SAINT LOUIS SAVEURS

This was my first time trying African food and it was very good. A little spicy, but it's that good spicy that keeps you taking one bite after another. I will definitely go back and try another dish. This is a must try if you never experienced African cuisine and they have American dishes as well.

The best African food! This is senegalese food, the lovely food of Senegal! I am never disappointed. The people are lovely here and are happy to tell you about their food. I recommend teaching yourself about their menu before ordering so you dont miss out on anything especially delicious. A favorite of mine is their Okra Soup with foufou (pounded, fermented yam and plantain). Be sure to eat the fufu with your hands and dip it in the soup! I also love their Bissap juice which is like a sweet, hibiscus-mint juice. I like their okra soup a bit more than Ghanaian okra soup i found out- they cook theirs through, while Ghanain okra soup its more slimy. Definitely worth the try, and if you like spicy, be sure to ask for a side of hot sauce to dump in your soup! I also tried their Fataya which is also good, flavorful, and with perfect texture. I sat in the restaurant and enjoyed myself very much! It is small though, so maybe not best for a very large party.

I had the djollof rice. Chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender. The rice was great (not mushy or too oily). Definitely get the hot sauce if you like spicy, or even if you don't--it's fruity, acidic, complements the dish well, and isn't too spicy to the point where you can't taste anything else (ymmv). Definitely recommend.

I eat this at least once a week, this has become one of my favorite places in Greensboro to eat. The staff is friendly and the food is always fresh. My only complaint is I wish they put more meat in the soup. Usually it’s one chicken wing per soup.

AMAZING QUICK AND VERY PERSONABLE AND REASONABLY PRICED!!! I had questions lol New African food place, the family helped and was very patient and passionate about dishes! I can't honestly even say what I ordered but went off their suggestion and AMAZING! The picture of fries looked so good so made it into a combo and these fries are also SOOOOO FRESH AND GOOD!! Like other reviewers I'll def be back to try other dishes

The velvety smooth fufu, silky texture from the okra and rich earthy flavor from the palm oil, was a delight. Okra soup and fufu is what’s pictured. Thankful we have a new restaurant in Greensboro which happens to be cuisine from Africa. Long overdue. Can’t wait to go back and try more. Picture doesn’t do Justice.

This was the best cheesesteak and Gyro wrap in town. The St Louis Special Burger is very special just order it you will thank me later.

I tried something new today. Thursday only special. Senegalese diolof rice with fish. Very good. Never had African food before. It was worth it.

Y'all, this is one of those cases where a place that I JUST ate at was impressive enough to jump the entire line of places I still need to review, because you need to know about it. These lovely folks from Senegal would love your business, and to cook you up a fresh, hearty, and likely very original meal (to you, most likely). It is the first of it's kind that I'm aware of in the Triad, and while I don't have a baseline to compare it too, I would say I really enjoyed my first foray into Senegalian cuisine! This place would be considered about 99% take out only. There is a small table and lunch counter where one could feasibly enjoy their food there. Everything will be served package to go, no matter your preference. There are bottled drinks available, and if their selection doesn't fancy you, they are attached to a gas station convenience store. I think this used to be a DQ or DD, there is an archway that used to give it a direct connection, but that remains shut now. I walked in and asked the owner to recommend something to me, and that I am an adventurous eater, so would love something native to their origins. She immediately started talking about their African dishes, and I was most intrigued by "Mafe" a stew of beef, cabbage, sweet potato, carrot, and... peanut butter. This wasn't my first peanut butter on beef trip. I had PB&J on a burger recently, and loved it! This was served like a very thick curry, with a large side of jasmine rice. The stew was hearty, even fresh from a workout, I only ate half. The leftovers were brilliant heated up next day. The flavors were divine. Tender veggies and beef, not overly rich but very present peanut taste. I also got a couple appetizers to share with my wife. They have their version of an empanada or samosa there, I think called Fataya. DO. NOT. MISS. THESE. The exterior was buttery, crispy, almost fried wonton like but flaky. The inside, rich in spice and flavor. Paired with their sauce, it was magic. I could eat then en masse. I also got us some egg rolls, made in their style. They have veggies and vermicelli noodle inside. Very good. But that Fataya STOLE the show. WOW. Warning. Their hot sauce is literally hot pepper paste. It is super flavorful, but it WILL burn you out. Tread carefully with your first dip. Overall. I was super impressed. The owners are charismatic and kind. I love their beautiful accent. They are making incredible food. I want to try a sandwich, but it will be hard to stop me from ordering Fataya and a Senegalese dish from now on! Support local and give these folks your business!

A grab and go Senegalese restaurant that is at a gas station that I think replaced a Dunkin' Donuts that used to be there (the "D" shaped door handles are still there). Suspicious? Maybe. Worth trying? Absolutely! I got the Yassa and Bissap juice and both were great! The Yassa is a chicken and rice dish that is seasoned very well with respect to both the chicken thigh and the rice! The onion sauce is very savory and enhances the combination of the 2! Slightly expensive at $18 but it was very good! The bissap juice was also a tad expensive at ~$5 but tasted pretty good! Basically taste like a sweetened hibiscus tea. While dingy appearing when you walk in, definitely think this is a hidden gem worth at least trying! Only other problem I had with this place was that I ordered online, arrived at the right time, and still had to wait 25 minutes for my food... and the online ordering menu doesn't have all the items that are available.

