It’s not my first bad experience here, but it’s definitely my last. The food was cold, the attiéké had no oil or seasoning, and the dibi and plantains were burnt. I even asked for sauces, but they were missing again. I love Senegalese food, but this place was really disappointing.

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!
Everything we ordered is delicious and since I don’t live nearby I always order extra so I have leftovers. Staff have all been friendly.

Chez Jacob — Harlem’s Senegalese Gem
Chez Jacob is without question the best Senegalese spot in Harlem. I order there every single week, and it never disappoints. They have all the real dishes you’d want if you know Senegalese food — mafe, thiebu jen, thiebu yapp, domoda, borakhe, thiebu kethiakh, thiou, dakhin, mbaxalu saalum… the list goes on. And if you’re into grilled meats, the dibi and michoui are on point — perfectly seasoned, juicy, and straight up delicious.
What I love most is the authenticity. The food tastes just like home — rich, flavorful, generous portions, and cooked with care. Whether you want fish, lamb, chicken, or something saucy with rice, you’ll find it here.
This isn’t a place for “fusion” or watered-down flavors — it’s the real deal. If you want to experience true Senegalese cuisine in New York, Chez Jacob is the spot.

The food was very VERY bad. My mother and I came to try this place, and they didn’t have the snapper upon request so we settled for the chicken. The chicken was SO dry! It was nearly impossible to even chew. I also ordered a side of rice and vegetables. The vegetables were not fresh and they were the kind you get from the frozen section. You could clearly tell the food had been sitting around for days and it was not fresh at all. Definitely won’t be returning.

This place delivers quality worth returning for regularly. The employees know their business while showing personal care. They use special components to create excellent meals. I was astonished by the quality. Chez Jacob exceeds the rating scale.

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.

Delicious! Is the best way I can describe my meal so good I ordered another one to go for my father. I am very glad they are reasonably priced as other places near by are inflated. I ordered jellof rice w lamb and it was full of flavor. This is hands down my second favorite African restaurant in Harlem. I did not give them a 5 star because I couldn’t get past the poor service from the cashier/waitress. She took ages to come and place order and has a serious case of RBF. She was on her phone and then having a 20 minute conversation with a friend who came inside. She totally ignored us until I began speaking pigeon English. Aside from that this is a cozy spot in Harlem where you can come and enjoy authentic dining. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for good food.
