African restaurants sell food that gives you the home away from home experience
There are a plethora of African restaurants in New York City; many exceptional small mom and pop shops that never make it to the internet. For the sake of convenience, I will focus here on a few African restaurants that have an established internet presence.
Forbes wrote an article of the top 10 African restaurants in New York City. A few notable spots have closed since the article was published.
Still, the gorgeously designed Ethiopian restaurant, Massawa, promising to dish each meal with fleshy injera, and the vibrant Buka, serving flavorful, spicy Jollof and suya have their doors open and promise to delight.
Other commendable restaurants on Forbes’ African restaurant list which are still open are Ivorian Farafina Cafe & Lounge, Ethiopian Queen of Sheba and Bati, Senegalese Cafe Rue Diz and Moroccan Le Soux.
