There was a lot to enjoy. The food is always fantastic. However, the service used to be quite slow. Fortunately, they have made significant improvements in that area. I have updated my rating to 5 stars.
However, I’m not particularly fond of atiéké; it has a somewhat sour taste that didn’t sit well with my palate. In the end, I prepared the rice I had purchased earlier. It was Sada brand rice from Mali, known for its special fragrance. The grains were slim and sticky, which I enjoyed. Overall, I was satisfied with my meal. This place also offers a variety of African goods, including cosmetics, fish, and frozen meats like beef tripe and oxtail.
