James K: Went there for lunch Sunday afternoon. There was someone from the kitchen lying down in one of the Booths I felt like I was in the hood. And the waitress gave me my bill with all my plates in front of me . There was two people at the bar and and she was just telling me how busy she was.

Jom Axline: Despite the fancy intro it's well suited for all eaters and foodies alike. Very traditional fare and we loved the bean dip, fritters, and popovers that come with the meal. add a salad for a buck and get any drink ever thought of at the open bar. Prices will buff out at the end and you'll feel you got a 5 star experience for a 3 star price.

Carl Penta: Out standing

Patricia Fennessey: Food is reliably fresh, but has never been more than middling -- menu hasn't been updated since the Pharos. Popovers are good, bean dip is good, but long gone are the spinach pie and chicken wings from a bygone era..the food has never been gourmet or even mildly modern, but the fun we used to have visiting such a throwback seems to have been drained out of the place -- it just struck me as sad. Even the wait staff seem a bit down. Always had a great time coming here because it had a unique, funky, old school vibe: amusing appetizers, sassy older waitresses, and a great drink pour. Feels more "last legs" than old school now. I'll probably go back, as friends are sentimentally attached -- If you reduce your expectations you'll probably have fun despite any culinary downsides.

Philip Gindi: Most recent visits were unpleasant. On Valentine's day, the scallops were rubbery.Another time, the chicken piccata tasted like boiled chicken with piccata sauce on top. Tasted horrible. I had decent meals there in the past but not anymoreFood: 1/5|Service: 4/5|Atmosphere: 3/5 …More

Our waiter was professional but also friendly. Our meals were scrumptious. We will definitely be back!Kid-friendliness: Great Kids menu

Thomas Bowes: Went in for on Saturday 3/4/2023. Was not busy but the service was still slow. Food was not impressive for the price. We used come here all the time and stopped coming for the same reason. Too bad because you used to be a great place to goFood: 3/5|Service: 3/5|Atmosphere: 3/5 …More

Rithy Eth: Always drove by this restaurant so thought to give it a try tonight. Ordered delivery and regretted it. Ordered only 2 items and they forgot one of the items. The order i did received was the jerk chicken but first bite it was cold. Also, only recieved 3 small pieces of chicken which for the price point in my opinion isn't worth it. Overall, a bad experience and won't be giving it a second chance.

Felicia Coutu: Worked there from January 25th to February 14th. For my first week(until the 31st) I had no numbers to clock in nor use for serving and using pos system, therfore all my credit tips went to someone else. I was serving, hosting, bartending(don't know anything about it) bussing and answering the phones. Bosses would stand around drinking and watch the chaos unfold as people waited extra long for uncooked food, horrible beverages and no bread or butter to eat while waiting. They also were only paying me $5.50 per hour even after explaining to them the law has changed to 6.75 for servers as of 1/25. Finally after my first paycheck for 5.50 a hour they told me they would fix it for next paycheck. They did but only to 6.50. They also aren't aware that the law states if my tips and min wage do not sum up to the minimum wage of $15 I am entitled to the larger one whichever that is. And I never made tips as the place is not busy. It is sad to see how many people run that place illegally and how many employees are not paid properly.

Bob Lala: Very much a mid spot. How are you in a college community but don’t throw +18 parties. I should not be partying next to someone 3x my age…

Betchela meronnis: I have mixed feelings about the food. I am from the Caribbean and I have so many friends who are Africans and I love to eat their jollof rice. So, I decided to buy it. The rice was really dried. It looked like it been cooked for a while. They just heat it up in the microwave.Dancing Jerk Chicken was great but spicy.Egusi Stew. I did not like the smell. The smell was so unpleasant. Again, maybe because of different cultures but I didn’t like it.Overall, there is room for improvement. Lowell is full of Africans. Having a restaurant with good food to represent them will be fantastic.

Kazi Tanzeem Shahid: We came to Lowell on short notice and were looking for a restaurant that was open in late night.We called and confirmed that the restaurant closes at 12, and the kitchen closes at 11.When we came after 10, we were told that the kitchen closed at 10, and the restaurant is closing. We tried to explain what we were told a short while ago, and they just shut the door on our faces. Apparently this early closing happens on Sundays, then why were we told of the later closing times since we called on a Sunday? This kind of miscommunication is beyond frustrating.EDIT: Regarding the owner's response, I can understand that the kitchen closes at 10, that's fine, but since we called just shortly before that, we should not have been told that the kitchen closes at 11.And my name isn't KariAlso, if anyone who thinks i'm being nitpicky here, we were on Lowell during a connecting flight, we literally were short on time and finding a place to eat that late at night was a more critical issue than usual.

