    Wasn’t bad, but wasn’t the best. The service was good but I believe dishes were overpriced for quality.

    Server was attentive and food was delish. I ordered the jollof rice with stewed lamb. The spicy sauce served on the side was my favorite.

    This is my second time here. Though not in my neighborhood, Azara is worth the trip. The branzino is crisp and moist, and the jollof rice is excellent. I also enjoyed the vegetable nem. Service is done with a smile. Prices are reasonable, and portions are filling. You can bring your own wine. Go!

    I saw this place on TikTok so I was excited to try it out. I was extremely disappointed. The service is slow and they were disorganized. I waited an hour before even getting anything on my table beside a non-alcoholic drink. People who showed up after me and were served before me. The server couldn't explain some of the drinks on the menu. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Overall, I did not have a great experience . I ended up going a block away to corner social to revive my energy. I wish I went to Corner Social in the first place.

    We loved everything about our first experience here! The food was authentic and delicious! There’s no bar so we could bring our own wine - a real plus! The waitstaff were lovely in every way - helpful and accommodating and just sweet. My only slight criticism was that it took a very long time to get our excellent food, presumably because it was all carefully cooked to order. We’ll definitely return!

    I had a fabulous stew with crispy branzino and jollof rice. The service was friendly, and the owner was willing to accommodate a request for a change in the rice. I loved the spicy ginger tea. It was so nice to be there with regulars who appreciate delicious food and return again and again. As a first timer, I was so pleased with my choice to eat here.

    Really great West African food, though there were plenty of “American” options for brunch as well. We opted for shrimp and grits, a chicken dish with jolof rice, and a side of plantains, all of which were fabulous. No alcohol licence but you can bring your own. Loved it.

    The space is welcoming, beautifully decorated and peaceful. Our server was very patient with us. The food was fresh and very tasty! My friend had the maffe and basically inhaled it. ;-) I had the Jollof rice with fish. Their Bissau SLAPPED! Everything was great. I want to come back and try their dessert. the tiramisu was sold out which means it's POPULAR.
