Bon et varié

Bon choix d'entrées et plats vegan aux saveurs africaines. Cuisine goûteuse. Lieu cosy. Je recommande les allocos (bananes plantains frites) et le Yassa vegan !

Délicieux plats d'Afrique version végane.

Un accueil très agréable dans cette charmante cantine qui propose plusieurs plats complètements véganes : le fameux mafé (mon préféré), le yassa, la salade  "Durban Vegan" et il me semble que la salade "Healthy Bangui" l'est aussi.
Pensez à tester les accompagnements notamment les allocos accompagnés de piments végétariens : un délice !

Amazing flavour!

Paris was always a place for exploration for me - so I'm super happy to have tried something completely new!

I can't even tell you what I liked the most, so glad I got to try several dishes (:

Fantastic West African Food

Has several well-marked vegan options - I had the Vegan Mafe (peanut curry), then came back the next day and had the Yassa vegan (a vegetable stew with cabbage). Both were really tasty, and you got a really good amount of hearty, filling food. The atmosphere was also really nice and down to earth - friendly, helpful staff, laid back, and interesting Malian art on the walls. It was also really easy to navigate for someone who doesn't speak great French, with an online menu and very patient and understanding staff, and it's close to Gare du Nord where Eurostar goes from. Strongly recommend!

Pros: Good value, Tasty food, Laid back atmosphere

Cons: Not fully vegan yet

Not fully vegan but worth checking out

Place serves meat but there are also vegan versions of classic West African dishes such as yassa and mafé.

For starters we had Afro Veggie Tempura which were deep fried vegetables with tasty and hot sauce. On the spot made extra hot chili sauce is available on the table if you like your food even hotter.

We also tried Le Mafé Vegan, a classic Senegalese peanut stew. It tasted very good but there was no vegan protein (such as tofu) in place of meat, only vegetables.

For drinks we chose Healthy Bissab (hibiscus juice) and Boisson au Baobab (drink made from baobab fruit). Both were very sweet in taste, maybe even a bit too much. No extra cost for water.

Pros: Vegan versions of classic West African dishes, Fast service, Affordable

Cons: Main courses have no vegan proteins, No English or printed menu, only QR code

Very good african cuisine

Very good restaurant! Although they serve meat they offer a wide choice of typical African dishes in vegan version.

I tried Yassa, Durba bowl (excellent taste, I recommend, but without starchy - there was no attieke in mine for some reason), and Tiep.

Allokos are very good!

Ambiance is nice and the staff is friedly. Definitely a good place

Delicious African food

The fried plantain is incredible and the vegan Mafe and Yassa dishes were both really nice! Nice atmosphere too though rather small.

Delicious and flavorful

• I remember 3 vegan dishes: Mafé, Yassa, and the African style salad I had of which I don’t remember the name.
• The menu is given in a tablet (so you clearly see pictures and descriptions too). The order is not taken with the tablet, they come to take it.
• They have nice fitting background music that doesn’t disturb conversation
• very comfy ambience
• They sell African products there too


Interior design is beautiful, well balanced between colorful and classy. Beautiful artwork.

Authentic african cuisine

The food was so, so, so good. Unfortunately it is not possible to give 5 stars as the restaurant is not fully vegetarian/ vegan. I had Le Mafé Vegan which was rice, (sweet) potatoes, tomatoes some other vegetables and caramelised peanuts. I ordered it with UberEats and the portion was quite big so that I had leftover for the next day. Perfect!

Great!

So happy to have found a place with vegan mafé and jassa! The mafé with attieké was great, their spicy sauce truly spicy and there is a vegan dessert option as well. Very good price/quality ratio, will definitely eat here again.

Pros: Friendly staff

Awesome African food

I love coming here to eat vegan versions of yassa and mafe. The restaurant has a very hipster feel to it, they sell lots of teas and stuff around the walls. The food is excellent and its not too expensive. I highly recommend if youre looking to try something new. They also have a big variety of bissap juice and many other interesting juice and tea drinks to choose from.

Pros: Delicious recipes, Cute decorated space

Cons: Not very interesting vegan dessert option

Tasty, hearty African vegan stews in a stylish restaurant with friendly service.

Our mixed family (Omni, veg, & pescatarian) enjoyed our lunch at this stylishly decorated restaurant. The favorite stew was the peanut one. It was a delight to get to try a new cuisine at this spot, and the server was friendly and accommodating and made a special dish for my 3 year old. The food was fresh and special. The restaurant also sells cookbooks, spices, and ingredients in case you want to try at home! Vegan options are clearly marked on the menu.

Pros: Multiple vegan options, clearly marked., Friendly, helpful staff

Vegan African option

Food is tasty and has several vegan options. Its rare to get African food in a vegan way. The drinks are not cheap (4 Euros) but you get tap water for free.
Nice place, you can have a look into the kitchen through a wide glass wall. Nice stuff. I liked my visit.

Pros: Vegan African food, Look into kitch, Nice atmosphere
