I am a Gambian we basically share the same food culture with Senegal and I am happy to see that there is senegalise restaurant in this state , the senegambian food is the best
I live 5 minutes away from this restaurant and BELIEVE ME the food is excellent. I've been here dozens of times and the hosts are so friendly and respectable. Great experience indeed.
I know that you can't generalize people by their country of origin. But in my life, 100%, the people of Senegal and Mauritania are just so special to me. I've never had the honor of visiting, but I've had the honor of a lot of friendships originating from Senegal-as well as one of my favorite bosses ever. I'm also surrounded by jewelry, pillows, wall art, coffee carafes, paintings, scarves and even handmade and painted gun holsters that were all gifted to me by my Senegalese friends. Such a special and unique culture. I just can't express eloquently how much I love these people.
Sheldon is an amazing host and the food looks so amazing. Sheldon is so respectful to the people he interviews and you can tell he is truly interested in what they have to say and the food they prepare. Well done, great series.
Always feels nice to see the success stories of those who came and worked hard and worked their way up to make a better life for themselves and their families. I wish them all the success and will definitely try this when I go to Detroit. Thanks for making this video team. :)
rohan kamath I feel the exact same way. It just goes to show that with hardwork, determination and a clear vision you can achieve anything. I admire the immigrants that we have in New Zealand because a good percentage of them are working long hours, adjusting to a new country / way of life, learning a new language, missing the people they left behind, in some cases dealing with racial discrimination & at times abuse and trying to help their children settle in to a new way of life. Unfortunately we get people from particular islands that come here for the government assistance and the cycle carries on with their children. I guess it takes all sorts of people to create a community.
I’m from Cleveland but in 2018 I moved to Detroit with My aunt and little cousin and I ended up needing a job and ended up getting a job at Matys And it was an amazing experience working with there for this guy rhe was. Great guy and plus the food was amazing he would let us Eat lunch there for free every day I wanna tell you this food is amazing and delicious I am half Jamaican I’ve been eating Jamaican food all of my life and I had to tell my dad who is a Jamaican that I think Senegalese food might better than Jamaican good watching this video brings back memories and makes me miss Detroit shout out my guy Amadey
Respect from a fellow Senegalese living in Sweden..could recognize and relate to all of those amazing dishes. My dream is actually to return to the Homeland and open my own American style burger joint. 🇸🇳🇸🇳🇸🇳
I go back home to Detroit to visit Christmas and I'm def trying this out. Also good to hear him say alot more Africans are moving to Detroit. They can bring that hard work ethic with them and take care of areas they populate
With had a African friend his parents were from Egypt and some other part and hey made this one soup called green soup and it was my favorite food foryears
i was not expecting that at all, had to listen to it again lol. i know there's some Tims in the more northern states but for some reason it never occurred to me that detroit touches the us-canadian border.
After watching this video 10 times. I Drove 4 hours to go eat there. This guy hyped it up.. I was super excited to eat and feel like happy. Walked in just to get stared at 😂 maybe I went on a wrong day.. a day where they were all grumpy...
She says we gonna make grilled fish and throws it in the deep fryer lol. All jokes aside I am familiar with African cooking they do fry and grill their chicken and fish . It tastes amazing 🔥
Man I still wish I lived around Detroit sometimes. I used to live in Southfield, but we moved as things started getting bad (jobs). I don't really remember any bad stuff, so all I have when I think of the place is a fond nostalgia despite what I hear it is like now.
Depends on the african just like it depends on the african american. Some Africans are very rude and nasty and some african americans are easy going and nice

rohan kamath took the words out of my mouth. Terrific video @Eater team. Proving, again, why you're my favorite food channel on UA-cam.

Glad to see someone that works very hard for his family to better their future and provides for not only his family but the community
I'll say it: it's a shame this guy had to spend a night in jail. Make America Great Again indeed.
ça fait plaisir de voir mes frères africains réussir aux usa, même si je ne suis pas sénégalais c'est toujours l'Afrique qui gagne.

