A taste of Africa

One order of Jama Jama, some African Jambalaya, and an order of Akara for the table...please! I am sitting in the window seat at 1212 Royal Street in my beloved French Q....I am not in Africa! But I could be if I was blind folded and just randomly dropped there. The feel is Africa and how I love that country! The colors and the passion..it is everywhere here, and you feel it the moment you are in "Bennachin"..."A taste of Africa." This small but quaint restuarant is flavorful and is a nice spin on an afternoon lunch with friends. While sipping Barajambo...African herbal tea, talking with friends and the anticipation of a delightful meal...what more can you want? My cup runneth over!

Bennchin Restaurant gives you Africa in an afternoon. After a very long and lingering meal...one must pass thru the kitchen (to go to the rest-room)...the cook is a beautiful elbony colored women with bright authentic African dress from head to toe. And cook she can!

The Akara...(black-eyed pea fritters) is a farovite, and a must for sharing at the table! Jama Jama, is sauteed spinach...yummy! The menu is full of flavors and it is written in African and English. The languages on their menu come from...The Bassa people of Cameroon and The Mandinka people of Gambia. Go and taste Africa's culture with family and friends.
