Overall Rating: 9.3
Sankofa Kitchen is an African culture kitchen with a variety of vegan options available.
Food: They offered a separate vegan menu which is always a plus in the food category. As said in the video review below, we greatly enjoyed the food. If we were to give out an MVP food award, it would definitely be the nachos. We agreed that the texture and taste was the closest we’ve experienced to quote on quote real cheese (They even beat Spiral Diner in cheese quality although Spirals has more stuff on top of the nachos). The base of it was coconut and the nachos we had were very tasty. The rest of the food was good as well.
Atmosphere: The overall feel of the place was smooth and laid back. They had a mix of Jazz, R&B and soul music playing in the background. It was loud enough to be enjoyable but low enough so that we could still hear each other talk. The restaurant also had various art and pictures all over it, giving it a strong cultural vibe. It was enjoyable both visually and music wise.
Customer Service: This was one of the best customer service experiences we’ve had in all our months since we started in January 2016. One of the founders shared the origin story of how the restaurant came to be which was inspiring. On top of this, their eyes were literally glued to our table to see if we needed anything. When we got there, our reservation was already setup and she informed us of the Vegan menu and the most popular entrees on the menu.
In all 3 areas, they were strong. This makes them a strong candidate for visiting them in the future. For more information on them, be sure to check out their website.
