I've been here twice and was impressed both times. The yassa fish and lamb are perfectly seasoned and succulent. Portions are large and reasonable for the price and the cashier very friendly and helpful.

We went there on a Saturday evening for dinner. We were promptly seated. The ambience was really cool. The lady there was very nice and kind enough to explain the menu. We ordered a Yassa Chicken and a Saka-Saka with a glass of cold Bissap and a glass of Gingembe. The two drinks were very tasty, potent and refreshing. They definitely didn’t cut corners in making those drinks. The Yassa Chicken was very tender, tangy and paired really well with rice. The Saka-Saka (lamb, shrimp and crab meat in cassava leaf gravy) was by far one of the most savory and well balanced dishes I have ever had. The lamb was very well cooked. The portion sizes were huge and so the cost of around 15 for dinner is well justified. We were full to the brim by the time we were done. I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to try something new. I will definitely visit this gem of a place again.
I stumbled upon this little gem when the pangs of hunger hit while out running errands. I called to make sure they allowed dining in, but was told only with reservations. So, I promptly made a reservation and told the nice lady that I was already parked outside. She chuckled and said, \well come on in\. The restaurant has a somewhat small dining area, which seemed even smaller due to table spacing. We were greeted warmly and seated immediately. The hostess was gracious, welcoming, and downright friendly. Service was a bit slow as they seemed short-staffed, but that is my only negative comment about the place. After perusing the menu for a while, (so many tempting options), we made our selections and ordered. It took a while to get the food, but upon it's arrival, the wait seemed more that worth it. Clearly this meal was freshly prepared when ordered. The flavors and aromas of the dishes we chose were absolutely amazing. I have never been to West Africa, and cannot speak with authority on what food from that region tastes like, but if this is authentic West African cuisine, I'm now a huge fan. I highly recommend giving them a try. Just make sure to have a reservation. Even if you call it in while parked out front.
Delicious Senegalese jollof rice and halal lamb dish. Friendly and loving family business. Wonderful experience of the true hospitality and generosity of Southside Chicago. Glad I listened to The Autobiography as told by Vic Mensa.
