Made to be shared

West African food is meant for the table — big pots of stew, rice that carries every spice, plantains straight from the pan, and plates passed from one hand to the next. It is food that brings people together.

Restaurant Gaï is a family-owned business. The recipes we cook have been passed down to us, and we are proud to share them with our neighbors in Iowa, whether it is your first taste of attiéké or a dish that reminds you of home.

When you dine with us, you dine with family. We take the time to cook each order fresh and to care for every guest, so your meal is one you remember long after the last bite.

Welcome — make yourself at home.
