They are cooking delicious food. I have never been to any African restaurant where the food was cooked quickly. The peanut stew and fufu was plentiful and made me smile. My sons and mother also enjoyed the entrées they selected. I forgot what they ate. My sons have been here with their father once and were excited to return. The owner and staff were tremendously kind and greeted us with warm smiles. I must add, it is a bit pricey. I don't care though because we are supporting a Black-owned and operated business that provides good service and products. That's what's important. I am so glad this restaurant is in Southeast Raleigh.

I've been seeing African food content on TikTok lately, especially egusi soup and fufu. I really…read morewanted to try both, and jollof rice also. I ordered takeout from Elle Et Moi, which was chicken egusi, yam fufu, and jollof rice. It came as a combo. The egusi was delicious, absolute perfection. Slighly spicy and very generous with the chicken. I didn't know what to expect it to taste like, but it far exceeded my expections. The portion was generous. The jollof rice was very tasty. A bit of a kick and seasoned very well. I really enjoyed it. The only thing I didn't like was the fufu. I wanted to like it, but the texture was off. It didn't pinch off and roll around in my fingers like I've seen, where I make the little indentation to scoop up the soup. It was kind of dry and crumbly. Maybe it was warmed for too long and overcooked or something. I'll try again next time, and maybe try the plaintain version next. I'll definitely be back and look forward to trying other dishes!

Staff wasn't friendly. He only pointed to the to go section when I came to pick up my order (this…read morewas my first time here). I got the suya appetizer, which wasn't as spicy as I prefer and the meat was tough, and the kids chicken jollof rice (the chicken was so flavorless and dry) but the rice had a good smokey flavor. Unfortunately, I won't be returning. The owner responded to this review. They did not greet me. To just point to an area is rude when I say I'm here to pick up an order. I would suggest that you all change this approach. I was excited to try the food based off of other reviews. Attached is a picture of the message that I received from them which confirms that they barely exchanged words (which is in fact rude for an establishment to do). I was not seeking a full conversation but a simple, polite sentence would have sufficed.

Such a gem! I loved having cuisine I've never had before…read more I made a reservation, but when I arrived, i realized there would of been availability without reservation. They had my table ready and were very warm in their welcome. I hadnt had food like this before and the staff was kind in taking time to explain the dishes and make recommendations. I have the dova rice and pili piri chicken wings. The wings were spicy, nutty, juicy. So delicious! The rice dish went so well with the chicken. It had peanuts in it and the texture of the rice was so unique. It was a match made in heaven. The ambiance is so elegant and calming. I'm glad i was able to come in casual attire and not feel out of place. It was nice to see people outside the restaurant peacefully staring at the waterfalls. I'm so glad i got to try this restaurant during my trip in Durham I was so memorable.

Place has good ambience and nice feel to it. Service was average…read more It is a tapas kind restaurant so service is different than regular places. Food is served as it is cooked. We made reservations for four and it was easy. Though when we reached it was not busy at all Unfortunately the two tapas that we wanted to order were not available may be because we were there around 7, but that is not a justification because our choices got very limited Cauliflower was mediocre with a large floret on the top of peanut/coconut sauce, and vegan crab cake was average with a peri peri kinda sauce at bottom, but corn was really good though I had to use my hands to eat because cob was attached. Goat was good with tomato based curry and have bits in the curry and pieces as well but the qty of pieces was too less, chicken wings are extremely good, they melt in your mouth..mocktails were yummy but I found the quantity very less with lot of ice in the glass... my husband enjoyed his old fashion tamarind drink with bourbon, though we could not taste the tanginess of tamarind... water was at room temperature ...overall a ok place for a relaxing dinner but not compelling enough for me to drive again 40 minutes. Place definitely felt overpriced for the amount of food ...

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.
