| - To say I loved this place is an understatement. When this place originally opened I was so excited to give it a try, mainly because my grandmother is from Cameroon and my grandfather from Senegal. So I grew up on some good african food with southern twists. So it's been over 10 years since I've had African food. Not to mention, we saw a Groupon for this place so we scooped that and made our way down on Sunday. We booked reservations through yelp and found it easy, no hiccups.
We were seated right by the window and I loved it, people watching is always fun. Our server Savannah, was extremely friendly! I loved the service and if your in a rush to eat and leave, this is not the place for you. We ordered the Kele Wele, beef suya with jollof rice, West african Red stew with chicken and to end the night off with some good ol' puff puffs. The food was incredibly flavourful. Each bite brought me back home with my grandfather in the kitchen. It was so delicious although I wish it was a little more spicy. I asked for medium and it barely had any spice. Next time, I'll order the Kiza fire sauce to spice some things up. My husband loved his dish, the beef suya was good and the jollof was good. I ended up stealing some bites and it was pretty delicious. Again, reminded me of some back home goodness. We had so much food at the end of the night, we basically had to roll ourselves back to the car.
There was a bonus for our visit, they were on the second week of doing Afrofest auditions. So we got to take in some free entertainment and it just topped the night off. Some alright music but the one girl, Gabrielle I believe? Had amazing spoken word! Heads up as well, the second floor turns into a lounge for the people that want to live it up a bit more. If your still reading this review and undecided, I'm letting you know- try this place, right now.
