"Hearty West African bowls await in a bright, colorfully decorated living room that celebrates West African art and aesthetics; the Motherland (steamed rice, curry, yaji-spiced vegetables, sweet plantains) is warmly spiced and ultra filling, the Trad packs jollof-style jambalaya with halal chicken and more yaji-spiced veggies and stewed plantains, and the plantains appetizer is almost impossible to pass up; cap it off with a classic cocktail or a refresher like the Cape Town Cooler (guava, lemon, grapefruit, sparkling water) if you’re skipping alcohol." - Lane Gillespie
