Pamela C: Don't use your Starbucks voice in here. It's super quiet with NO coffee shop din.
Brody Lawson: Came here for the first time just to have a coffee and do some work on my laptop. It’s a chill spot. Definitely a hidden gem and relaxing. The coffee shop was very nice and informative.
Alex Mann: Awesome couches! Great community table! Get a high quality (and pretty) latte and chill with the neighbors. Fantastic crew running the joint, too!

Michael C: They have free wifi, it's quiet, and great place to get work done Iced chai latte was good but not out of this world. Will have to try the coffee another time. Great addition to the neighborhood.
Kaitlin: Great coffee, and amazing quiches!!
Michael S.: Great place for coffee in Central Harlem. Free wifi, educated and friendly baristas, good sandwiches. I will be back!
Zayed Khan: Great prices, and definitely one of the better Ethiopian restaurants I have been to. The cubed lamb with awaze is a must try.
Time Out New York: Daniel Reta and his wife, Frehiwot, cook the food of their native Ethiopia at this 18-seat eatery, decorated with green-washed walls and photos of the old country. Read more.
Kika G: Really tasty veggie platter- the Injera is amazing and so is the spiced Ethiopian tea!

Nikolai Chowdhury: Solid lunch buffet, take it to go and it's the best deal in the neighborhood. Tasty, predictably consistent food. Can't go wrong!
Pepe Chanona: I guess this is one of the most delicious places up in Harlem! I just fell in love with the Chicken Tikka Masala & Lamb Curry. Naan is just perfectly made. Service is great! Gulab Jamun for dessert

Alex Albert: Mango chicken and the mango juice were amazing!!! Will go back for the sambusas
Theresa Roldan: Came here with 10 people and everyone left happy. I had the chicken/beef Sambuza, Hilib Ari, and homemade mango juice!! So delicious!!
Diana Richter: The goat!!! Only the goat.
Teeks: Very fresh ingredients. Loved it!
Harlem Ambassador: The owner is Turkish, chef is Asian, yet the pizza is true Italian. Wood burning oven cooks in 90 seconds? Hoping to see that cafe soon. Many WILL be hooked on that pizza. You will def order seconds!
Mike Friedlich: Hot Bird and Spicy Salami are fantastic. The crust is the best crust I have ever had.

Terry Collins: Samosas, kheema pav, tandoori chicken, mango lassi, and chai!
Michael C: Have the classic steeped chai. It's lightly sweetened and just the right amount if spice. My friend said it was like being back home.
Harlem Ambassador: Upfront. Upstairs. Outback. Seating options are limitless at this brownstone Indo-Carib influenced bistro with a small but lively bar. Dining options aren't typical and vegan\vegetarians will rejoice!