A coworker suggested this place to me. I ordered the cheesesteak plate that goes with fries. The amount of food is worth the price. But the sub had too many onions for my taste, I ate the other half of the sub before taking the picture. I recommend :)

I really wanted to like this restaurant but I can't honestly give it a recommendation from my repeated experiences. On my last, and final, visit I ordered three menu items. Vermicelli, Mafa, and two orders of fataya (3 pieces per order). I was astonished by the prices that have all gone up on everything. Vermicelli $19, Mafa $15, and the fataya was 6.50. I waited patiently as the service once again took a long 35 minutes to make my order which seems to be their average food time. What struck me as odd was in the middle of waiting another customer went to pay for their order but complained "this price is too high" so the cashier responded "that's fine, what do you want to pay? I'll change it" agreeing to a discount. It felt to me they acknowledge how unreasonably high their prices were and changed them preferentially. Once I got my food home to eat I was beyond disappointed. The flavors I once enjoyed from them had changed to an overwhelmingly sweet note in every dish. I'll start with the Vermicelli. It was a travesty. My meat was 60% bones while already being a small portion. The sweetness in the onion sauce and raisins in the vermicelli over powered a lot of subtle flavors which made the dish way too sweet for my liking. Not a good dish and not worth 19 dollars. The Mafa was good with the main flavors of sweet potatoes and peanut butter paired to the meat. After the fourth bite though I found it hard to finish. It lacked an equal portion of meat so the dish was mainly bite after bite of just sweet potato overwhelming everything else. Felt more like eating a thanksgiving desert. The Fataya was so different from the samosa/empanada I had originally. No choice between chicken or beef either. It's filling had a sweet vinaigrette taste with no spiciness. Not very tasty. As friendly as the staff is the quality of their food has not matched their increased prices. I wish them the best as I bid a farewell to Saint Louis Saveurs.

Great food! Flavors were delicious and well blended. The people working, I'm assuming the owners, were so friendly and helpful. I wasn't sure about what to order. What the man suggested was so good! We will be back!

Amazing African food! This is senegalese food, the lovely food of SeneFatayagal! I am never disappointed. The people are lovely here and are happy to tell you about their food. I recommend teaching yourself about their menu before ordering so you dont miss out on anything especially delicious.

Great food! The ginger juice is delicious. I also had the okra soup with fufu, and it was very tasty!!

Yummy! Quick! Tad bit spicy like I like ! Very professional! 10/10 recommend . Will be ordering again

I've eaten here several times and it's been great every time. Definitely recommend checking it out.

Great family business and great food! I enjoyed the Jollof rice and Yassa. Ask for the hot sauce it was the way to go!

An interesting new restaurant on the corner of Wendover and Cridland Avenue serving Senegalese cuisine. Their standard menu is salads, sandwiches and wraps but they also have specials and that is what I'd recommend. I had the chicken and rice that was served with a cucumber salad and a warm onion compote, for lack of a better description. As a tater, I also got a small side of chicken with rice that reminded me a bit of a fried rice. The chicken on my main meal was a bit dry but was quite flavorful and well spiced. I also got a side of hot sauce and it was excellent with the c. The rice was fine on its own but excellent when I mixed in the onion compote. I'd get this again. The owner was cooking but came out and was delightful...her daughter was working the counter. It is a family run business and they are working hard to create a place to enjoy delicious, authentic Senegalese food. I wish them well.

Best takeout West African food in the 336 Area. I love their okra and homemade juices.

Salads are a bit expensive so I settled for the chicken wrap which was excellent. Love the sauce! Nice staff. Located at corner of Cridland & West Wendover. Best to order at least 15-minutes before you pickup. Very limited seating.

Amazing food, I would eat here regularly if I was closer. The food is authentic and taste great.

This makes my 3rd time at this restaurant and I was so elated at the service that I received. Also, the food was very good and hot. The atmosphere is phenomenal friendly employees. I will definitely eat there again.

Kids on the phone. Kids on the register. Unprofessional. Food is good though. Nothing more nothing less.

Great food and and even better service. Bator, an amazing host and owner, really knows how to welcome customers. Based on her recommendation I ordered a traditional Senegalese dish that did not disappoint. I am now definitely a fan of Senegalese food and even more so of Saint Louis Saveurs in Greensboro. Also, do not the fact that the restaurant is next door to the Circle K detract from the food. The food and service far exceed what you may expect from such a restaurant. I'll be back! Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Be sure to try the homemade Hibiscus-mint beverage. It has a unique but refreshing taste. Note: I'll (or another reviewer) add a menu the next time I go, since there are many more options than that shown on Yelp.

Great portions and flavour. We had the empanadas, vermicelli and chicken combo ,gyro and fried rice. We will definitely order again. Try the ginger juice -it was amazing!

Everything was perfect. I was highly impressed the wrap & chicken and rice was absolutely delicious. I ordered the ginger drinks and absolutely amazing. Food was fresh and seasoned to perfection. I will be returning.

the food was .. nasty. i was very disappointed, i was so happy to get some fufu and egusi soup but its absolutely disgusting. The okra over powered everything and made it disgusting.

The food was plentiful and great quality! I had a conversation with Vonda who was very bright and outgoing. Absolutely loved the food!

Amazing ! I love the fresh hot sauce and the hibiscus drink. Great lunch. The owner is so friendly !

Wonderful new place...great food with friendly and helpful staff. We ordered some of rice dishes, samosas, and sandwiches. All were delicious, especially the rice dishes. The ginger drinks were refreshing too. Highly recommend SL Saveurs. We will be back.

Excellent, excellent food. I highly recommend this place - amazing fresh, delicious, phenomenal food.

We just ordered dinner last night from Saint Louis Saveurs and it was AMAZING!! I lived in Dakar for a year and Senegalese food is still my happy place! While the menu doesn't list all the incredible options, ask what they have each night and you will be not be disappointed! We thoroughly enjoyed the yassa and maafe, even my kids devoured it! We can't wait to order again soon!
