African Restaurants in New York, NY

“My wife and I generally eat for five people, we ordered 4 small plates and 2 mains, still looking into dessert. Each dish had its own layer of perfection with unique flavors and exquisite presentation. I’d say a restaurant on its way to becoming Michelin…..bravo! Oh and the ole school hip hop added to the vibe. Enjoyed this dinner date immensely!👏👏👏👏😍😍😍😎😎😎“

“I celebrated my cousin's birthday last October at Lagos restaurant and Lounge was great“

“Chef D and her team catered my wedding and I cannot thank them enough for the outstanding experience! We are West African (notoriously not easy to impress when it comes to food) and I had guests jumping for seconds and still singing praises one week later. Leading up to the wedding, Chef D was incredibly responsive, professional and flexible. She came to the venue herself with her team to help set up the buffet and make sure everything was properly and beautifully presented. I cannot thank her and the entire Berber Street Food team for the best evening! Looking forward to working with you all again for my next event!“
