I went to Teranga with my friends and had a great time. Initially, we were planning to go to the location in lower Manhattan, but found out that location was closed over the weekend so we came to the Harlem one. So glad we did! I ordered the Salmon Jollof Bowl, which was really good. It hit my tastebuds in the right way, with this very sour onion sauce that came on the side which really sharpened the flavors of everything else on the plate. The okra and black-eyed pea stew was really good, but I wish there were a bit more of the okra in it. Also, I was looking forward to trying their baobab drink because I think the tree looks cute, but they didn't have it. So I had their limeade drink which was really good! I loved looking at the art exhibit in the center that Teranga is in. Such a good experience with hearty food that I won't forget!

The most satisfying meal that I have had in a while. I will be thinking of the chicken, plantains, and black-eyed peas for some time.

This place is AMAZING. We went back 3 times in a week. We have never had such good coffee. The meals are delicious. The service is absolutely friendly. All the very inspiring Afro-American atmosphere

The food at Teranga is consistently delicious at a price point that makes you want to come back…tomorrow! Jollof Salmon Bowl might be the tastiest deal in town. After strolling through Central Park or getting your fill at Museum Mile, why pay for overpriced food on the UES when you can head on over to Teranga? It will not disappoint!!

. The food does not live up to the aesthetically pleasing environment. In comparison to authentic Senegalese food, Teranga is mediocre at best. Your local Halal truck delivers more flavor per scoop of food ingested.

. Feels just as though you’re in a local upscale restaurant by the coast of Dakar. The mini museum is a plus!

. Staff is respectful, cordial, and accommodating.

Do yourself a favor and try this place! It was a recommendation and it was absolutely worth the trip. The food is so good and filling. I tried the salmon and have to come back for the Yassa Chicken. The juice was also delicious and paired really well with the meal.

I am kind of disappointed. For $20+ food should be better quality. My rice was extremely hard and the meat was very tough. The service was good they’re always respectful men.

The place is open only 2 days a week. They opened another one in midtown and that’s all they care about. They don’t care for Harlem at all. Why should you care for them?
