On an errand in Seabrook and looking for a place for a late lunch. I'd never had African food before but the reviews were good... so figured worth a try. I'm glad we did; it was outstanding. Ordered the Kelewele (spicy plantains) for appetizer and beef andchicken for entrees. Absolute best plantains I've had; cooked and seasoned to perfection with peanuts as accompaniment. Wonderful combination. Generous servings for both the beef and chicken entrees; served with delicious sauce and rice andplantains. Overall terrific experience; felt like a guest in owner's home. Worth the trip even if coming from DC. Lucky find. Read more

First time visit tonight: great West African food, friendly vibe, and really nice chef/owner! For our large group he recommended... a mixed selection starting with Suya (beef) and seasoned fried chicken -- both excellent, served with lightly pickled onions.Then two gorgeous snappers, slashed and seasoned and a rich stew of lamb, tripe, and beef in a tasty sauce that went well withthe rice and other things. Lovely plantains and an attractive mango/ginger drink. The chef made us feel at home, and made surewe were happy. Thanks! Read more
