Enjoyed the food but service left a lot to be desired. One of your service staff speaks like a whiny 14 year-old, while one other staff member initially turned down my request to be placed somewhere where I wouldn't have to squeeze through a narrow gap between two occupied tables with my heavy backpack. the halwa tasted strangely savoury - is it supposed to be that way? why are your non alcoholic drinks not on the menu?

Food and the place was amazing but the service was pretty bad. We were a big table and kept ordering more food because we didn’t know the portion size and they weren’t particularly nice or helpful.

Cosy ambience. Could tell a lot of effort went into the deco. Food price on the higher price but quite tasty. Was expecting more variety from around Africa like Ethiopian cuisine. Cocktails are the highlights, they were tasteful and unique.

We were pleasantly surprised by the amazing ambience, coupled with fanstasic service. The food in itself deserves top ratings. We ordered the Caribbean Goat Curry and Smoked Cassava Leaf Chicken Thigh dish. Both had a lovely kick to them - my hubby and I are both lovers of spicy food. The ox tongue starter was the best dish of the night! We tried their desserts - carrot cake (one of the best) and nakupenda (deep fried donut with soft serve ice cream sitting atop) and they were mouthwateringly good. We will DEFINITELY return. Special mention to Jonathan, who took care of us. Very charming indeed!

We ordered the fried plaintain and a few of the meat curries for dinner which were all great! The drinks were also very tasty. The cauliflower salad was a bit meh, as was the service. They could definitely be friendlier. One of the waiters brought someone else’s dish to our table and when we told him it wasn’t for us he just rolled his eyes and walked off. If not for the lukewarm service I’d have given it full stars. Kudos to the chefs and bar though!

Cool decorations, excellent service at this very unique café. I have been there for both brunch and dinner, and definitely will return for the brunch. Dinner options are plenty, but not very vegetarian friendly. Everything is very well prepared, beautifully presented and I can't stop saying: service is very good.
