Service was a little slow, but friendly. Food was well-seasoned, not too salty. Ginger juice is spicy, but can be moderated with water without losing its flavor. Recommend the kale salad and the fried branzino with plantains.

Best find off of 125th! Amazing food for everyone (from vegan to meat eater). Perfect blend of West African Jolof and other favorites with salads and espresso drinks. We had a mixed generation table from 80 to 8 and everyone loved their food and we had time to talk and hang without feeling rushed. Highly recommend to everyone.

Great food. This is my second time there and it was still so good. I got the Dibi lamb which is well seasoned and cooked to perfection. The jollof rice and fried plantains were also delicious.

We really enjoyed the food and the vibe here. The band was a little loud, but still, it's great to hear live music!

I would not consider this place a restaurant....more of a diner. The food was good. The homemade drinks were fantastic. I would come there for take out, but not for atmosphere.
