Teranga From Chef Pierre Thiam Opens in NYC
"Teranga means 'hospitality' in Wolof, so guests should expect a warm, welcoming environment as soon as they walk through the doors of this new restaurant on the first floor of The Africa Center, located just across from Central Park. Chef Pierre Thiam offers an entirely gluten-free, pan-African menu consisting of customizable plates, different seasonal bowls—such as the 'Fu-Fu' seasonal featuring red palm and plantain fufu with peanut sauce, 'ndambe' (black-eyed pea, sweet potato and okra stew) and 'attiéké' (fermented cassava)—and an array of snacks and beverages." - Aaron Hutcherson
