, and although it was pretty good, we couldn't finish it. For the price, the serving sizes were rather small, which doesn't explain why we were full at the end. The pros: nice ambiance, although the place is VERY intimate: tables are kinda small, and somewhat close together. The food came out surprisingly fast (not just ours, but for the parties seated around us as well). I understand the bathroom is large and VERY well decorated and comfortable. It is for ONE PERSON at a time though. The cons: The service was definitely beneath the establishment. While the waitress knew the menu, her presentation was lacking (dirty and soiled apron - from way before that day), and she was lackluster in her service. The water is pre-poured into carafes, and was almost warm. We asked for ice and never got it. The waitress did not identify the items on the menu that were not available, we were only told after we expressed interest. MAYBE ONCE did she come to check on us, even though they only had 4-5 tables seated. AND, when she wasn't waiting tables, she could be seen eating directly in the window the kitchen door. Tips: Park in the South Lot, its literally steps away. If you go here on a Durham Bulls game day, let the parking attendants know you're parking for dining and they will allow you to park for free. You can also park for free in the North Lot: its an easy 5 min walk through the Tobacco Campus. When I walk into a restaurant, the ambiance and the menu (prices) set my expectations. While I understand everything has gotten more expensive lately, I feel like this place is a little overrated and overpriced. IF and when I do return, I'll try the chicken wings and sausage rolls.

I was in the mood for oxtails on a week night after the snow in Raleigh. Placed that were open late…read moreand considering the weather were far and few between but Hady's was open. We made the trek from the north side of town over and it was worth it. The place is immaculately clean and the menu is an extensive list of cuisine from all over the world. From Jamaica to Ghana and place in between. I know this could be a difficult balance to strike, but it was done well. I ordered the oxtails with rice and peace and plantains. The order was a nice size but I do feel the oxtails portion could have been bigger. Lots of sauce but not a lot of meat. The seasoning on it was very well done. Spicy but not too spicy. Well balanced. I enjoyed it along with my well portioned sides. The person with me got jollof rice and chicken. They said the rice was good and the grilled onion on top of the chicken was perfect. The chicken wasn't to their personal taste but looked well portioned and prepared. They also had a variety of bottled drinks to choose from like mango and hibiscus drinks. I would go back.

The menu is simple and straightforward, making it easy to order a few favorites. You can't go wrong with the Jollof rice served with meat and plantains. it's a must-try.

While not every menu item may be available, you're sure to find your favorite. I grabbed my meal and enjoyed it in the seating area. A little moment of a wonderfully satisfying experience. Kudos to the chef! I definitely be back for more.

I had never tried Senegalese food before, but I saw lots of options that looked great on the menu. I ended up choosing the Chicken Yassa, which is marinated, roasted chicken legs over a bed of rice, served with plantains and mixed vegetables. The chicken was so super tender and flavorful, and went really great with the vegetables, which had just a little spice. They also have some really tasty juice and drink options. I really liked the juice I tried, made from the baobab tree. It was creamy and had a great sweet flavor. The owner was very nice and helpful as I decided what to get. Definitely check this place out (and also the other vendors in Blue Dogwood). This is a really great way to get some delicious global cuisine while supporting local restaurants close to Franklin St. (as a side note, it has it's own parking lot too, so you don't have to pay or search for parking along Franklin St. Always a good thing! They also have a really nice patio area).

When I arrived had to wait about 10mins, not bad. Great decor and it's very spacious with lots of seating. The Okra soup with goat and fufu and 2 Oxtail patties. The Okra soup was really good, I like it spicy so added some of the pepper sauce I was offered. Different cultures makes fufu and tis was the first time having the African version, it was good. Oxtail Patties was the star, really flavorful and has a nice crisp, I also added a bit of the pepper sauce...delicious. A bit on the pricey side so if you're looking for something economical this is not it. I enjoyed the meal and it was enough to share with a 2nd person if needed, if you're doing that though I would suggest adding another fufu.
