Hi Chris, thanks for your review and glad you enjoyed the food! As we're in the Africa Centre our drinks are provided by the in-house bar, but we will make sure to pass this on and to think through how we can streamline the drinks service better.

The Africa Centre’s new Senegalese restaurant of on the ground floor offers a promising concept with lovely staff, but it struggles with early teething issues and a disorganized setup that detracts from the overall experience. When we arrived at 13:05, the team was still setting up for lunch service, leading to delays in taking orders and a slightly chaotic atmosphere. The open-plan kitchen contributed to the noise, with an incessant beeping from the kitchen that we had to request be turned off. Adding to the unsettled vibe, no background music was played initially, leaving the space feeling unfinished until later. Food and Drink: The food, however, was a highlight. The lamb in peanut sauce, reminiscent of a satay-style dish, was flavorful, and the sea bass with jollof seasoning was particularly well-executed. Drinks, sourced from the upstairs bar and billed separately, were a mixed experience in terms of process but not quality. The Uusa Vodka Mango and Chili long drink was refreshing

The set dinner menu is fantastic value for money with substantial portion sizes, particularly for the main courses. The food is delightful and the flavours are bold and beautiful. Our favourite was the sea bass with white jollof rice. Chef Khadim also checks on each table personally towards the end of their meal, which is a lovely touch.
