African restaurants in NYC?

[Cave Savage]

Have any of you been to African restaurants in New York? I really want to try Ghanaian, Nigerian, and Senegalese food, and I'm guessing that it can all be found in New York, Harlem and the West Bronx in particular. My Ghanaian friend gave me some of his mom's Jollof rice and now I'm very interested. Are there any places you'd recommend?

There's a pretty good spot on 127th and Lenox called Lenox Sapphire...they make some pretty good Senegalese food in a nice setting with good service

There's an Ethiopian spot on Court St in Brooklyn called Awash that I've been meaning to try because I walk and drive by it from time to time. It's not a WA spot, but it's the only other African restaurant that I've really noticed

I'm also open to Ethiopian and Eritrean restaurants, but I didn't bring it up because I figured their population wasn't that high in New York.

But thanks for the suggestions

When in BK cafe rue dix is a must

Try Papaye Restaurant on Sheridan Ave(just off the Concourse and 167th) in the BX. BEST Ghanaian joint in the city i've ever had. Their jollof rice out of this world . But they're a bit stingy on the meat if you allow them to.

Buka is also a great Nigerian joint i've been to. LOVE their Suya meat and their jollof is great too(though our Ghanaian version is superior) . The interior restuarant design is quite fancy compared to many other African joints in the city. Tho that's quite a trip deep in Brooklyn i won't be making again for quite some time.

And like a few posters also said before, try Lenox Sapphire in Harlem for Senegalese food. It almost feels like going into a bar with the way the place is made. Their pastry selection and lamb selection
