“Very nice atmosphere and good food.
Style full African designed interior, maybe the light was a little too bright but the rest was absolutely perfect.

The server was knowledgeable, super friendly and explained everything we wanted to know.

The presentation of the dishes was everything! Original and style full. Like a gift that was presented to you.

I had the lamb with asperges as a side my friend the chicken with the joloff rice. We had bites of each other and we both loved both dishes. A number of times she said those asperges are so good! And boy did I enjoy the Joloff rice!

The restaurant is also kid friendly. There was a nice family next to us with a seat for the little one and we enjoyed chatting with them for a bit.

We had a great time. You could see and feel in everything that the owner, has a passion for what he does and takes his craft very serious. A place I totally recommend.“

“I love this place! It is such a gem for the area! Great energy, awesome event options including comedy, music, special events! I recently went to an incredible special tasting menu that had northern Nigerian specialities that was mind blowing! Monday night comedy is always fun with great drinks from a great bar staff and energy. Alke is also open for coffee which is always nice especially to grab on a walk to the park with the pup or to sit outside when weather allows“

Truly a hidden gem. I would love to come back and try other things.“

“Alright so so listen. African restaurants are a lil different from American restaurants. Youre not coming here for the service, youre coming here for the food. The service isn't bad at all, but its just culturally different. Now THE FOOD ... BAYBEH! YOU WONT FIND ANYWHERE BETTER SO DONT EVEN LOOK. I dont know what the family recipe is but jesus im... there are few thanks that remain the same in NYC and im so grateful this food has. I have been coming here since I was a kid and I'm in my late 30s now. They used to be on 59. Then 116. Now their new location. I am just so glad that the recipes are still the same. So glad for that.“

“Walking into Yop City felt so warm and welcoming. We even got a chance to speak with the owner, who was super kind and passionate about sharing Ivorian food and culture. The food was incredible — the attiéké with fish was perfectly seasoned, and the alloco was fried just right, crispy and sweet. Portions are generous, and you can really taste the authenticity in every bite. This spot definitely makes you feel at home, and I’ll be coming back again and again.“

“Nice family restaurant. My first visit & taste of S. African french cuisine. Not too many place can offer good food at a reasonable price. This place does. Service was good. I had the Escargot & Tunisian Sausage. Both good. I like french food, but don't have it often since it's very rich. My hubby enjoyed the broiled Lamb chop. We shared the chocolate mousse torte. It was perfect, not too sweet. The flavors of the meal was spot on. Not overly salted, sweetened nor was there msg like most restaurants these days. Overall, I would go back & recommend this little gem. Our friend, long time patrons of La Baracka, had the AYCE lunch, which they enjoyed.“

Jalloh African • $
3396 Third Ave, Bronx - 6.9 miles

“One of the few places in NYC where you can find food from Guinea! Definitely worth traveling up to the Bronx to eat off jalloh’s massive buffet, where breadth is matched by depth in flavor. The food remains high quality (fresh, not too greasy or salty), even at 11:30pm when I visitedI particularly loved the Dhapa et Folêrê , a Guinean grits dish, where the corn is fresh ,fragrant, and unbelievably variegated in texture. You can also choose to eat the folêrê with dishes like bourakhé (cassava leaves stewed in palm oil and smoked fish), a winning combo that delicately juxtaposes the stew's smoke and heat with the mellow and earthy flavors of the grits. Or if you’re craving the smooth and silky texture of okra, there’s maffi gumbo that pairs very well with grits. The options here are endless..“

“A great lineup of African cuisine options. As a picky eater, I usually stick to what I know but this time I wanted to try something different and I was pleased. The white rice with goat meat stew was good; I’m not a fan of spicy food so the savory flavors were put together very well. The plantain that I had added to the dish, gave it exactly what it needed. This is not my first time at the location so I can identify that the service could be better and more hospitable. I’m a person that likes to ask questions before purchasing or before inputting food into my body so I appreciate when people take the time to be attentive. Besides that, I will likely be trying their food again as they have a wide selection ranging from meats and stews to different starches.“
