Oh my Gosh. What a wonderful surprise. I went there not expecting anything fantastic to happen. Not good, not bad. Just expected to get a meal after a long, hard, day at work. Well Surpise, something fantastic did happen. The food was delicious. I have to put this on my list of places to revisit. I
Ordered their Thiebou Djen Jolof (fish with rice) and chicken pastels and loved both dishes! The rice especially stood out as having a full flavor. Can't wait to go back and try more!

Favorite food in Chicago after 11 years in the City. The owner is the nicest man you'll meet, and cooks the best peanut butter curry you could dream of. Definitely get the Pastels and ginger juice!!
I ordered the vegetarian national Senegalese fish with pastels.. first time trying Senegalese cuisine.. loved it!! The spice, the caramelized onions and the pastels with the sauce.. wow!! Friendly and talented owner/chef.. So glad I stopped by.
Wow. This place was great! They recommended popular dishes for us and they were all unique and amazing. I encourage you to share and try everything!
Paula was so kind to us! This was our first time and she recommended the dishes for us to try - everything was so tasty! The mafe was especially delicious
The flavor of everything was perfect and the spice was just right. I had the Yassa Chicken and tried the Pastels. I enjoyed every bite. The staff was very friendly and attentive. I look forward to coming back with all my friends!
One of my favorite restaurants in the city! Extremely flavorful with lots of good vegetarian options (I especially like the mafe & yassa dishes). Reminds me a lot of places I used to eat at in the Château Rouge neighborhood of Paris.
