"Goree is a spacious Senegalese restaurant on the border of Kenwood and Hyde Park, and it’s one of our favorite spots to roll up with eight people and not worry about having a reservation. Order one of their fantastic stews (our favorite is the vegetarian maffe made with tomatoes, peanut butter, and yams over rice) and entrees like the grilled red snapper or dibi chicken. The portions are so large that even if you split an entree with the group, you can plan on having leftovers. Just be prepared to argue over who gets to take them home." - adrian kane, veda kilaru, nick allen, john ringor
"Goree is a Senegalese restaurant on the border of Kenwood and Hyde Park. Order one of their fantastic stews (our favorite is the vegetarian maffe made with tomatoes, peanut butter, and yams over rice) or an entree like the grilled red snapper or dibi chicken. Almost everything on the menu is between $10-18, and the portions are so large you can plan on eating the leftovers for at least three days - the food is so good that it will stay interesting several meals in a row. Just avoid reheating any fish leftovers in the office microwave, unless you want your coworkers to hate you." - adrian kane

"Goree is a Senegalese restaurant on the border of Kenwood and Hyde Park, but the food is so good we’re not letting a technicality prevent us from including it. At lunch, you can order one of their fantastic stews (our favorite is the maffe made with lamb, peanut butter, and yucca), and their entrees (like grilled red snapper or dibi chicken) are available all day. Portions are large, so come with a group and plan on sharing everything." - adrian kane
"The underrepresented flavors of a small Senegalese island take center stage at Gorée Cuisine. Though many diners may be unfamiliar with what’s on the menu, it’s easy to appreciate the comforting plates coming out of the kitchen. Owner Adama Ba pays homage to his family’s restaurant back home in Senegal through dishes like tiebu dejun — fried fish stuffed with parsley and herbs in a tomato sauce over rice — and yassa, meat or seafood that’s marinated overnight and cooked in onions and mustard." - Ashok Selvam, Eater Staff
