10/10One of the few restaurants where the host actually comes and have a friendly chat with you. The food was really good and reminded me of when I was in Africa on holiday.

7.5/10Food was good with good quantity. I can just gove a bad judgement as a vegan, the food was good but do not deserve the 23euros that i paid only for beans and plantins. Same price than the meat. Otherwise nothing bad to tell.

7.5/10We had to wait for an hour to be served, but they later apologized for this and explained that they had some logistics issues. In the end, the food was worth the wait.
