"The fresh ginger juice is deliciously intense and the assiette végétarienne is incredibly flavorful. I love spice and was glad I asked for a side of the spicy sauce!"

"I loved this experience. I felt so much joy eating this food years welled up in my eyes. The lady behind the counter watched me as if to say, your joy is beyond the cost of this meal. Highly recommend, especially to Black Americans or expats."

"Excellent food, smiling staff. The food takes time which is not unusual as you order and they make the food as you wait. If you love fish, especially Tilapia, this is the place to be."

"A small and very casual place, with very "dated" decor, the first impressions may be deceiving - the staff are extremely friendly, and the food is amazing - hearty, rustic, homely. We had a great time and as surprising as that may sound, we had our best meal of our whole stay in Paris in Le Sawa."
