Our Customer Says

9/1/2018
"Let me start off by saying I'm from a part of south asia where they know how to cook their meat especially red meat. The lamb jambalaya was by far the best cooked, spiced, juicy pieces of lamb meat I've had on this side of the Atlantic. A hidden gem of a restaurant."

"Very nice restaurant. Home cooking style serving, plates of food like sautéed lamb over rice The flavors are excellent, we had the Jamaican chicken and lamb strips. Both were delicious. The staff was friendly, but the cook times were fairly long. Overall, recommend this place to try something different. Would gladly come here with friends or family."

"Mmm ... Perhaps my favorite place to eat in New Orleans. I love the Jama Jama Ni Makonde lunch special, which is vegan and has sautéed spinach, delicious coconut rice, plantains, and a roll. There is always great music and wonderful art, too."

" — Karen O. - West Hollywood, CA
