Base lounge

I love the food. It's fresh and tasty. The jollof rice and grilled turkey, chicken and fish are off the charts!

The DJ's are awesome, two music areas reggae and African music. The kitchen food is subpar at best but whatever you get on the grill will be superb & those drinks are definitely on point! Not the cleanest of places but still a good time in the hood

This is a gem waiting to take off, but needs a lot of work in the back room and upfront. This place can easily be ignored and passed thru if your not paying attention. The location is not the best area or nice looking. Outside there are plenty of parking. I visited during lunch hour so there weren't many cars. There were no sign indicating if they are open or not. But inside, the decor can be deceiving. It's a confused mixture of bar and lounge, with DJ music section in the corner. The low lighting makes the inside a little dark. But the most important reason you are there is the food. The food is more of Afro-Caribbean, but actually more of Nigerian dishes. I ordered the White rice with curry chicken and it was quite an adventure in mouth watering flavor. It wasn't too spicy nor bland. It was just right for me. Unlike other African food places, the food is also made for nutrition not just flavor, with sprinkles of veggies to go along with it. The portion size was more than I expected and the meat was not dry and tasted fresh. The pricing is reasonable and entrees are under $12. If you go after 2pm on Fridays and weekend, it's down to $10. Be sure to ask what's available because not all the menu items are available.Follow up visit, this place hasn't changed much except what maybe the first African buffet - all you can eat Afro-Nigerian cuisine. This is a truly revolutionary idea that many African food shoppe have resisted amidst the abundance of hungry expats who would delight at the opportunity of unlimited homely food. The display is a train of food trays with choices of Jollof, chicken stews, fried fish, goat meat, plantain, and fufu. It's not food galore, but the choices are decent to satisfy the pallet. Just go in grab a plate and dig in. The price tag is set at $20 and only available on the weekends. So grab a friend for date night and slowly enjoy. The fourth or fifth round you definitely get a stare from the owner. The owner is friendly but would charge for water to drink. Payment system could be better and less cumbersome. The buffet table takes up the entire center room but could be moved to a corner. It's a mystery where the plates and utensils are kept. Just walk back to the kitchen and ask to borrow one. This place is a mesh of lounge, bar, and now buffet. Food is taste but meat can be dry.

Had a good time there, unexpectedly! Was heading to the Mango Cafe, but it was closed! Base had a representative waiting at Mango to reroute business. So, me and my girls went! It was clean and quiet when we got there. It picked up after midnight. Drinks were cool for $10 a pop! Music was cool. Small spot, like most West African spot!

- I use to party here on the weekends when they had a dj. Now they focus on the lounge aspect of it. More tables, pretty decor, nice lights, etc. I ordered curry chicken with rice and vegetables. The curry chicken is spicy which is WHAT I FELL IN LOVE WITH. the lady behind the bar did ask me if I like spicy so she did give me a heads up. The only thing I don't like is the fact that they don't take cards. I had to go to 7-11 across the street to pull out money. But overall, I will be back! I'm giving 5 stars because of the food and service! I'll just carry cash when I go :)

Excellent experience in all entirety and I would love to explore to maximize my potential in various aspects

It seems to be a decent place been there about 6 times and love the atmosphere. Just wish they would change up the music every now and then. Overall had a ball on the dance floor with cuz and her friends.

The food was decent, the suya was extremely spicy but fortunately for me the nice lady warned me and asked me if I wanted the spice on the side. The place is more of a lounge than a restaurant to me. It could be a decent spot if they would keep some of the crackhead locals out.

One of the best bars/lounges I have been too , beautiful, clean place with very affordable cocktails/drinks , there clubbing time is always lit and let me not for get About the food , very delicious to the core , would recommend this place for anybody that just wanna have a good time and wanna explore other cultures!!
