About

This small restaurant pairs West African and Caribbean flavors with a fully vegan menu, including peanut-sauce attiéké, yassa tofu, plantain starters, and burgers. Low lighting, records and island-map decor, and a relaxed sound level make it a comfortable dinner spot; reviews praise the friendly service, though a few diners found some dishes inconsistent for the price.
