The dining room at Fatou's is very comfortable and warming, physically and visually. She makes easy conversation and has a beautiful, giving soul.
Her food tastes divine. I very much enjoyed her Senegalese chicken and rice dish, I think she called it "special rice," but I have poor time remembering names.

I’ve never had Senegalese food before but man I’ve been missing out!! Saw the reviews on Google and decided to give it a try. I’m from Toronto and I know what real good food is.

Do yourself a favour and come eat here!!
