"One of the best meals I’ve had all year! After hearing so many great things from friends, my friend and I finally tried this spot and it did not disappoint. We ordered the Honey Berbere Chicken Bites, Lamb and White Bean Hummus, and I had the Garlic Noodles with fried catfish. Everything was incredible. I also had the Sentinela Sour and it was so refreshing. I wanted to try the sweet potato churro but I was too full. I’ll definitely be back soon for dinner and brunch. Highly recommend checking it out and supporting this amazing Black owned restaurant!"

"The ambiance was intimate but lively. Great music playing in the background. The service was great- Nina was so kind and offered great suggestions. The food was robust with flavor and a generous portion. The chicken bites were crispy, a little sweet and tangy. The Jollof rice with crispy catfish was cooked to perfection. It came with black beans (delicious!) and sweet plantains. The burger was good but definitely worth skipping and trying other menu items. The house lemonade was so refreshing and not too sweet. Overall wonderful experience. Will be back!"

"We went on a Wednesday night. It wasn't busy, busy but it was still loud and seating is cramped. I thought the table lights were neat. We ordered and our food came out in less than 10 minutes. It obviously isn't made to order(probably reheated). Rootbeer short ribs were just beef that was a little dry and tough. There was no rootbeer anything. It was tasty but I was expecting a rootbeer flavor to come through. I also left most of it on my plate because it was dry and too chewy for me and what I expect from braised meat. The branzino was very charred and my aftertaste was burnt. The nucleus of the flesh was light and delicious but the outer portions were overcooked. The garlic noodles were fine but after three mouthful, I'd had enough. The broccolini was smothered in cornflakes and very oily but they were flavorful. My spicy pineapple drink needed more pineapple and definitely more spice. We were there a total of 45 minutes from start to end. We managed to box our leftovers amid the clutter of dirty plates and got our check. Card is preferred as they didn't have enough change for 100. I would go only to try their jollof to go. I hear that dish is amazing."

"Came here w/ a dinner reservation last Friday evening. Unassuming, hole-in-the-wall from the outside. They have moderate space but can feel a little too close to other patrons, however seats were comfortable w/ relatively nice ambience. Foodwise - simply delicious and flavorful. This establishment uses seasoning well and the entrees we had seemed a little sweet-forward (which I didn’t mind at all). We loved the flavor profile of the Grilled Broccolini, the Braised Short Rib had perfect texture, and the Garlic Noodles were good! Drink-wise the Sour was definitely a personal favorite, very tasteful. And the Young Fashioned had a usual kick you’d expect from that type of drink. We also enjoyed the Sweet Potato Churro - what an inventive treat! Lastly, Nita (Juanita on the receipt) our server was so lovely and personable - she made our first-time experience here that much more enjoyable. Thanks Nita - we appreciate your time and superb service! We’ll definitely try to make another reservation to try out y’all’s brunch menu. 🤤"

"The food was OK, but didn't live up to the hype surrounding this restaurant now. I had read a number of reviews touting the Jollof rice, but it didn't resemble the Jollof rice I've had on my trips to West Africa--it was dry and didn't have much flavor. The appetizers were quite good and very interesting. My wife loved the short ribs she ordered. The service was very good."
