About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
Nested in Uphams Corner, Dorchester, we're a lively and intimate 30-seat restaurant serving brunch on the weekend and dinner at night with a full bar and outdoor patio. Our food is a celebration of the ingredients and flavors of the diaspora connected from Asia to the Americas — global comfort food. We are proudly Black-owned, immigrant-owned, and women-owned. We believe that food is a vital aspect of community building and we envision a place that is actively engaged in highlighting the culture, art, and history of our community.

- Patio dining: patio reservations are weather-dependent and may be canceled due to inclement weather. Our patios are partially covered protecting from light to moderate rain and light wind.

- Timing: dinner's last seating is at 8:45pm and brunch's last seating is at 1:30pm. Your table is reserved for 90 mins for parties of 1-5 guests and 2 hrs for parties of 6+ guests.

Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: This Dorchester gem's cross-cultural menu is unlike anything else in the region, and that's why it's already earned a five-star review in the Boston Globe and been named Boston Magazine's best new restaurant in 2023. The restaurant, led by managing partner Biplaw Rai, is a nod to the rich contributions of immigrants to this country. Dishes embrace the ingredients and flavors of the African diaspora, which means you'll find West African-style suya beef with caramelized onions and spicy Ghanian plantain preparation kelewele. Get in on the celebrations in the light and airy dining room or the greenery-lined patio in the back, all part of what was once a historic rest station in Upham's Corner.

    Great cocktail program. Plantain, okra and jerk sliders were pretty good but none of them really blew me out of the water. I greatly enjoyed the Mushroom and Chicken entrees, which were both a decent portion. The pacing was really off though. Drinks came late and/or were forgotten and had to be reordered. Our entrees (table of 4) were also brought at different times, a noticable gap of at least 10 minutes. Staff were all very kind and welcoming though. Overall we enjoyed the food but it was a bit pricey for the experience.

    Food was amazing. At $18 for small cocktails or a glass of wine I'd say the drinks are pricey. But the food worth every penny.
