How Black Parisian Chefs Serving Soul Food Are Exploring ‘Afropean’ Cuisine | Eater

"Born from popular soul‑food brunches and film nights, this restaurant offers a highly themed cultural experience packed with African‑American memorabilia and music alongside a menu centered on fried chicken and waffles (the chicken here is more thickly breaded; the waffles slightly sweet and airy). Offerings include a cheddar‑and‑béchamel macaroni and cheese, a “Vegan & Love” plate with roasted peppers and sweet potato croquettes in green coconut curry, Jamaican jerk chicken, sides such as red beans and rice, sweet potato purée, and flash‑fried plantains with a garlicky, vinegary spicy mayo. Signature items include a large “Mama’s Club Waffle” sandwich (fried chicken, melted cheddar, red onion, cornichons, sweet‑tangy sauce) and a buttery brioche caramel pain perdu for dessert. The owners frame the place as both an entry point to soul food and an affirmation of Black culture, and it has attracted notable delivery orders from visiting artists." - Alexander Hurst

The food was excellent. Really tasty and a full plate. I would highly recommend this place. I went for their brunch menu. Reservation is necessary as it's very popular.

Everything was perfect! I was blown away by the quality, quantity and level of seasoning. My friends and I had reservations for 7, we were the first to arrive for their dinner service. The Mac and cheese was ‘sold out’ which we weren’t surprised based on the previous pictures of it (being sarcastic). The drinks were top notch, we all enjoyed our drinks. I ordered the rum punch which was surprisingly small but it was very strong which I liked, so the size is definitely appropriate for the strength. The chicken was hot fresh and crunchy but very juicy inside, I ordered a side of beans with rice and French fries. I’m not a rice person but this rice was extremely flavorful and delicious as was the French fries. Zero complaints, my total (I had two rum punches) came out to just 32 euro- an excellent value. The staff was very friendly and the service was fast. The place filled up quick. My friends also ordered dessert the sweet potato pie- they liked that as well but it is served hot. Overall, I highly recommend. The atmosphere is top notch, great music as well (even without the DJ at that time) we were singing, dancing in our seats and reminiscing as we heard some of her classic hip hop music that we grew up on.

Outstanding Service from Leah! Leah was amazing—despite being the only one working during a busy time, she stayed friendly, efficient, and attentive. She made sure everyone was taken care of with a smile. Huge thanks for the excellent service!

I found out about this place on Instagram. We really enjoyed it. Very small, highly recommend making reservations. Not sure if this is all the time, but the day we went they were only taking cash, good thing I had Euros

My husband and I went for brunch last Sunday and it was exceptional. The food was really good, the service professional and the vibe top notch. Enjoying a good quality and consistent meal at affordable prices while listening to to R&B classics - what more could you want? We will definitely come back here sometime soon.

The food was delicious, prices were ok - not too high not too low. The serving size was pretty good and I quite liked the simple, to the point menu so it didn’t take us long to select. Service was fine too! However the location can be a bit of a bummer as the alley seems a bit shady. And it was so hot inside, no ventilation - I don’t think they had any windows open. And because of that it was super noisy too because it was cramped and enclosed.

Located on a side street, it is very easy to miss this spot. Once inside, we were greeted by a very friendly lady. The atmosphere and decor is warm. They played 90s R & B. Our food came out quickly. Each entree was seasoned very, very well...not exactly soul food but taste great. The sweet potatoes, beans and rice as well as the slaw were good as well. The chicken taste good, however, it does have a thick breading. They only offer dark meat options.

Great food, good service. Vegetarian/Vegan options lacking, but did you expect? Chicken was well seasoned and tender. Portion size was decent for the price. Still, not a place to visit if you're looking to save money. Great place, would recommend.
