Akiko B.Akiko Bombita: Big portions of slammin food. Fried plantains are so good w/ the fish and the onion salad. And the ginger drink is spicy and sweet. Don't sweat the service for sit down dining. Take out takes forever.

The Corcoran GroupThe Corcoran Group: Delicious Senegalese food, although the service is not great. Try one of their daily lunch specials (weekends too)…a whole lot of food for $10. Try the Thiebu Djen, it’s awesome.

Harlem A.Harlem Ambassador: A Senegalese staple in the heart of Little Senegal. Come here for your standards like Thiebou Djeune. The dining style is very communal, but they will get up and give your own table if you're American

Matthew C.Matthew Caldecutt: Have been eyeing this place for a while and was glad to have finally tried their brunch -- fast service and tasty food. Arrive early as they get crowded after 1 PM, it seems.
