The kitchen clearly values both flavor and appearance. I value how they've crafted their space. I've ordered differently each visit and always enjoy it. I relaxed completely in this welcoming environment. Other restaurants simply don't compare.

I appreciate the restaurant and surrounding blocks. Their meals show both technical skill and good taste. Sylla! You really understand what customers want. I noticed his ability to talk with various customers. Our group treated it as something special.

The experience stands confidently among my top dining moments. Employees respond to inquiries with positive attitudes. The vibe here has been right from the start. Sylla delivers solid results. Another visit is absolutely essential.

Tasty food, warm and comfortable atmosphere and lovely, attentive staff. We had a chance to meet the owner which was very nice. Sylla is a hidden gem in Harlem.

I came here with a group of friends and we had a great night! I ordered the Dibi lamb with white rice and a side of vermicelle. It was so good, the lamb was flavorful and not dry. And this was the first time I had vermicelle but it was also delicious, especially the sauce on top. My friend ordered the tilapia with jollof and they were also delicious. The staff were kind and helpful and the portions were large enough to share. I highly recommend coming here. Also, they accept card except you need to take cash for tipping.

I just needed a meal that day but found a new favorite place. Food came out quickly thanks to excellent staff work. Their decoration style was appealing. They understand appropriate serving for the cost. New to the area, I was thrilled to find this spot.

Each team member we encountered was both professional and friendly. The staff show kindness and offer assistance. The quality of what they use really stands out. The restaurant delivers reliability. See for yourself if this place delivers.
Wooooww, come and eat. Just do it. You won't regret it. I want to try everything on this menu; I've already had a taste of half. I'm so excited to visit again.

Food is real good. but I found hairs wrapped around my lamb .. I’ll probably give this place one more try. Hopefully this time will be no hair in the food and it was long hair too.

My fiance and I went here on our first date, and we loved it! The peanut butter stew is the right amount of spice and the plantain fufu was delicious. The fish and atikeh were also so well cooked and flavorful. The portions are big, so we carried home to go. We’ll definitely be back!
