Each and every item was delicious, and it was such a variety of flavors. We had the Dibi Mouton, which was extremely juicy and flavorful. Just keep in mind, the mutton quantity is quite large. I can eat a lot, but even I couldn't finish it. Even the atieke and the salad that came with it worked as beautiful mouth refresher. Fataya too were tasty. Overall, it was a great experience. Will come here again.

So good! The location itself is quite small and they ran out of alot of their seafood options but still what we ordered slapped. We got the fried, whole fish with jollof rice. The fish was super fresh and crispy yet flatlet on the inside. It came with a small container of hot sauce that wasn't ridiculously spicy but perfect and then a very well seasoned vegetable salad/ marinade mix that was also so fire. Price and portions arent bad either. You get full off $25 and may still have leftovers. Highly recommend!

La Savane d'Afrique is serving some of the most delicious dishes from western sub saharan Africa with the attieké, alloco, multiple types of grilled meat, and fish. The food was absolutely delicious. The service by Zeinab was nothing short of exceptional. A better job could be done with the wine list, but that's another topic. They do offer some cocktails. They environment is clean and well decorated. I recommend this place the next time you go to Harlem.

The food was probably the worst peanut butter soup and fufu I ever had.. smh love African food and had it many times but this is not it.. the only thing good was the friendly guy and the meat was tender. But the food give me a stomach ache and was really nasty
