Description

We are a West African restaurant specializing in Senegalese cuisine. Serving the community for almost 20 years, we have transformed our restaurant into a Taste of Senegal. Customers join us at our table as family and feast on our traditional dishes. Our most popular dish is the Senegalese national dish called Tiebou Jeun - baked fish, jollof rice, and veggies. Our jollof rice stands out with its broken rice, jasmine flavor, and cooked into a deep tomato sauce. Our cooks are passionate about cooking, making our dishes unique. Everything is made daily upon request and with love, including our homemade juices and pastries.

Very nice staff, loved the décor and it was a clean environment. I ordered ginger tea and it was so fresh...straight from the root. Then I had the lamb yassa. So flavorful, fresh and tender. It was amazing. I'll definitely be back.

This was one of the restaurants that I missed the most when I moved from New York two days before the 911 attacks. Tiebou djieun I just butchered the spelling, but get the fish with Joloff rice and vegetables. I would travel back to Brooklyn to visit this spot.

First time trying Senegalese food, and WOW, I am so excited to continue ordering more from what this restaurant has to offer! Today I tried the Mafe Yapp with jollof rice. Perfectly cooked rice, tender lamb, deeply rich flavors in both. Price per person: $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
