Sweet Africa - Lille

While visiting my son who is a student at Univ of Lille 3, the 2 of us decided to break the endless glutinous cycle of eating cuisine française and get something totally different. Not only was this totally different, but it was the best meal of my 2 week Paris-Lille visit. The Mafe' Poulet is one of the best chicken dishes I have ever eaten.

Well i said on the 6th of Jan i would come back n so i did with my Freinds who were visiting from Myanmar... the absolutely loved the food and flavors... i has the same food as last time and the quality was the same. I wanted to try the signature dish called thieboudienne rouge but they said u need to order it a day earlier so they prepare as most people dont order it while in reality its the house special. So i will need to go there 1 more time atleast...

We went there with our office group. the staff was amazing and the food and drinks were out of this world. the names were bonkers and the food was super amazing. i am visiting this place again for sure.

The smoked version of the chicken mafé (polet with peanut sauce) at sweet africa is by far the best I had, and the lamb pins of my friend were no less delicious. We both added the hot homemade sauce provided by our elegant and friendly server, but those who avoid too many spices will find something to enjoy without. We shared the accras (little doughnuts), which made a nice entrance, and the succulent coconut cake, which shares its name with the restaurant. Sweet afric, I'll be back.

Recommend it to everyone for a party with friends, family or colleagues..Good music.Good food..Good cocktail.
