So this is a hidden gem in New Orleans- we were visiting city for a long weekend and was tired of eating all the fried food- This place has the most yummy healthy options right in middle of Bourbon street. Great food and best service- Portions are always very generous. One of the best African food, i've ever had. MUST try in New Orleans.

A lot of intriguing options on this menu. I chose the sisay singho, baked chicken leg and thigh served with fried ripe plantains, sauteed spinach, and coconut rice. Very tasty. The plantains were exactly as advertised and the way I like them. The sauteed spinach was rich and delicious, and the rice was flavorful. I don't know how to describe the seasoning on the chicken but it was a good complement for the rest of the meal. The restaurant is small, the service good. Overall, a solid experience. I'd like to return to try additional food on the menu!

We went to Bennachin on March 13th the waiter was so sweet and the style of the restaurant was very in keeping with the theme of the food. We had the Cope Ni Cone, the Fufu, Apricot Lamb and the Cope Ni Makondo. Everything was so good. But I really enjoyed the spices of the Cope Ni Makondo..
