The thing about it is, I LOVE coming here!! The vibe is ALWAYS good and pure and everyone just wants to eat and dance! The food is ALWAYS fantastic! However...there must've recently been an addition to the kitchen because the young lady who took my order was nasty and pushy. She kept asking me if I wanted to leave a tip ! Like, before I actually ordered my food! She said, "CashApp is $1 more and if you want to leave a tip you can put it on there or give it to me." Ok. When I sent the money she wanted to see the proof. I showed her and she asked AGAIN if I wanted to leave a tip. I said, "I did include the tip." She gave me a dismissive "Oh" like it wasn't enough for her and kept going. I went to check on the status of my food (after a half hour) and she told me that there were 10 people ahead of me and she would bring it out to me. Five minutes later, she comes with my food. ICE COLD. I asked for it in a carry out box. It was on a leaky paper plate with a wet napkin on top of it. As if it had been just sitting out, waiting to be served. I have NEVER had issues with Nandi's and I have a friend that has a table there EVERY weekend! I thought it was unfortunate the way she misrepresented the fantastic attitude and experience Nandi's is known for having.

Being from the suburbs, we've never had exposure to any place like this. We meet the owner and a few others. Conversation was engaging and the atmosphere was relaxed. We came during the day on bikes and had no concerns at all. Go there, you'll have a rich time.

I was invited by my daughter on a Thursday night. I absolutely love the vibe. Bring your own food, drink and smoke. You can take in the talent of local poets or join in the fun. The atmosphere is so chill and relaxed. Nandi is such a sweet lady.

I have to admit, I've never been there during the day to peruse the books or take classes, but Saturday nites are bomb! Mama Nandi makes sure the crowd is on their best behavior. Very laid back, safe and fun time!

Vibe was great people were nice but...Im not sure why they have morning hours when the kitchen isnt open or anything. They were cool with letting me hang out but even getting coffee took some work. I think I will stick to night visits.

Presidential Candidate Marianne Williamson spoke there & it was my 1st time there. The atmosphere was so warm and cozy. I felt LOVE. I sensed Community. It is a place of intellectual exchange and knowledge. There are books everywhere. African Art is all around. Nandi is a strong, loving Black woman; an elder who greets you with Love. I will definitely be spending time there. ❤️

This was my first time visiting this place and I can't wait to go back! It was such a vibe, the music gave me life. I fit right in! I think I've found my people. The drink's were responsible and the patio was nice too. An overall great experience.

Dope vibe. Nice art. Spacious. Friendly folks, no drama & always good energy. I’ve been twice. I love the music learned one of the dances. I’d recommend and return. For nighttime vibes it’s best to get there early enough because seats are first come first serve.

Nandis is a place of culture. She has African artifacts all over the wall. On Saturday night is where you can listen to music, hustle, eat, and enjoy other amenities. It's $20 per person. Try it out and see for yourself

I use to really enjoy this place after hours but it’s no longer safe. Cars are being targeted ?Within the last couple months my sisters truck has been broken into twice. The first time it was her truck and 5 other vehicles. We spoke to the owner who stated they were going to increase the security outside and admitted that this has recently become an issue. We came back over a month later and parked right in front of Nandi’s thinking her car would be much safer but this time they attempted to steal her truck. Each time we called the police to file a report, we got the same exact cop telling us we would be better off just filing a claim through the insurance company to avoid a deductible, and to just go home. This last time he tried asking if my sister had been drinking and that if she files a report he would have to test her alcohol levels. She wasn’t even drunk but it was him avoiding our report for me. I’m beginning to think that someone at Nandi’s and the cops have something to do with it. Just seems really odd. The same back passenger side window busted. The same location. We literally parked in front of Nandi’s doorway and yet we still came out to even worse results than before. My group of friends/family will no longer be coming to this place and I hope anyone that reads this takes this warning seriously. The front desk keeps at least 5 men but nobody outside to watch. They don’t always check ID’s, and don’t check our purses. My friend walked right in with her gun in her purse and they never knew. It’s only a matter of time that things start getting worse. I’m going to miss this place but it’s just not worth it. It’s very scary being we were women stuck outside alone while people off the streets are walking around us. The cops also took there time getting to us. Good luck.
