sooooo happy to be having food from my country (DRC) in chicago!!! the hosts were so kind and jovial. the food tasted just like how my mom makes it. great congolese music and drinks like vitalo as well! they do not yet serve alcohol so get your alcoholic drinks before or after if that’s what you’re looking for. i genuinely want everyone to know about this placez whether congolese or not, i can almost guarantee you will find the flavours are rich and delicious. and the price is very decent…

The food was absolutely spectacular. My friend and I shared the grilled goat with their légumes verts (which was similar to collard greens) and fufu. The dish was $26 but they served plenty of food, and it was absolutely delicious. The staff were very welcoming and kind. I'd love to go again.

Finally tried this place and it was fantastic. The owners/staff were all very kind and genuinely cared that I enjoyed the food. The jollof was a delight. I’ve never had Congolese jollof and it did not disappoint. Excellent. I highly recommend this place for a delicious dinner.

This place is seriously amazing. Had the dindon with jollof rice and african beans. Flavors and spiciness were perfectly excellent. They’re clearly still working towards their stride after recently opening, but the atmosphere and service are excellent and really all they need is some well deserved neighborhood love. Seriously- get in here.
