Kaloum Star

Description

Though nominally Guinean, this microcafe also concocts Senegalese and Ivorian mainstays to please the pan-West African constituency double-parked right outside the door. The sauce de feuilles is a good bet, deep green and leafy, flavored with smidgens of fish and meat, delicious over the plate of Uncle Benas. Ditto the chicken in a mild peanut sauce, made better as far as Iam concerned by the toughness of the bird. Sit at a communal table and eat with a big spoon as the black-velvet painting of Nefertiti beams down on you.
