Arrived for lunch – were given a menu, but when we ordered we were given only 1 option. At the same time we saw that other patrons could order different food. Fish smelled bad and could of been rotten before cooking, so didn’t touch it. Chicken was ok, but have no idea what dish on the menu it was. In the end we had to pay 43$ for two meals, but there was nothing on the menu that was that expensive. So unless you’re familiar with or know the owners, don’t go.

What? Talk about friendly. From the others in there to the waitress, everyone was just like making you feel welcomed. The portions are big. I had the red snapper and it was so good. The hot sauce is really hot, not that fake hot. The waitress was so nice. I would come back in a heartbeat.

Harlem has some of the best African restaurants and Chez Jacob is one of them. They offer Senegalese food. I went there for a dinner on a cold winter night. Just be mind ful the portion size is huge compared to New York standards. The food is tasty if you like exploring different cuisines and cultures. The waitress was very kind and helpful. Over all a great experience.

The food was so good I went home after and dreamed I was in Senegal. This was probably one the best meals I’ve had in New York. The portions are enormous, everything is flavorful and they had the best bread I’ve had in my entire life.

Always hits the spot on flavor. I only get the grilled red snapper and the meal is worth the money. It would be nice to eat in but they are only take out at this time.

I love this restaurant for traditional Senegalese takeout. (I would dine in when pandemic is over). They even have attaya, Senegalese tea, while you wait for your order!

“C’est Bon” is the name of this dish, how ironic! “C’est pas bon” would be more appropriate. The French translation is “it’s good ” the latter is the contrary!

Nice atmosphere even with all tables occupied. TV or music should be kept, not both; with the various conversations, they only add to thw noise.

The food is excellent but Abdoulaye on the phone was so disgusting and sooo rude. I asked to talk to his manager over the phone after he talked to me very nastily he said that’s none of my business and that he won’t pass the phone to his manager. I asked for my food to be delivered and he responded that the delivery guy got off but it was only 8:40 pm. I asked when would the delivery guy be back, he responded that I ask too many questions and If I was gonna order or not. After placing my order, I said that he was so rude and that’s not how he should talk to customers. He hang up the phone on me. I called back to talk to the manager he did the same thing. He dared to call me back saying that his name is not Moustapha but Abdoulaye and that he does not care losing his job.
