If you are in Harlem and you are looking for some tasty Senegalese food (Yassa, Thiep, etc) or fresh drinks (Bissap and so forth) and why not some good burgers, you must stop by! Ps. Of course, feel free to order in French!

I've been going to this place since opening inception. They serve breakfast, lunch, dinner and have a separate cafe with an array of hot beverages and pastries. Everything ive had here has been superb and delicious! However, they do not serve alcohol. They do offer byob though without a corking fee which is actually better and more cost effective so no matter to me. My favorite dish dinner here is the Thiebou Djen which is a fish dish with crumbled rice and vegetables. Their scotch bonnet hot sauce compliments this dish very well. If you're into hot sauce, ask for this. For pastries, I love their chocolate croissants with an unsweetened cappuccino. For lunch they have a delicious lox sandwich. 😍 I would have given this place 5 stars but the service could be kind of slow at times. Other than that, if you're patient, want tasty food and friendly service.....This place is a must visit!!

Update: I like that they renovated the place. It is brighter and more spacious, but during the winter months, it gets very cold inside as people open the door to come in. I had to keep my coat on. Foodwise, the grilled dibi lamb has remained the best dish on the menu. I do not like that the servers are not consistent with serving the bread and mayonnaise. Service is minimal and quite slow. Review from 3 years ago (4 star rating): this is one of my favorite West African (Senegalese) restaurants in NYC. I love anything "grilled" on the menu. On my last visit, the nems were tasty and the shell perfectly crisp. The pastries are sinfully delicious. However, the shawarma was not good. The pita was too soft. Also, the burger beef patty was dry and tasteless. Just stick with the grilled dishes on the menu. I like the restaurant's ambiance. The owner and servers are very welcoming.

The Lady behind the counter was. Not nice.. as if she had an Attitude or annoyed for some reason. I ordered Debbie and sorel Spent $44.. Sweet plantains was old and refied. Debbie was OK not the best I've received. Why do they treat black Americans this way unacceptable.
