We had a group of five on a Friday night. Every single thing we ordered was absolutely delicious, and everyone was incredibly kind and helpful. We will absolutely be back. I recommend grabbing some friends and ordering as many items as you can so you can try them all. You won't be disappointed.

Best lamb in Madison (and only costs 20!!) Nice fried fish! An amazing restaurant for people who like to eat meat!

So good! The lamb was fantastic as well as the fried plantains, and the ginger tea was really good too!

I had an incredible experience at this restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious, rich flavors, authentic spices, and a great variety of options to choose.

I went there today for lunch. We started with Beef Pastel, which was very flavorful. It came with a sauce that my friend said was nice and spicy. For the main entree, I had the Palm stew with beef. The meet was fall off the bone tender. And full of flavor. It was served with Jasmine rice. My friend had the Peanut Butter stew, and she really liked it. All around great experience.

Delicious food made to order by kind chef. Had grilled lamb, chicken, fried plantains, rice and fries for a hearty meal. We’re looking forward to returning and trying more dishes.

Patience! They make all the food here to order. So it is a little bit of a wait. But it is worth it. I do wish that the portions were a little bit bigger though for the price. And my chicken was just a little dry. Everything else was amazing and I highly suggest this place for anyone that would like authentic West African food.

I will most certainly be coming back with friends and family, time and time again! What an absolutely wonderful place, the staff was so informative and friendly, the food and drinks were also so amazingly tasty. What an honor to have such a diverse staple in the Atwood neighborhood We ordered coffee, a carafe of the ginger guice, YUM, fresh salads, dressing was great! Our main entrees were a baked fish dish, it was so flaky and savory, cooked to perfection. We also ordered a lamb entree, and were so happy with it and all the sides that came with. This place is a must try!! Definitely going to be a repeat for us.
