Description

This late-night Bronx eatery specializes in homestyle West African cooking, drawing crowds for its flavorful kitchen output. The menu goes beyond the basics to offer dibi, kebabs, and comforting pots of egusi, okra, and pepper soup. A particular highlight is the braised fish, which locals praise for its rich, homemade seasoning. While the food is consistently well-received, the service can be eccentric; language barriers on the phone mean placing an order in person is often the easiest route to your meal.
