What our guests are saying

The food was amazing, service was great, and the portions were generous. I had the lamb and friend plantain while my friends had the other meals in the photo. The spice level was perfect, and can be increased as you please. The fish and lamb were not deep fried like the usual practise is with their competitors. Highly recommended if you’re visiting Harlem.

This place is a vibe! Their Jollof is fire AND they have a vegan option and I didn’t even notice it was vegan. Staff and owner are super friendly and the food was really delicious. The plantains, on point, and I’m Dominican so y’all already know! I’m so full but can’t stop eating. Loved it here. Recommend!

I had the steak sandwich at Azara Kitchen and it was absolutely delicious — tender, flavorful, and cooked just right. Victoria, our server, was attentive, friendly, and added a personal touch that made the experience even better. Top-notch food and service — can’t wait to come back!
