"Located in the Soundview section of the Bronx, which is now home to many West African immigrants from Senegal and Guinea, Fouta’s halal menu combines dishes from both cuisines. The interior has a clubhouse feel, and men sit around in robes and skullcaps eating bowls of fluffy white polished rice and sauce de feuilles made with sweet potato leaf, or lamb mafe decorated with a single scotch bonnet pepper. First-time visitors are made welcome, and French and English are readily spoken." - Robert Sietsema
