We came on Saturday at 3:30, there were only certain items from the menu available but the Thiebou Yapp (lamb stew) and Thiebou Guinar were great. Lots of food. I really liked how there was a bit of crispy rice on all the dishes and olive / onion sauce. Good price, small place but we were able to get seated tho it was crowded.

The food was incredibly good. This spot was recommended by a Senegalese friend. We asked the cashier (who doubles as the waitress too) what dishes she would recommend and she didn't miss. The ginger juice is definitely worth having.
It got very noisy as more patrons came in and I wish they can try to watch this part because it can be slightly annoying when you can't hear the person you are dining with.

It was for lunch after my daughter’s college graduation. The service was slow to me. We sat there for a good while before someone came to our table. I don’t think they gave us a menu. However, we ordered the food and drinks. Pineapple ginger beer was the best drink I had. Food was also very good. It was a lot of food. I wish the server explained more about the dishes. They were more attentive for other people. Maybe they were regular customers? Even though I was not impressed by their service, the food was worth it.

The food is actually sooo good. Portion size is ridiculous, ingredients are high quality. Beware they might not be ready to serve lunch menu items until 1:30 or 2pm (or maybe that's just because I went on a Sunday). Also they only offer a subset of the menu each day. Regardless, I think the food is really outstanding and inexpensive.

Amazing portions for an amazing price. Definitely one of the best and most underrated Restaurants in Harlem. Food is seasoned well and will absolutely fill you up