Jennifer Boggie: The food is delicious and the atmosphere is friendly. My only complaint is the food takes a long time to come, but it's delicious and freshly prepared, and very flavorful. Great for family dinner and kid-friendly, but also an excellent date night atmosphere.

Shaleen Gutu: The food is terrible. The oxtail taste like it was drowned in ketchup. Egusi is not authentic. They have people who aren’t even versed in cooking ethnic food. Don’t even dare come at night the service is absolutely terrible the bartenders are great but they don’t have sufficient staff to help. Owners and management have no knowledge of their own bar. Waiting 20mins for a drink at a Lowell bar that’s not even near capacity is absolutely ridiculous. Mind you management called me a “b****” after voicing my frustrations. 1/10 I don’t recommend.

Keionia Jefferson: Good food had a great experience

Steven Gutierrez: This was the worst experience I ever been too been here couple times dj was not good security guard was super rude and ridiculous was ignoring me while I was talking would not recommend hope that lightskin security will not be working there no more super disrespectful to customers!!!

Natalia Gonzalez: Such bad customer service when coming in. The guy security is disrespectful and shouldn’t work there.

Becky Ajuonuma: Came here for a private group dinner and had a great experience. The owner and restaurant manager gave us a personal overview of the restaurant and it’s mission + all the events they put on to engage with the community.I particularly enjoyed the food (went for seconds because it was buffet style) I had the beef suya, stew, plantains, puff puff and couscous.There’s a restaurant at the top and a lounge + bar at the bottom for events.

Orianna Natsis: I decided to try Sahel after having walked past it dozens of times. After my experience there I can definitely say I will be coming back, as well as recommending it to others! The food was delicious- quickly prepared, fresh ingredients, and absolutely delicious! The staff was extremely friendly and polite. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. If you're looking for your new favorite dish, try the Dancing Jerk Chicken!

Giovannie Z: This is a terrific restaurant. The food is great especiallyas an African, you eat and feel like home. I wish I could give them 10 stars. Thank you for giving us a taste of homeFood: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More

tunde adebimpe: Horrible experience! I don’t know how this reviews came to be and I’m curious to know. I ordered pounded yam and egusi. Pounded yam is the size of a tennis ball. My egusi soup had no meat!!! No meat!!!! I repeat, no meat!!!! I told the owner and the server and owner asked if I wanted to order meat separately. This bowl cost me $24, 50% more than I’d pay to eat same meal somewhere else. Yes, no meat! This reviews are from non-Africans. No wonder I don’t see a single African come in, and place is super empty. I will not be going back!!

Levitate Echo on PS5: Food was great and people were nice I recommend

Julissa Jiminian: I’ve always wanted to try egusi and fufu but I’ve never been able to find anywhere near. This local spot in Lowell has incredible food. I finally tried it today and let me tell you if you’ve been thinking about it just try it you won’t be disappointed. The staff was super friendly I will definitely come by again and have some drinks they close at 2am on Fridays!!

Joseph Hayes: Food and Service Was Great...Unfortunately There is A Junky Who Sits In A Lawn Chair in front of Restaurant Begging For Change, And His Friends either passed out...and/or doing drugs/drinking on the Side Of The Restaurant...its such a shame City of Lowell let people like this ruin this area...we surely will not be back to dine in...but will probably have it delivered...it was delicious...just a shame about who is hanging out in the front.

Kat Chantre: This is the second time I've tried to order from this restaurant and couldn't. First time I ordered online for their oxtail plate, after waiting a while for my order. Tracking the online order I noticed it was automatically changed to the jerk chicken dish which I did not want. I guess they ran out of oxtail, but I had to contact the delivery driver to not accept the order. Because first, I was not informed that they no longer had oxtail and if I would prefer a different dish. I let it go asked for a refund and left it at that.This time around the oxtail is no longer available for online order, I noticed it hasn't been since, so I decided to go with two other dishes. The jerk chicken and the red snapper. Online explains the fish can be "baked or fried" but I had no way to make that option to choose. And the picture online also shows veggies but nothing that guaranteed it to come with the plate other than rice. So I had questions, or tried to leave a special instructions, however online they were not receiving special or specific instructions, even if I was to write I have a shellfish allergy since I saw they also carry shrimp inhouse. So I called the restaurant for pickup order through the phone, with hope someone could answer all my questions because now no matter what online method I used like delivery, pick up or carry out I was faced with the same restrictions. I called around 2:30pm, a gentleman answered and said he would call me back in 5 mins but never did, I called many times after that and got no answer. Really sucks because all I see is great reviews and amazing pictures uploaded with reviews that make you want to try their food. But maybe the only way is to dine in. But I would hate to meet the same bad experience.

