The food is yummy but the attitude of the waitress is awful. I have been a faithful customer since 2020. I called several times today to place and order the person I spoke with literally hung up on me. I wish they treat their customers better.

This was my favorite place when I visit New York but I had the worst experience today with the server trying to scam us with a 18% gratuity for two . The menu mentioned that it’s for party of 3 and more . I mentioned that to her knowing that I’ll still tip her . She started raising voice and lying that the night shift gratuity is different. I had the worst experience. Please look at your check carefully before you pay.

I really wanted this place to be good but this is probably the worst lamb dish I’ve ever had. I got the maffe lamb. It came out smelling good, but the meat was RAW and COLD in the center. When I let the staff know, she didn’t really understand me and just brought me a different plate (felt like it was microwaved). The actual stew was just full of fat and bones, so the great pricing is not worth it. Super disappointing.

If you are in Harlem and you are looking for some tasty Senegalese food (Yassa, Thiep, etc) or fresh drinks (Bissap and so forth) and why not some good burgers, you must stop by! Ps. Of course, feel free to order in French!

Update: I like that they renovated the place. It is brighter and more spacious, but during the winter months, it gets very cold inside as people open the door to come in. I had to keep my coat on. Foodwise, the grilled dibi lamb has remained the best dish on the menu. I do not like that the servers are not consistent with serving the bread and mayonnaise. Service is minimal and quite slow. Review from 3 years ago (4 star rating): this is one of my favorite West African (Senegalese) restaurants in NYC. I love anything "grilled" on the menu. On my last visit, the nems were tasty and the shell perfectly crisp. The pastries are sinfully delicious. However, the shawarma was not good. The pita was too soft. Also, the burger beef patty was dry and tasteless. Just stick with the grilled dishes on the menu. I like the restaurant's ambiance. The owner and servers are very welcoming.
