“We ordered for pick up, it was our first time ordering from this restaurantWe ordered•thiebou yapp - rice with lamb it was a lot of meat (generous amount )and my picky child enjoyed the meal, im glad it wasn’t spicy because I prefer the spicy paste on the side.we rate the meal 8/10 according to our picky eater child ?• yassa- chicken with onions- I enjoyed it, however it was just a overly oily ?? not sure if it’s supposed to be that way. If it wasn’t too oily I will rate it 8/10Will definitely come back for the thiebou yapp with extra spicy paste on the side.We were not able to take picture on our take out due to hunger ?“
“I recently dined at a West African restaurant in Harlem. Tried for the Senegalese chicken, I was a bit disappointed as the meat turned out to be rather dry, accompanied by rice that shared the same fate. The calamari offered a slight redemption, being acceptable in taste. However, the standout feature of the experience was the friendly demeanor of the staff, who made the visit more enjoyable despite the culinary letdown.Overall, while the ambiance and service were pleasant, the food failed to impress, leaving much to be desired in terms of flavor and texture.“
“What would a nice Jewish boy from the Bronx know about Senegalese food? Enough to know a FANTASTIC restaurant when he eats in one. Africa Kine's Dibe Mutton--marinated, spiced lamb chops--are simply off-the-charts. Also wonderful is the Pintade, which in Union Square Market is called "guinea fowl" and sells for $20/lb.It is as though an entire chicken were dark meat, and at Africa Kine it is roasted to perfection. And the whole fried snapper was delectable. Order two entrees for three people, because portions here are very generous. Did I mention the Joloff rice? It is magnificent. The dining room of the restaurant is simple and homey, and you see families, and girls' night out, and some men eating alone, all in a welcoming space that feels like a tavern, minus the alcohol. All three times I visited my waiter was the astute Papui (I am not spelling it correctly) whose bouncing braids crown a very smart head and a megawatt smile. He contributes no small part to what gives you the feeling you have discovered a great place at Africa Kine. Now if I could just learn to pronounce Ngalakh. HIghly recommended.“
“Absolutely delicious! Came twice in a span of 5 days. This is a hidden gem that l wish l knew about sooner. Portions are insane, the taste is authentic and fresh and it feels like you’re eating straight from a Senegalese home. 100% recommend. Prices are unmatchable on top of that.“
“Nice restaurant, the food is delicious and the people are nice.My friends took me there to eat after my graduation ceremony. Guess what the manager surprised me with an envelope that says congratulations from Jacob’s team. $100 in the envelope. I was shocked, I almost cry…Thank you to the all team??❤️.“
“What an awesome place. Every dish was served perfectly. We had a happy accident where we got the whole fried fish and I just had to unbutton my pants. And the music is a vibe. I would get up and dance at my table if I wasn’t about to roll away. I’m stuffed. Wait, what’s for dessert?“
“I came here with my father and two brothers. We had ACHIÈKÈ with fish, chicken, and pintad. My dad had the Fonio with the fish sauce. Absolutely amazing. They also have gun powder tea which is a staple in west Africa and is a great strong pick me up. Great people, great banter with the old heads in there, and just a nice atmosphere. We felt right at home. Merci a vous tous ??“
“Very good place to eat African and organic food in New York, we were there with my colleagues during our 3 week stay in New York and we ate in this restaurant almost all the time, we eat like at home, like in the country I loved itKid-friendliness: Yes!“
“HONESTLY YOU WONT FIND A NICE RESTAURANT AS THIS OPEN 1 AM IN THE MORNING in Harlem I had grilled Tilapia amazing everything tasted good. I'd definitely recommend this Athuentic Senegalese Restaurant for dining in great service big meals for youre money just make sure you order from the counter and have a seat at one of the tables and shortly after I was served. Definitely going back again.“
“I happened to be walking by on Sunday so stopped in for lunch. I’m so glad I did - this place is awesome! I haven’t had much West African food but it was all very flavorful and well prepared. They have a number of sets you can order that come with a meat and a couple sides - I went with the yassa grilled chicken and it was delicious. It’s in the African cultural center and I found the space really nice abd decorated with beautiful photography. I’ll be back!“