Wincia Emmanuel: Best restaurant ever they foods is very delicious

Marcus Christopher: Great drinks and one of the few classier places that stays open late on the weird Monday and Tuesday nights, definitely will be back!

Mom4romHell: Great food and great service!

Hornung Scranton: The dinner was delicious, with generous servings and flavorful seasoning. The wings were incredibly well-seasoned, grilled, and crispy. I would adore returning!

Edward Keefe: Hard to know if the food is good, we only stopped by for drinks. I can say the dishes that were carried past us looked amazing. The bar staff were friendly and clearly loved making mixed drinks. Also a nice rotation of craft beers, They had some from Foam from VT (I love Beers from Foam). Would love to come back and try the food.

Garrett McCutcheon: The only thing stopping this from being a 5 star review is that everything was a little too salty for our tastes. The flavor was definitely there though! The cocktails were very fresh and well balanced. Recommend the wings, gumbo, and carrot cake.Food: 4/5|Service: 4/5|Atmosphere: 4/5Recommended dishes Shrimp & Andouillo Gumbo, Chicken Wings, Carrot Cake …More

Eric Faulkner: You’ve gotta try the brick chicken! But literally everything I’ve had has been perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned, and perfectly portioned.

Anthony M: Cool place, great drinks and service. The food is ok, pub food but fancy. It's not really my thing, but I recognize that it's quite good for what it is and they put a lot of effort into the presentation which is nice. A good assortment of drinks. The service was very attentive and the building is very interesting. I live walking distance away, but my friend had some difficulty finding parking.

Yolanda Sheehan: Whenever someone asks me about Lowell eats or I want to take an out-of-town friend out, I always recommend The Keep first. Come for the brick chicken and stay for the drinks and atmosphere!

Patrick D: This is an excellent tavern (by definition a tavern is more upscale than a bar). The food is excellent and the prices reflect the effort that the proprietors have put into bringing the servings to the table. I say this because certain reviewers have called it, “a bit pricey for Lowell.” No, it was only pricey for them. This is a beloved tavern in Lowell and yes, Lowell does deserve good things. The Phantom Gourmet gave The Keep a rave review and you should take that advice over the Troglodytes that can’t afford a 20% tip for the service.

Ryan Burke: My wife and I have been going to the Keep since they opened. We love the vibe there and the owner is one of the best people you’ll find anywhere. Down to earth, friendly and accommodating. I love the rotating cocktail menu and the wings are the best I’ve ever had. For dinner I typically go with either the burger, the gumbo, the brick chicken, or the ribeye. All 4 are excellent options, but you honestly can’t go wrong with anything there. For dessert, I highly recommend their carrot cake, trust me, as someone who hates standard carrot cake fare, they have elevated it beyond what I ever would have expected.

Michael Moxley: Great food. Good management. Killer selection of booze. I'll be back for sure. Keep it up!

Francis Ekidor: We liked the Keep! We were there on a Sunday, shortly before the kitchen opened up again after brunch. Our cocktails, a dark and stormy and a winter cosmo, were excellent. The beer list is on a chalkboard and extensive. We ordered the dry rub wings with remoulade, which were excellent, not greasy at all. The herb roasted cauliflower was wonderful. We split a burger and fries, both fine. We sat in the dining room, relatively empty when we were there but I could see it could be noisy if busy. Service was friendly and attentive and the patrons were an eclectic group. We will go back.

Matthew Rivers: Great local date night spot in Lowell. We felt the drink alone merit a trip back. The food was great: good portions and it was seasoned well. We also got the vegetable tartine as well which was a nice light appetizer.Recommended dishes Hand Cut Fries, Burger and Fries …More

Isela Pina: No critico el lugar, tampoco el servicio, la comida la verdad esperaba más tenía muchas ganas de ir pero me decepcionó, pedí una arepa que no tenía nada de especial, una bandeja cafeteo que pedi un cambio de carne a churrasco y pagaba la diferencia porque solo quería el pedazo de carne ( para mi eso no era churrasco, una carne dura y seca llena de cueros duros ) y me cobraron por separado la bandeja y el churrasco sin haberme dado los complementos de el churrasco, está bien no me habría quejado si el sabor hubiese sido bueno pero la verdad solo comimos un pedazo y todo lo demás lo dejamos porque estaba demasiado mala y la salsa chimichurri era malísima, espero que cambien el corte de carne y si den un verdadero churrasco, para sus futuros clientes porque la verdad no me quedaron ganas de volver.
