Was looking for restaurants that had jerk chicken, and gave Teranga a try. I ordered the Yassa yap and jerk chicken with greens. The presentation and temperature were good, the jerk chicken and the side of rice were extremely delicious! The chicken was soft and flavorful. The rice was regular white rice but so web cooked, I loved it. I was not a fan of the Yassa yap which is lamb because the meat was chewy and it was mostly fat rather than meat. Also, the greens were not that great because they were mooshy. Overall, it was good to give it a try, I will try their oxtails next time.

The best fusion Afro-Caribbean food out there! Loved the Thiebu Djeun and their fresh ginger drink is divine; generous portions too...

We finally got our African food after being refused service up the street from 221 restaurant. At Teranga the food is good and all cultures are welcome.

I used to eat there regularly but one day I went in and waited at the register to order, the lady at the front was taking a phone order. As I was waiting, there is a small window next to the door that they use to walk in the kitchen. I happen to look through the window and saw a man putting something on their cooking surface that had tails on it. Not sure what it was, I asked the lady what is that and she yelled something to the people in back, she wouldn't answer me so I left. Be careful

I get takeout from here often- the flavors are so great- the prices are too good to pass up

The staff was kind. The place had a steady stream of customers so we knew the food had to be good, and it was! We had the dibi, chicken yassa, jerk chicken, and maffe. Tasted like authentic Senegalese food.

Great food! My favorite is the Maffe (which is peanut butter soup with potatoes, carrots and lamb) and the oxtails.

Seating area small, counter service, a little bit of a wait, but oh was it worth it. Had the michoui gigot (leg of lamb with onion sauce) was absolutely fantastic. Their jerk wings were the best wings I have ever had.

The flavor of the protein was amazing ... lamb and oxtails were tender. Jerk was dry but flavorful. big problem is the pre cooked rice and peas that were dry from sitting too long and undercooked cabbage

Food was very well seasoned and prepared. I have sampled many items from the menu and they never disappoint.
