I love African food and heard Burna Boy was here a few years ago so it's been on my list to try. Went on a Thurs eve. 

Food/drinks: It was mostly solid. I had the thiebudienne with fish. My partner wanted the Poulet DG (they were out) so he had the mafé. Both were very good, with huge portions (though it's a hard sell for me at 38€ a plate). We also ordered 2 sides of plantain. They were both undercooked, so they prepared an order for us to takeaway. We also tried the 2 rhum based drinks (I really liked the ginger one). 

Service: It was okay. Initially, someone came every 2 minutes to ask to take our order, which was too fast for me and felt a little commercial. Once our food came, no one came to check on us again.

Ambiance: Overall, I love that this type of restaurant exists in an accessible part of Paris! It's more upscale than most you'll find in the city and is large and lively. Live music was a bonus and loved seeing couples, families, and people of all backgrounds. I wish they had put the AC on! 

It's clear this place is made by Africans for a wider audience; if not for the price, I'd go back again soon.

Food was amazing! Ambiance was warm and trendy, service was good! There was a discrepancy with one of the meals and it was fixed immediately.

I had a delicious meal at this restaurant. For an appetizer I had fish patties, I can't recall the exact name. For my entree, I had the fish, with rice, plantain and salad. Everything tasted amazing. The service was great. The wait staff was attentive and helpful. 
I would return here the next time I'm in Paris, France!

If you are ever in Paris and you want to eat some delicious food, please do yourself a favor and come here! The staff was excellent, the ambiance was amazing (all the vibes), and the food was more than delicious! We are going back again! This was my top restaurant by far!!!!

Walked in on a whim. Simply amazing! African decor, food and live entertainment! Those and the service were amazing! Thanks to Abu for his smile, patience (our French is horrible) and hospitality!

Very cozy nice place.
Authentic western African cuisine. I took Poulet Directeur General; chicken with fried plantains and my friend took a Ndole with beef and shrimp.
Owner very friendly and very good service.
Will definitely come back.
