19 Extraordinary West African Restaurants in New York City
"On the fringes of Mott Haven in the south Bronx, Balimaya (“kinship”) features the food of Ivory Coast front and center, and other West African cuisines at the whim of the cook. Attieke served with fish — fried whole fish on a bed of fermented manioc meal — is always available, and there are also Guinean leaf-based sauces and peanut stews from Senegal with lamb or chicken. Balimaya is a nice casual place on a major thoroughfare." - Robert Sietsema
