West African grain bowls with customizable ingredients & spicy plantains
"All of Teranga’s customizable market bowls make for ideal takeout options if you don’t want to share a spread with someone else. But if you’re with a group, order a bunch of their West African bowl components in bulk, like spicy roasted plantains or sweet potato and black-eyed pea stew. The whole menu, including drinks like hibiscus juice and mezcal margaritas, is available directly through their website from 12-8pm Thursday through Sunday." - hannah albertine
"Pierre Thiam's well-loved restaurant offering West African cuisine." - Paolo Bicchieri
"Get delivery or takeout from this West African spot when you want a colorful bowl of health. We like the DIY grain bowl with fonio and garlicky chicken with a side of spicy fried plantains." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, bryan kim, arden shore, matt tervooren
"After a long hiatus, Teranga, the West African fast-casual restaurant from Pierre Thiam, stationed inside Harlem’s Africa Center returns this weekend." - Emma Orlow
"This casual restaurant across from Central Park is where you’ll find Senegalese chef and cookbook author Pierre Thiam’s take on West African food. Grab a spot in a spacious dining room that’s decorated with colorful murals, and order via your table’s QR code. Make your own bright and flavorful grain bowl by pairing steak, salmon, chicken or a couple of vegetarian options with attieke or jollof rice, then add sides and sauces like yassa, packed with caramelized onions. Try all of the accompanying hot sauces, and remember that they have some tasty pre-bottled cocktails—very useful when you’re just across the street from the northeast corner of Central Park." - neha talreja, sonal shah, hannah albertine
