The Best Senegalese Restaurants In Harlem

"On a recent visit to the takeout window inside Le Baobab Gouygui, the cashier listened to us list off lamb and fish in okra-thickened palm oil sauce and plenty of other dishes, before eventually letting us know that there were only three items available at that time. We quickly realized there would’ve been no wrong way to go about ordering. The fish in the thieboudienne has skin so salty and crispy it tastes like fried chicken skins, and the tender chicken yassa is smothered in lemony, onion-heavy sauce. The one dish that you need to prioritize, though, is lamb mafe, which has a ton of peanut butter flavor, along with the intense gaminess of a rare lamb chop." - matt tervooren
