“ God willing this place will be in the neighborhood for a long time Inshallah this food is amazing my God ”
“ 1010 If you are looking for authentic Senegalese cuisine this is the place to go! I ordered the Yassa Chicken with Jollof rice I actually ordered white but happy mistake. The chicken was so flavorful, juicy and delicious. I squeezed some lemon on it and that really set it off Chefs Kiss. The food is reasonably priced at 1525 a plate and only take 15min to prepare. I highly recommend everyone trying this place out. ”
“ Amazing Senegalese cuisine for which I keep coming back! Im particularly a fan of the lamb egusi, peanut butter stew, and of course fufu! ”
“ Ndindy This is one of THE best restaurants Ive ever eaten at, PERIOD. We were visiting New Orleans and we were floored as we were eating here and even after we left!!! We were greeted promptly and kindly, and when we asked for recommendations, the young man who assisted us was super kind and he helped us choose our dishes patiently since we hadnt been to a Senegalese restaurant before! So, upon his recommendation and our grumbling tummies we ordered the goat curry with white rice, jerk chicken which came with Jollof rice, two amazing hibiscus teas and one order of plantains. The goat curry was DELICIOUS!!! Since I had tried goat meat before, but I hadnt really liked the taste back then it had tasted very gamey and sort of pungent to me yet I decided to order the goat curry to challenge myself to try something completely new, and when I tried it, I was so pleasantly surprised!!! The meat was so sweet and tender, which paired so beautifully with the curry. It was perfectly seasoned, and in my experience, the dishes Ive most loved so far have had one thing in common the flavors of the dish keep developing and turning into new and even more interesting new flavors. On top of this dish being spoton with that for me, this dish is the best meal I had in New Orleans. The white rice also included some lemon slices to squeeze on top and I feel like I died and went to heaven. The jerk chicken was zesty, bright, SO flavorful and SO tender!!! The plantains were fried to perfection and were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside We could not stop eating it even though we were full! It was REALLY filling and wholesome. Yet, we didnt get bloated, we ate and had a feeling of calm that stayed with us throughout the rest of the day!! We felt so good after eating we ordered dessert on top of that, and then they just killed it with the Thiakiry As the menu described A sweet Senagalese oatmeal with sour cream and IT. WAS. SO. TASTY! I almost forgot to mention that the hibiscus teas were so delicately sweet and sour. The extraction from the hibiscus flower they made was concentrated, which ensures you get a lot of the nutrients from it, and the tea was very well balanced with the entire drink. I drink those back home as much as I can, but these had a really nice burst of pineapplelike flavors. I dont remember if it did have pineapple, but I do suggest you ask just in case you have any allergies. If youre ever anywhere near visiting New Orleans, you have to go to this restaurant. In my opinion, its important to give ourselves the opportunity to challenge ourselves, not just to try something new, but even more important to support and keep restaurants like these alive, running, and thriving. This is real and wholesome food, and the people and cuisine in this restaurant stayed with me and mine in a very positive and impactful way. If for any reason for you that doesnt happen, I believe they always work hard to become better and better. I admire them, and for me, it was nothing short of outstanding. All in all Thank you, Ndindy, for an amazing experience trying Senegalese food for the first time. I thank all of you there for being so kind, genuine, committed, serviceable and attentive. I highly recommend this restaurant as a part of discovering NOLAs many beautiful treasures. ”
“ This food was amazing I loved the flavors the fufu and egusi was great. The fried fish was delicious I will be ordering again. It it worth every penny! Also when I called the restaurant to ask questions about a dish the young woman who answered the phone was very nice. ”
“ In town for the EssenceFest and Im so glad that someone recommended this place. The food is fresh, cooked to order, and very well prepared. I could literally bathe in the oxtails and eat a million meat pies. ”
“ 10 OUT OF 10!!!!!!!! I bought the okra stew, fufu, and a pina colada non alcoholic, and it was absolutely delicious!!!!! As soon as I walked through the door I felt like I had returned HOME! Lol And I know good food when I taste it! I come from a lineage of New Orleans folks who know how to COOK!! I will definitely be back! ”
