- MMatashaChicago / Illinois •1 review5.0Dined on Apr 29, 2025This restaurant is beautiful and quaint. Our server Linda was very personable and professional. The food was 10/10! One of the items we ordered was not available and they gave us the substitution option at half price! Very accommodating and love the overhead music playing. This was by far the best food I have tasted from a soul food restaurant! Not too salty or too sweet, nothing was overcooked or undercooked. Pure perfection! Would definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone.More infoSoulé to SouléPrice: Moderate• Soul food• West Town•4.5
