Really good spices and marinades used at this Senegalese restaurant! Be aware: Apparently, not everything on their menu is always available. At our group dinner, the lady taking our orders first pointed out a few dishes (i.e., a few stew dishes, whole chicken, etc) they did not have. Also, their lunch fixings change every day. The back side of the menu shows it, but you'd be best to ask and make sure.
There is several tables for dining in. Also a large open area by the register - they have a healthy take-out business going, so the waiting space is big.
I picked the Dibbi Lamb. From pics I've seen, the portions looked quite big, so I went ahead and got it in to-go containers. Good choice. The meat was very tender and flavorful. The sautéed onions were interesting - I loved the marinade the white slices were served in. The dish comes with one side, so I went with their fried sweet plantains (a personal fav, in general!). PS, that was a HUGE portion of plantains. And it was meant as the SIDE DISH!
Also got their pineapple couscous appetizer. Really, the app is more like a dessert. Rich pineapple taste with the cream that's mixed into the dish. If you love pineapple, this dish has your name on it.
The service was good, definitely a more relaxed vibe. Heads-up: If dinning in, when your done, head up to the counter to pay at the register. I'm imagining they have a great, lively crowd on the weekend nights, with the fantastic music that was playing while we ate.
