Place for handmade bagels, spreads & deli items by a couple who began their business as a stand.
Amazing Bagels, asked for it to be trastes and it was super warm and creamy. The hot chocolate was also very good, only problem is they don’t have espresso coffee. There is a bit of fume coming from the open kitchen, but nothing too strong.

Casual Mexican joint serving up tacos & burritos alongside margaritas & beers from the bar.
I’m a harlem native so i stand on business when it comes to good local spots. Cantina is one of them, strong drinks, grey good, good prices, good music and energy. The only downside to my experience recently was the AC being down and it being 80+ outside. Sweating and drinking is a bad combo if you’re trying to be out all night. Food wise i recommend the tacos, andy one of them honestly. I have the fish taco, chili lime and the mango chicken tacos, with a strawberry and goat cheese salad. ( Tha

To be fair, I didn’t eat at the restaurant. I ordered through Grub Hub but the food was excellent even for a delivery. I ordered the Fluffie Filled Mac & their signature chicken sandwich. Both were good but I played myself. It was more food than I thought. Either way, you will not regret ordering from this spot.

French & West African cuisine are served alongside house cocktails in a warm, dark-wood bistro.
I stopped into the restaurant to get lunch. When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked in and was greeted. The place was cozy and busy. I was sat and served by Mohammed and he was super nice. I ordered: Ginger Martini Moules Mariniere (white wine sauce) Truffle Macaroni and cheese Dibi Haoussa (Rack of Lamb, couscous, spinach) Homemade Tirimisu The food was really tasty and my favorite was the Moules! It was so tasty with flavors! All in all a good experience!

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,

This is my first time here. Is so true what they say. The food and the amount they give. I ordered a large oxtail, a large curry goat, a large order of curry chicken wow tasteful and a beef patty. Now they have a customer for life. I don’t have to go nowhere else but this spot yes is a line but let me tell you it’s worth it just be patient. She will come out. Take your order and I’m eating right now. I’m eating jerk chicken curry goat oxtail this place is a 5 Star a 5 Star matter of fact, beyond

Stylish, relaxed Italian neighborhood cafe in Lower Harlem known for its desserts.
At this point I’m just repeating what everyone reading the other comments should already know - the owners of this place are very present and take an active role in ensuring customer satisfaction. I walked in Tuesday night to place a bakery order I needed for work Thursday morning. One of the owners, Leah, walked in right after me and made sure I got exactly what I wanted and it was delivered from the bakery to the restaurant Wednesday night for pickup. 10/10 customer service and everything I or

This no-frills eatery grills up all-day breakfasts & burgers plus deli-style sandwiches & hot wings.
We’ve lived in South Harlem for a year and a half, and have thus far been a little disappointed with the local food and restaurant options. There have been a few notable exceptions, however… and today, we found a BIG ONE in Jumbo Hamburgers. It’s small, and divey, but adorable in its own way… with the countertop and stools evocative of the old “soda shop” days. The server who put our order together was amazing. She did not write a single thing down, and despite our order being pretty sizable, t

Relaxed Indian restaurant featuring traditional dishes such as biryani & tandoori, plus a patio.
A Taste of India in Harlem You Won’t Forget! Indian Summer is easily my favorite Indian restaurant in Harlem. It’s honestly hard to try anywhere else because they never disappoint. The staff is always respectful and quick to help whenever you need anything, and I’ve never had a bad experience here. If you’ve never had Indian food before, this is the place I’d recommend starting with. It’s also a great spot for celebrating special occasions like birthdays or anniversaries. Dishes I recommend tryi

Always a line. Deep in the Harlem ghetto, this place is a gem! I got salmon and pork ribs. Both excellent. I've had their roasted full chickens, spanish rice and beans, plantains, and love it! This is the type of place you bring home a massive bag of food to your family in New jersey on a Friday after work! Bonus - the dessert fridge has some delicious treats!!!

Baby, when I say beautiful—this place is absolutely gorgeous 🤏🏾! It was a cute little dinner and conversation spot for me and my husband. When we were greeted, our waiter suggested trying the cosmopolitan, which was the drink special of the night. We’re not big vodka fans, but we decided to step out of our comfort zone—and it was actually a nice surprise! We started with the soy and parmesan garlic wings. The soy wings were divine, packed with flavor and perfectly cooked. The parm garlic ones,

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.

Bustling eatery serving family-style portions of African cuisine in an intimate, dimly-lit space.
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.

Bakery chain known for warm cookies, ice cream & late-night deliveries.
Insomnia Cookies is always consistent. Ordered a 🍪Choc cookie and was not disappointed. Very fresh and warm. Customer service was on point, very friendly and warming. No image of the cookie, it didnt make it outside and I cant enjoy and have my phone out. One thing at a time and I chose the 🍪.

Buzzing destination with an arty urban vibe serving classic Asian comfort food, plus cocktails.
Let’s begin with the vibes in there .. it was cute and the music was good too . BUT literally that was it … the food !? Disgusting. waste of money . Our waiter ? Was super nice and fast . But ugh the food I can’t get over it . The filet mignon bites ? Isssaaa a no . I ordered it well done . Some pieces was RARE & soggy 🤮 . The rice was dry ! The only thing I ate was the noddles . And where they sat me at was in the most awkward table of all time . Literally in the middle of all these others tab

Got the prix menu, it was absolutely what I was looking for. I got the corn and coconut soup, the favors were well balanced, I absolutely loved the fried onions and some pickled red peppers that were a lovely touch to the sweetness and savory. Then I had carne asada with tostones, I will be coming back for this. Perfect! Sure I did not choose the medium rare as the chef suggests but medium was more than fine, the arugula with steak is always a favorite, but that mojito with the tostones was trul

Stylish, casual eatery featuring à la carte & fixed-price menus of traditional French bistro fare.
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

I’m always on the look out for an African restaurant that also serves some good African vegan food. I called ahead before ordering to make sure what I wanted was 💯 vegan. This is my first time eating from this restaurant and everything I ordered was delicious and full of flavor although it was a little oily but I still enjoyed it! The bissap drink was also tasty and rich in flavor! I ordered thru GRUBHUB for lunch. The portions are large for the price! I will be visiting one day to sit and enjo
