D. Salam African Cuisine

At this Canal Street kitchen, the focus is on hearty West African classics. The fufu is made to order, yielding a fresh pairing for the tender lamb—though the preparation takes some time. Patrons also point to the goat jollof rice served with sweet plantains, which help offset the salt of the seasoned meat, as well as the lamb dibi. While waiting for your meal, you can listen to the music selection or watch the staff bottle the house-made sorrel.
