Get the Niokolokoba, a.k.a. the best steak au poivre you'll ever eat. It's large enough to go splitty-splitty, or will be delish the next day. Swap out the fries for potato gratin.

Cocktails were fresh and delicious- ginger and passion fruit. The mussels were delicious and decent portion as well- a bit creamy for my liking.

Hidden neighborhood gem. Chef Cassis is happy to explain the French cuisine with N African twist he grew up with and refined under Boulud.

Excellent Food. If they have it, try the asparagus salad. Great service, but their air conditioning needs an update.
Katy AoyagiMay 11, 2013
Amazing mussels in African spices and the braised branzino is delicious. The food is always solid here and the live jazz is an added bonus.

Omg this place is surprisingly fantastic! For entrees, get the lamb and the fish that's stuffed with crab

Block association president Arlene Harrison recommends the chicken tajine, but also try the Niokolokoba — the signature dish, a grilled sirloin steak marinated with spices and a black peppercorn sauce

My fave is the africana moules frites and mushroom risotto. The sauce is spicy and rich, ask for more bread for dipping!

Try the traditional Senegalese dishes which are delicious. Great service and even better drinks.

This place has the best french onion soup I have ever had. It is hard for me to eat french onion soup anywhere else than this place.
Jacob LazingerFebruary 10, 2013
French onion soup and Mac and cheese are two exceptional apps. Lobster blt and Asian steak salad are great meals.

The lobster BLT was the best dish I've had in a very long time, and I go out to eat more than anyone I know.

Loved the mussels in African spices and the braised branzino with sweet plantain.

Amazing lobster blt. Their chipotle mayo is a must, and their 2 for 1 martini specials (Ina whole host of flavors) are unbeatable. The lamb burger is a great twist on a standard.

Mussels, shrimp, & cheese puffs! Happy Hour: 2 for 1 Martinis until 7pm and bottomless brunch for $25!!

The crispy tuna was incredible. Skip the chicken yassa and get the lamb tangine!

Veggie plate, extra artichoke instead of peppers. To die for
Cristina DeganiMay 10, 2012
Try the Chicken Yassaa, a little bit spicy, but very healthy and with lot of flavor! :)
Danielle HamburgerSeptember 6, 2013
Get the truffle Mac n cheese. Bomb!! Everything was good though- enjoy!
Zoe CareyDecember 11, 2016
Took 35 minutes to order, 50 to get the food. The food was wrong when it came. They lost my friend's credit card, and charged my other friend twice. They refused to comp the food or apologise. Avoid!

This place is amazing! Definitely try it!

Lobster and shrimp entree salad, one of the best cooked lobsters in NYC.
