The food is good but customer service is TERRIBLE!!!! I ordered through Grub Hub and they gave me sweet potato fries instead of sweet potatoes. I called them TWICE line just kept ringing with no response. Normally when you call a professional establishment they pick up within 3 rings NOT THIS PLACE!! I even had Grub hub call them 3 TIMES!! Save yourself some time and your money and go to ERA. At least they pick up the DAMN phone! *2 weeks later. I decided to give them another chance to redeem themselves. They 'claimed' they never received my ordered (yeah okay I ordered through Grub Hub come again?) and of course when Grub called them multiple times no response. The rep had to contact the driver who told her that Youma claimed they never received my order!!! It was so bad that the rep refunded me my money and gave me a $25 coupon code for the inconvenience. I ended up ordering from a Chinese Resturant who was farther away and still delivered me my food within 20-30 mins after ordering. If I could give them zero stars I would. DON'T GO TO THIS PLACE!!!! YOU COULD KILL THE ANIMAL YOURSELF, CLEAN IT, SEASON, COOK IT ALONG WITH SIDE DISHES AND STILL EAT SOONER THAN WAITING FOR THIS PLACE.

I this place is the other location to Kilimanjaro on 45 th and Chestnut. I really had a tough time at this location. Every lamb option i wanted was out, chicken, gone, i got fish, red snapper was out though. Found a mill bug in my rice, and the server lady laughed! Am i supposed to eat bugs, i thought? Because i can go in my cupboard and gnaw on some old flour for free! Go to 45th and Chestnut Kilimanjaro, this location gets a thumbs down.

Today I ate here for the first time. The food was tasty but my lamb was very tuff. me and my children was not greeting with a smile or a warm welcome. This is my second time entering an unfriendly Senegalese restaurant where the women did not smile and looked depressed. I can relate to the lady that said they treat un native Africans different. I now wondering if I would of entered useing my African accent and wearing african attire would me and my family have been treating differently and had our lamb cooked tender. It's always nice to dine at a place that welcomes you and greet with smiles.

The food was good but the restaurant had barely any heat when it was 30 degrees out. Better to take out from.

Great food, beautiful and comfortable atmosphere.. Quick service and great drinks! One of my new favorites
