[Ordered Fish & Debe ] BOTH TRASH !!!! Fish was small All Bones NO MeAT Debe only came with like 8/10 pieces & came in a plastic bag wrapped up not even in a serving tray No Sides Included which is displayed on all they websites and menu so when I got there I had to pay extra for sides even tho it says it comes with 1 It’s Like They Put This Hot Yellow Mustard Stuff On Everything instead of seasoning and marinating the meat but it’s a learning experience tried to support local business instead o

As someone who has tried several different African restaurants, I can categorically say this is the best food I’ve tried! So many options that come in great portions. Lovely staff as well. If a proper Ghanaian/West African/Caribbean food is what you’re after, there’s no better place! They also have vegetarian, gluten free and halal option!

Great food and wonderful service for a good price. All food is weighted. The beans were on point

Do NOT recommend. Rice was bland Chicken tasted like rubber Sauce was too spicy I wasted my time here. The lady behind the counter assured me the food was freshly made and that it was NOT spicy. Neither was the case. I even heard her using the microwave to heat up my food. Never again!

I ordered from this restaurant on the 2nd of October with UberEats. I ordered Fufu with Egusi soup and Thiebou Guinar. It all costed me $48.42. With that price I paid I expected it to be amazing or something like that. No. It was not good. The egusi soup was not authentic. In fact I only got 3 pieces of meat. Lol. I don’t think they should serve it because it should be made authentically. The Thiebou Guinar was okay. At least my husband thinks so. It was lacking some flavor. They probably didn’t

This is a very dirty place to start, secondly, the portion size is very bad, it’s limit unrealistic! Lastly, customer service is basically equal to disrespecting people. That receptionist is not professional, very condescending and disrespectful.

Food is ok. There really is no service, just one person behind the register. Place looks really dirty and unkempt inside. There are much nicer options really close by. Probably why there are very few photos of the inside other than the food

Very disrespectful, music too loud, no class at all! You will do well to avoid this place and opt for a quieter location where you can actually enjoy your time with a quality lady.

Nice little dinner spot -- small menu but lots of variation. Had the garlic shrimp and a fish plate. It was a great spot to get a bite to eat and a drink before heading to a show at night. Service was good -- and we enjoyed our time.

Tried Lagos TSQ and had a mixed but memorable experience. I personally enjoyed my food, but baby wasn’t feeling theirs like that. The setup was super cute though, and they really made it feel special for my birthday 🎉—I loved that touch. Now let’s talk about the real star of the show: the drinks. 10/10, no notes. We actually came back the next day for happy hour, so that should tell you something. Overall, great vibes, great drinks, and a solid experience.

Jaare is a very good and welcoming restaurant and lounge. The fufu and egusi were very good and flavorful. The drinks were quite tasty, and I felt very full and good after the meal. Thank you again for hosting me, and I highly recommend Jaare!

First time having Ethiopian food, especially vegan. My experience was nothing short of amazing. The Beyaynetu, was delicious. The injera surprised me, it was slightly acidic and a bit tart, but it paired WELL with all the other sides. I got the $26 Beyaynetu (shared amongst 3 people), except the kale and beets option. This is how vegan food should taste. All the sides had their own flavor profile and even with mixing them, nothing overpowered the other! The sambusa with red lentils, were amazing

Went last year but forgot to post. INCREDIBLE food, lovely & fun atmosphere, & very friendly staff. Ethiopian food is always very vegan friendly anyway, but it was such a novelty to get to try vegan “meats” done Ethiopian style & enjoy the comforts of delights like Ethiopian-style vegan Mac & cheese. Dreaming of returning to this place 😍

Hole in the wall that produces the best Senegalese food Ive ever had. The lamb was incredibly tender and falling off the bone, spices were amazing and everything was well seasoned but not overpowering. The jollof rice complimented the dish well and the ginger juice was delicious and balanced out all the spices of the dish. The owner told me her mother was the chef and I absolutely believe it as it tasted like home cooking and was made with love. I have had this dish at other restaurants before,

Subject: Outstanding Service from Ola! I recently dined at Native Restaurant & Lounge. I must take a moment to highlight the exceptional service we received from our waiter, Ola. From the moment we sat down, Ola was incredibly attentive and made us feel welcomed and valued. He promptly took our drink orders and offered great recommendations from the menu, showing genuine knowledge and enthusiasm about the dishes. Throughout the evening, Ola was always nearby, ensuring our glasses were full an

Feels like a jackpot finding this place! The place and the food itself may look humble, but the food burst with flavor. Priced by the pound, really good price. It’s my first time trying African food, with a buffet style you can try many things at once. I tried the jollof rice with beef, some other beef in a red sauce, potato leaves soup, meatball in red sauce. All dishes were tasty! Truly a great alternative for those looking for tasty meal in the area. Def will come back.

