My girlfriend and I ordered a chicken and griot plate. The menu promised macaroni and rice for each plate. What we received was the complete opposite. Instead of proper sides, the dish had a handful of spring-mix leaves sitting in the same container as the hot food not on the side, not separated literally touching the rice and meat. It looked like decoration, but the heat turned it into a wilting, soggy salad that made the entire plate steamy and mushy. The contrast was unpleasant, and the salad was unusable. To make matters worse, my girlfriend’s plate never showed up at all. We had to split my meal, which was already small, leaving us both still hungry. Portion-wise, it wasn’t even enough for one person, let alone two. The photos online are misleading. The plates in the pictures look full, clean, and intentional. What we got felt rushed, poorly assembled, and nowhere near the advertised presentation. The only reason we ate it is because we were starving — and I’ll be honest, the taste wasn’t terrible. I’d give the flavor 3.9/5, but everything else from accuracy to portion to presentation was a miss. If you’re ordering because of the pictures, manage your expectations. What’s advertised is not what’s delivered. Disappointing, and unfortunately not a place I’d recommend.
