Everything is amazing. The food is highly recommended. The service is impeccable if you want to have a nice night! The decoration and music is unique! Fist time in Chicago and love this place!

We tried this spot for the first time tonight and quickly added it to one of our favorite places. Plus, the chicken goat dishes, and the beef samosas were halal! The ambiance was welcoming with comfortable chairs, fine dining white table cloth, friendly staff, and a knowledgeable chef/owner! We even got to talk to the owner afterward and got recommendations of what to order on our next visit (the peanut chicken). The food was delicious and unique. We had the beef/potato stuffed samosas, the Goat Stew with Okapi Rice, the grilled whole fish (Branzino) with a side of Kwanga, and the beignets with ice cream for dessert. The Kwanga is a starchy cassava that itself doesn't have much taste, but when eaten with the grilled fish or the Goat Stew, was delicious! Overall, it was an amazing experience, and we're already excited about coming back to try more!

We ordered the Family Reunion platter and Branzino fish. We are used to Indian food and found this cuisine delish!!!! So glad we checked it out. And it is halal, too!! Dietary restrictions: Halal menu! Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $20–30
