    They had a stand at the Old Town Art Festival, so I haven't made it to the restaurant yet. The food was incredible! I had a chicken platter that had jerk chicken thighs, rice, carrots, and cabbage and a side of the veggie potato pastels. The chicken was moist and well seasoned. The rice was so good and the carrots and cabbage gave a sweet and sour mix. The pastels were potatoes with extra spices and also really good. Definitely will try more!

    Badou is the man! A group of us are planning a trip to Senegal in the fall and wanted to experience the cuisine before we went. Badou recommended an entire course for us, a mixed group of vegetarians and non-vegetarians. All the food was fantastic. We come to find out that he wasn't even planning on being open tonight, and he was so happy to make the food for us that he opened. Excellent food, excellent service. Would highly recommend.

    Food here is outstanding. The pastels, curry chicken, djolof rice, and the peanut butter stew were especially good, with the last item being my favorite. Food came out very fast and service was very friendly. Waiter helped us order since we were new to the cuisine and he picked excellent stuff. The one problem I had is the lighting. There are christmas lights on a flashing mode that were constantly strobing. I was sitting so that they were right in my line of sight and they made me very annoyed, almost got a headache. If any manager sees this, please reconsider putting flashing lights in your dining area.
