Mon invité voulait à tout prix manger africain et authentique. Nous avons pris deux plats avec accompagnement à emporter car nous avions prévu autre chose dans la soirée. Le restaurant ne paye pas de mine à première vue mais l'accueil est très correct. Nous avons été très agréablement surpris à la fois de la qualité de la nourriture, des quantités et du prix raisonnable. Je recommande donc sans aucune réserve ce restaurant authentique.

Sur recommandation d’une habituée j’ai accepté de dîner dans ce beau restaurant. J’ai dégusté un plat succulent de ndolè royal. Supplément Missolè. À côté mes voisines dégustaient des grillades j’ai goûté c’était excellent. J’ai passé un moment exceptionnel. J’ai trouvé le plat délicieux, le resto est propre , sent bon. La musique est top. Le patron est sympa et m’a gentiment salué. Bravo à lui , qui a créé un espace aussi agréable c’est tellement rare. Et la serveuse est très aimable, rien à dire. J’ai passé un excellent moment. Je recommande! Si vous recherchez un cadre agréable, propre et une cuisine riche et varié. Il faut y aller sans hésitation. Y retournerai -je ? Assurément.
