"B&B Restaurant is a steam-table, pay-by-the-pound buffet founded in 2009 in Chelsea. Typically, it offers dozens of recipes adapted from several West African, North African, and Middle Eastern countries. Sometimes African American, Jamaican, and Haitian food is included, as well. This sort of place can’t be beat for a taste of the West African diaspora, even though the quality and heat level vary. Limited seating is available." - Robert Sietsema

Intro: I found the restaurant luckily as I was nearby! I made my own plate with the items of my choice, as the food is all in front of you. You have to take it by your self like buffet style! I personally really loved this style. Taste: I ate different types of chicken! I really loved the taste. I'm going back there for the black colored chicken as it was really spicy ( see in the photo). Payment: You pay by weighing your food! Look up at price on top of cashier for instruction. Expectations: (1) Homemade style African & American food (2) healthy food (3)crowd (4)pick your own food (5)Eat in (6)Halal Take care! Have a good life🤪

I'm very impressed with this place. The food is very tasty, is a bufete kind of spot, you pay per weight. Is very affordable and delicious!, and you have many, many options!, different options of salads, stews, salsas, and sides. Everything was so good! Is not a fancy place, however is very clean and I can tell they made the food with Love. I had to thanked the cook personally - that good guys! I'm definitely going back! I highly, highly recommend this place!

B&B is halal buffet style African food. There are large pans of food kept warm. It leans towards stewed options and is a bit on the greasy side. Flavors cover a wide range so if you know exactly what you like and want, if they have it out and you serve yourself a nice portion, you're golden. If you're unsure, you may be very disappointed. A very good late night value option when choices are limited. It's less appealing when more is available. It's good for what it is but go with tempered expectations.

Hungry, in the streets of NYC me and my friend ran into this gem. We were not expecting this at all… We walked in here and looked at all the amazing food this place had to offer. Were suppose to do take away but couldn’t resist and made our plates here. The food had tons of flavor. A lot of flavor. Has to be probably some of the best food I have ever had. A solid 5/5 from me.

African food buffet style. Just 2-3 tables. Best to take it to go. The place looks like a corner Bodega but all the shelves removed and buffet stations put in instead. The price point is good. Less expensive than other buffet style in the area. Just becareful of what you pick. There was just the 1 lady at the cashier so no one is around to explain what everything was. Nothing was labeled... my friend got 2 pieces of meat that looked like a dry beef stew but turned out to be liver lol. Everything I picked, looked good and tasted good 😀 Something i picked was spicy but I still ate it while fanning my mouth LOL

Wow!!! What a find! I ate at this place three nights in a row! Something different each time! There's like half a dozen types of rice dishes alone! Super friendly people, TV is on and lots of loud discussions and talking going on on a really alive atmosphere!

I had lunch at B and B, located at 165 west 26th Street. I bought one plate of food mixed. The food was taste. The cashier lady (Alpha Barry) charge double the amount for the food, when I asked her she told it is tax. $14 food tax is $13. Unbelievable.