Fouta Halal is an excellent African Halal restaurant that delivers bold, authentic flavors in every dish. Their lamb shank is incredibly tender and flavorful, falling off the bone with every bite. The grilled lamb is perfectly seasoned and juicy, while the fowl dish is rich and satisfying. The portions are generous, and the service is warm and welcoming. If you’re looking for a place that serves delicious, well-prepared African Halal food, Fouta Halal is a must-visit.

The customer service was extremely disappointing. The person I spoke to on the phone was very rude, nasty, and had a terrible attitude. She definitely should not be handling customer service if she is going to speak to customers that way. A negative interaction like that really ruins the overall experience although the food is amazing.

Each and every item was delicious, and it was such a variety of flavors. We had the Dibi Mouton, which was extremely juicy and flavorful. Just keep in mind, the mutton quantity is quite large. I can eat a lot, but even I couldn't finish it. Even the atieke and the salad that came with it worked as beautiful mouth refresher. Fataya too were tasty. Overall, it was a great experience. Will come here again.

Yatenga French Bistro remains a cherished destination in my culinary rotation, offering a delightful blend of French sophistication with unexpected global touches. The menu is refreshingly diverse, featuring not only classic French fare but also intriguing nods to Mexican cuisine, such as quesadillas and nachos, which add a playful twist to the dining experience. Among the daily specials, the branzino stands out as a personal favorite. Expertly prepared to order, whether whole or filleted, it e

Food was alright but I’m pretty sure I got scammed. Fish was pretty dry. The price was 22 for my meal and a drink and none of the prices were listed anywhere. And my food looks nothing alike like in the photo. I ordered a Waakye but I’m pretty sure I got half of what I was intended to get

I ordered the dibi lamb on my last visit and it was flavorful, but a little tough. The fries did not taste fresh (probably because they were cooked in an old oil). Also, make sure to call before coming here because the restaurant is not open 24h. REVIEW FROM 5 YEARS AGO: I love the grilled fish with fried yams. I wish there was more consistency in the size of the alloco slice though. I also love the salad, mainly because of the dressing. I would not recommend the dibi nor the leg of lamb as the

A truly outstanding dining experience. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it easy to relax and enjoy the moment. The food was prepared with great attention to detail, and the quality was consistent throughout. Service was friendly, attentive, and well paced. Every part of the visit felt thoughtfully managed, and it’s clear that high standards are maintained here.

I ordered Ceebu Jen for $14.00. Although this dish was great, I’ve definitely had better Ceebu Jen. The rice wasn’t as flavorful as the Ceebu Jen I’ve had in the past, and the fish was cold. My favorite part of the dish was the yam. It tasted so good! The re-warmed cabbage on the side was hard to eat. I enjoyed getting some crispy rice on the side for crunchiness! I waited a little less than 20 minutes for my meal. If I ever order again, I’ll order takeout since I didn’t enjoy the slightly st

This place hits every time. I ordered the Crispy Fish Bowl with extra rice, no wok veggies(I’m sure they’re amazing, just not a fan of veggies in general), and added Sweet Plantains on the side and honestly, the combination was perfect. The herb rice is so well-seasoned, the fish was crispy all the way through, and the creamy sauce with pickled onions on top tied everything together beautifully. But what really made the experience was Aliou. He was attentive, and genuinely made the visit feel

Very fresh and well seasoned food. Makes me really miss being in the motherland. This place is definitely one of my favorite places to eat in NYC.

I visited this restaurant during a recent trip to New York City, and it was truly a hidden gem. From the moment we arrived, the service was warm, attentive, and top-notch. The staff made us feel welcome and took the time to guide us through the menu. While I already enjoy certain West African dishes, my family and I are primarily American food eaters, so trying several new items was definitely outside of our comfort zone. I’m so glad we did because everything we ordered was absolutely delicious

It was serve yourself but you wouldn't know that because nobody tells you or greet you when you enter. The price of the food was great but the quality matched the price .....cheap. the meats were nice and tender, presentation was clean and beautiful. Temperature was good but the food had no flavor! The cassava leaf didn't taste like cassava leaf at all. I should've known better when I saw that jolif rice, it wasn't similar to any other ones I had seen before, but it was good in taste. I swore th

