Resy highlighted Two Hommés as an Inglewood success story built by chef-owners Marcus “Chef Mando” Yaw Johnson and Abdoulaye “Chef AB” Balde, whose Afrocentric cooking is shaped by Los Angeles, Ghanaian and Senegalese influences, and the communities they grew up in.
The feature walks through the restaurant's path from pandemic-era pop-ups and market appearances into a permanent home, noting how the project grew without major outside backing and turned into a recognizable part of the local dining conversation.
It also spotlights the food and drinks that define the restaurant's point of view, alongside the 2024 dining room refresh that helped the space feel more personal, warmer, and more reflective of the world the team wanted to invite guests into.
Why This Story Matters
This coverage frames Two Hommés as more than a restaurant mention. It positions the team as builders with a distinct voice, a strong neighborhood connection, and a menu shaped by lived experience rather than trend-chasing.