Amzo Tall that’s a great idea, i would love to open my own restaurant one day too in Gambia😘😍
I go back home to Detroit to visit Christmas and I'm def trying this out. Also good to hear him say alot more Africans are moving to Detroit. They can bring that hard work ethic with them and take care of areas they populate

Arman Khan We'll have a Harvee's next

Detroit and I lived in Toronto for 4 years; when I moved back to Detroit we had a ton of TH's here and it was strange to me too lol!
Well duh we're hockey town and we border canada
Im from Manchester in England, a few Tim Hortons have popped up here in the last couple of years, it's disgusting
I want to taste this and willing to travel and experience this😋😋😋😋
Good to see you here👍💟

Fried... sauced.... grilled....
ANYTHING that goes through this would taste DELICIOUS!!!!
After watching this video 10 times. I Drove 4 hours to go eat there. This guy hyped it up.. I was super excited to eat and feel like happy. Walked in just to get stared at 😂 maybe I went on a wrong day.. a day where they were all grumpy...
coming here for the American dream and making it work. love it. I want that food!!!!
He almost got deported
@@pudanielson1 Why?
She says we gonna make grilled fish and throws it in the deep fryer lol.

Looks delish
More like Chicken YASSSSSSS!
Love this show, aloha from hawaii
Drooling, I want the fish and some of those rolls.
ahh my favorite host in eater.. i wanna hug you man
Man I still wish I lived around Detroit sometimes. I used to live in Southfield, but we moved as things started getting bad (jobs). I don't really remember any bad stuff, so all I have when I think of the place is a fond nostalgia despite what I hear it is like now.
Damn boy that food looks banging
wow this food looks amazing!!!!.
Wow that food looks legit good yum lol
Some of the best food I’ve ever had
Yes, great! 👋👏👍
Looks lush
Their accent is kinda Jamaican at first!!, Wow never knew Senegalese could deliver a delicious dish well done by the way!!
Imagine the bravery you'd need to open up a Senegalese Restaurant in America! Just amazing.
Than again they're in a predominately black city, imagine if they did in a majority white city
The food looks good 😋 hopefully there's Senegalese restaurants in San Diego ca
Love my city!!!! Love Matys!
Looks delicious
Oh man, all the dishes look totally amazing. :|~~~
Looks so good. 😭
Yeah...yassa is my favorite too!!!
Poulet yassa ❤
Go AFTER Your Dreams My Friend! RESPECT
God bless
YUM wish you were in NJ!
Catalsandey Senegalese people know 🙃😉
😂
coming from the Detroit city..
The Mafe thing reminds me of Filipino Kare Kare
I wish you would describe the food more
Got to try that stew
3 visits and the CHICKEN IS THE REAL DEAL. @GRAND RIVER/6MILE AREA
Man ! that looks delicious
would frying the chikcen and the fish not make it dry inside?
“Wow, this a lot of money!” 😂
She given away the secret ingredient to the Authentic Senegalese dishes 🤭🤐
Well done
I am not a big fan of chicken but man that looked good.
i went here and it was so bomb!!! 😩💣
I love it
From one Filipino person to another, did the máfe taste similar to kare-kare? :O
iPartySober yes they are both stew made with peanut sauce so the taste should be very similar.
Anyone else notice the two things he tries first is the ones reminiscent of karekare and lumpia? Lol :)
this man said, 2008 was crazy? no, bro- the 80s and 90s was crazy
Started of with good music. Im 420 now. Open my bottle Corona.then watch the video. 🍺💀🙌🍁
Osas is proud
that fish!!! I want to eat that!!
The American Dream, good luck!
I have to say africans from africa are so different to African Americans they abit more chilled and east to talk to 😂😂😂😂
Depends on the african just like it depends on the african american. Some Africans are very rude and nasty and some african americans are easy going and nice
