19 Extraordinary West African Restaurants in New York City

"Africana is located in Jamaica, close enough to JFK to catch the traffic. Unlike neighboring Tropical Grill, Africana seems like a small cafe rather than a nightclub. The classic beans with dodo (fried plantains) make a nice meal, with or without fried fish, or you might explore the multiple leaf- and seed-based sauces. They include egusi (made with melon seeds) and edikaikong (waterleaf and pumpkin). A range of mashes like fufu (white yam) and amala (cassava flour) are available to go with the sauces. This is real homestyle Nigerian cooking." - Robert Sietsema