This is my favorite spot in the entirety of the Hugh in terms of main meals from what I've tried. The Super Suya bowl, for $16, is my preferred option here. Suya, for those who don't know, is basically a spiced peanut powder, and it goes wonderfully on top of grilled meats. My dish came with Jollof Rice (rice cooked in tomato broth,) Suya (grilled chicken with suya spice)- Kelewele (roasted sweet plantains,) Ndambe (black-eyed pea, sweet potato, okra stew,) Mafe (peanut sauce,) and Moyo (scotch

I wanted just okra soup mines came with with meat in it which i didn't ask for but then didn't mind but it was Very spicy ,didn't have an none spicy option,(uber eats) and the meat SUPER HARD wasn't cooked well done til it softened (pissed me off pregnancy craving went to a waste) dont get me wrong the taste was good! But once that meat almost broke my teeth it was over, so I just ate the little bit of stew without the meat and fufu, and the price not worth it $40 for this meal smh

I bought the Senegalese Dibi from here. It was really good. I love the fact that they included the mustard sauce in it. Thank you!

Tried Makina in Sunnyside and overall the food was very good. The injera bruschetta was super creative and really flavorful great balance of warm spices with a nice touch of acidity, and the fried injera chips were a smart idea. My only complaint is the portion ratio: they gave very few chips compared to the amount of bruschetta, so I had no choice but to order a whole extra side for $4.50, which felt unnecessary. The prawns were excellent nice amount of fat and smokiness, cooked really well. E

went in there to experience some african food and lemme tell you this place did not let me down. I ordered the dibi chicken and jollof rice and got a leaf drink that looks purple but wow mashallah it was amazing. the jollof rice with the chicken hit along with the plantains hit so hard. And that drink tasted so good it was all just an amazing experience and a great way to try out the cultures food. And Diallo is a great guy and so nice. Food was so good it made me forget about all my school prob

Really tasteless food. Everything tastes generic but definitely not Ghanaian. Staff are amazing but again, not Ghanaian. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here. It's edible, just not what I was looking for. Should be marketed as a generic Afro-fusion restaurant because it's definitely not Ghanaian flavors. Choffi and jollof had no spices. Disappointing.

I had this craving for ox tail dish, it is a buffet style, by weight. The place has about 5 or 6 tables in the back and when it was dinner time the place got full with people mostly for taking out. Evan though i came for ox tail that was a delight I couldn't resist and I had a same of the ribs,plantains, black eye pees, fried fish and salmon fish in a sauce. It took me 3 days to finish the food i took way too much lol All in all very good southern food. Go try it out.

Absolutely disgusting!! I ordered okra soup and goat and got oil soup and over cooked chunks of goat. Spending $30 for this meal just to be inedible is ridiculous!! Will never order from here again.

My first experience at D. Salam surly wii not be my last. I had an amazing and meaningful experience especially to find out that the woman who prepared the meals prepared them on her own for the day and although there were supposed to be other cooks to help her out there she'd been the only one to take on the responsibility. I enjoyed the music selection while waiting on my meal to be prepared. I also had the opportunity to watch the one coworker that did attend prepare Sorel for the fridge and

I came here around a decade ago. They did not have a buffet back then, as many of the reviews here state. I remember liking this food. The restaurant was empty when it was new, mostly because the neighborhood folks couldn't afford restaurant food. But I noticed a large staff, which gave me the impression of whoever opened this spot, did it with love. I'm Latin X of Caribbean Colombian and Coastal Ecuadorian decent. I came here to say, many Colombians would be shocked to find what Colombians bel

I’ve been wanting to try Waakye for the longest time via instagram. This captured exactly how I thought it would taste like. I got mine with goat meat, beef skin and fish. The beef skin was tender and delicious, the fish and the goat were a bit of a chew but they were good in flavor. The rice and beans were fluffy. The sauce that came with it, talk about flavor. Love when I eat something and EVERYTHING is seasoned well and perfectly made. And look at this presentation! Not only was it so good,

This place is my spot. I’m treated like family. I really enjoy the food, always a movie or good music playing, lots of laughs. Can’t complain at all. If anyone has a problem with this place then you are the problem. She makes my plate exactly how I like it.

Very delicious food and great service. Will visit again

My friend and I had never tried Senegalese food before and decided to stop here after just walking by. Great decision - the portions were generous and the food was superb, highly recommend.
