Yatenga Bistro - New York

Staying around the corner from here, scrolled through 25 restaurants and decided on Yatenga. Well glad I did, good vibes, awesome food, family of 4 and would come back every week if we didn't live in Australia. Thanks guys, loved it!

If you want some really good food, this is the place. The wait staff and everyone is great, friendly and helpful. This could be my favorite restaurant in Manhattan.

Went here for the first time on a Tuesday night and everything was fantastic. Two dishes I'll mention: An abundance of perfectly cooked shrimp on a bed of parmesan-crusted baked macaroni and cheese (and mushrooms) and a very large salad Nicoise topped with a tremendous amount of rare tuna. Happy hour until 8 pm brought $5 glasses of quite good wine, with serious pours, and NYC craft beers. And the service was top notch. I can't recommend this restaurant enough.

I have been eating at Yatenga since 2011. I so appreciate its presence in Harlem. I declare that it’s my “go to” place to dine in NYC Harlem in particular! For many years I’d have my “after-theater” repast on Restaurant Row. But no longer. I head straight uptown to Harlem and Yatenga. When friends relatives are visiting and ask for restaurant suggestions it’s always Yatenga The staff is efficient, professional, attentive personable. Ousman the proprietor has done a marvelous job and is the quintessential restaurateur! And I must confess that I have a keen admiration for Tom the Barman. The staff here seems to know me and my preferences and I like that! I once met Ousman on the bus and declared: I ONLY EAT YOUR FOOD IN HARLEM!

Very recommended checkout of this establishment OUT! To be such a cozy atmosphere. Great bartender, too.
