    We made a reservation on open table to celebrate my birthday. From the outside the restaurant looked exciting, fun, hip and friendly. We were kindly let in, greeted with a big smile and given the run down for how the “experience” works. We were excited to try the food and hear the music. We were seated and immediately given water. As we were looking around, taking in the vibes, it was nice. Cool music. Looked kind of run down but not too bad. Floors were disgusting and our table extremely wobbly. There were a handful of couples and a large table of guests. We sat there for 20 minutes with a glass of water staring at the drink menu. Not one waitress looked after us. Owners and waiters walked right by quick and not one checked on us or asked us if we would like to order. We weren’t even given a menu! I pulled one up on my phone and we were ready to order. We tried making eye contact several times and that was completely avoided by staff. Eye contact didn’t work so we spoke up and that went unheard, multiple times. It felt like we were absolutely being ignored. Watching how the waitresses worked, I could visibly see other customers annoyed by the lack of care and attention. Shocked, we got up and left. Absolutely insane way to run a business. If we could rate service a zero we would.

    This event was an unexpected delight. The combination of culture and food worked so well together. The drumming sessions were so interactive, and the traditional dishes brought the tastes of Africa to life. It’s an experience that I’ll be recommending to everyone . Best in this area

    I’ve never experienced anything like this before! The drumming created an infectious energy, and the food was absolutely top-notch. Each dish was a beautiful presentation of Congolese flavors that were new and exciting. A celebration in every sense of the word!

    The blend of music, dance, and food was an amazing cultural dive. I loved the interactive elements, especially when we were invited to drum along! The food was incredible, especially the rich, hearty flavors in every dish. This event brought Africa right to our table and hearts.
