I visited here in July 2016. I just hadn't gotten around to posting my visit. It was dark inside in contrast to the bright NM afternoon outside. Kind of artsy like so much of Santa Fe. There were two people in African robes. Another white guy dressed like a 16th century Chinese peasant. Not sure what was up with that. Definitely interesting. I heard lots of different accents; one table of Brits, another table sounded like South Africans maybe. There were all kinds of African nick-nacks everywhere.
Probably the coolest thing is that the restaurant exists to support the jumbo foundation. The Gemma foundation is a medical clinic in Africa the prince medical care to people who might otherwise not have it.
They had an interesting menu. I suspect that explains the popularity. I ordered the salmon salad. It had some really distinctive spice rub. I'm not sure what it was. It also had moist capers on top. It was okay.
Service was good and really fast.
Overall, I would give this place an 8.9.
A couple of storefronts down his jumbo imports. Jumbo imports has African art and spices. Make sure to save your money before coming in here. Some of the art for example to Afton bases were selling for $2500. I saw one vest that was decorated it was also going for $2500.
