I ordered the palm oil smoked turkey. I dont know much about the palm part as I'm not familiar with it but the smoked turkey was the best I've ever had. Whoever made the smoked turkey knows their way around a smoker!I'd love to see what else they can smoke up back there!
Interesting food, with unusual spices. Not large, but clean and a good value.
Ordered from DoorDash, arrived sooner than expected. Cheesesteak was great, gyro was great, jollof rice was good, but not what I was used to. There’s significant differences in jollof from different regions though, so no foul there. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of food, would like to try the babaganoush next time.
Before the sign went up, I walked into what use to be Altawan, and found myself pleasantly surprised! Ownership had changed and it was no and African restaurant!!!While we live near a hub of delicious African eats, I've always wished a location pop up.The food is delicious and the service exceptional!!!I LOVE how the owners have remodeled and shifted the space. It's a weekly and occasional biweekly stop for us! Yum!
They serve an excellent gyros....better than most in Louisville. The lamb/beef was served hot and seared. Another refreshing thing about this gyros is that it is not an oversized portion. The fries we're also hot and crispy. The service is prompt and friendly and the place is clean. (the picture doesn't do this gyros justice. Most of the tzatziki, lettuce and tomatoes are under the gyros meat)
Do NOT believe the inaccurate, malicious and likely bigoted review from Anthony. The previous establishment and its proprietors were everything Anthony described, but Wologisi and its staff are the epitome of professionalism, kindness and wonderful customer service. I live in the neighborhood, so value having establishments such as Wologisi, but especially the staff.I stopped in on 10 Dec 21. I didn't know what I wanted, just knew I wanted to support. With that in mind, I ordered a little bit of everything I wanted. I was not disappointed. I was welcome and despite being what I admit was a bit extra in my ordering, I was treated with as much respect as those who go in knowing exactly what they want.Local businesses are the heartbeat of our community. It's unfortunate that a new establishment has already become the target of nefarious reviews like Anthony's. I had a wonderful experience and am confident you will to. If you don't, tell the staff and give them the opportunity to make things right; based on my experience, I believe they'll go above and beyond to do so.
Went in and was greeted by the sweetest lady behind the corner. Told her what I wanted and she made sure that my daughter and I were well taken care of. I had the spinach and rice. Had lots of flavor. Tried to save some for tomorrow but I couldn’t. Ate every single bite
Located in the old Al Watan restaurant space, Wologisi is a gem of a find. Sure, you can get gyro's and French fries, but why? At the counter are steaming trays full of West African specialties. Lamb, goat, chicken and fish are on offer with your choice of rice. We're had the goat, chicken, and greens with fish. The dishes have been without exception deeply flavorful, accessible, and satisfying. Don't miss the freshly fried plantains, hot from the grill and slightly caramelized. They folks DESERVE your business!
Walked in and there were bungs in the counter near the food and a cockroach on the floor near the kitchen. It did not smell pleasant and the food appeared to have been sitting there for a while. We left immediately and did not eat.
This place is a jewel. I walked in to blank walls and fresh paint, since Alwatan (the previous restaurant) closed, it was an abrupt difference. There was a bright and cheerful lady standing next to the counter with an assortment of hot trays of West African food. I asked what the dishes were and found that they were serving three different rice dishes including jollof. There were a few different chicken dishes, okra stew and yassa which I ordered. Additionally, there was another business partner in the back making Lebanese food, who seemed to be carrying on the Alwatan torch who made my father a lamb gyro. They don't have a formal menu yet and still are getting started. Ask questions. Order what looks or sounds good and you will be rewarded with amazing food. The jollof rice was out of this world and the chicken dishes were perfectly spiced. The okra stew had some serious heat too which was appreciated. A full salad and two baklava comes with any meal you order, which is also great. I hope this place succeeds because this is some of the most delicious West African food I have had in the entire region, making it a great addition to the international food scene that this area of Louisville is becoming.
