Our Services
Anansi’s Odyssey
An ode to Enslaved People’s resilience and capacity to triumph over more powerful forces using cunning, creativity, and wits, Anansi’s Odyssey mirrors the black tradition of transmitting cultural values, beliefs, and history through oral expression and food. The experience follows the folklore figure’s journey from the Gold Coast to Afro-communities in the Caribbean and the Americas. Diners will be transported to a world of Afro-folklore, mythology, and superstitions while discovering a diverse range of Afro-diaspora cuisine from Ghana, to Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Haiti, and ending in South Carolina.
Mansa Musa’s Table
A reimagining of Mansa Musa’s royal feast, the Mansa Musa’s table provides diners with an exquisite, regal dining experience that offers a delectable exploration of cuisines from countries that were once part of the Mali Empire. Served family style as is the custom in the Sahel region, the experience embraces the Griots tradition (West African traditional storytellers, poets and musicians) of using food to welcome and introduce a guest to the clan.
The Voudou Child Experience
A journey of the senses enhanced by cannabis-infused offerings, the Vodou child experience will take diners through an exploration of Afro-spirituality where the spiritual and ancestral planes co-exist with the everyday and mundane. Food will act as a gateway to the spiritual, allowing diners to explore a multilayered reality.
