Great food and ambiance. I’ve been eying this place for a while, and I’m so glad to finally try it. We got the fufu & peanut stew, and Jollof rice and fish. We also tried a side of the turkey tails. Everything was flavorful and a good level of spicy as well. 10/10 will be back!

First time trying the West African food. The staff here were so nice to let us try out everything for free! Food itself was great!We ordered three different curries (soups) and the portion is generous!

Our first foray into West African food. The portions were generous but the food was just okay. It’s counter service but the woman behind the counter was super nice. The place was clean.

Ubereats delivery to the rescue again. I found Accra. They’ve moved from the older location on 7th Ave near 125th. Accra is my go to for Jollof and Fish. As you can see they have a Jollof recognized for greatness.

Oh my new favorite 😍 African restaurant in NY They serve the best fufu and light soup. The jollof is top tier. My hubby can't stop talking about how generous they were with the flavourful banku and okra soup😋 l had a ball with waakye with fried fish, shito and jollof take away. They make the best spinach stew 💯%👌 no cap

Been coming here for years when I need a vegan soul food fix and the food is always consistent. Today the barbecue drumsticks and jerk chicken were on point! The Mac, Greens, and Mashed potatoes needed a little salt but I prefer it that way, as it lets me season it the way I like. Also had the sweet potato pie. Nice Sunday lunch!!

Probably the best value for money we found in our entire NYC trip. A huge selection of dishes to choose from, and brilliant soul food from a fully plant-based establishment. We went for two plates, getting: -Rice and Peas -Collard Greens -Mac and Cheese on both with jerk “chicken” on one and “chicken” curry on the other. You pay by weight for the plates, so you have full freedom to choose whatever you want from an extensive soul food menu. Occasionally, I've found that mac and cheese can be a bit dry in similar establishments, but I absolutely could not fault it here. Everything was delicious. For the price, we didn't see a better ratio of cost to volume and flavour for the rest of our trip. Staff were warm and friendly to boot! A must-visit for vegans in NYC.

I recently went vegan and wanted to try a new spot, but there aren’t many options in Harlem. I saw this place on Google and decided to give it a chance. Right away I noticed the meat was sitting right next to the vegetables. When I got home, the food had no flavor at all. I’ve had better meals at the shelter where I work. And the Rihanna-looking girl at the counter basically tossed the bag at me. For 27 dollars a plate, I won’t be returning. It’s disappointing, because the neighborhood really needs more vegan options.

Nice 'fast' food but with lots of healthy options and lots of variety. It was fun to have a plate of lots of different things and to pay by weight. Also lots of cakes available (the bread pudding was delicious and perfectly moist / not too sweet)

This place is a classic diner. So help me understand… Why was the turkey (lunch meat) in my Club sandwich GRILLED ON THE FLAT TOP? A Turkey club/triple decker sandwich is a diner classic, I’ve NEVER had it come out with the sliced turkey grilled before. It took the perfect cold sandwich and ruined it. It was dry and super salty. So disappointed!

This place is okay I'm not sure about the Staffing it takes forever and a day for a waitress to come to you even when there's only two tables occupied. I'm pretty sure that's the reason that place was empty when I got there

Such a cozy restaurant with amazing food and service. The three women running the place were all so kind. Oxtail was melting off the bones and in my mouth and rice was perfectly cooked. I don't live in the neighborhood so I can't come back everyday but I will stop by every time I'm in east harlem. Thank you for such a wonderful meal

My daughter and I ordered take out today. We couldn’t believe how tasty and wonderful the food was! We had the chicken curry roti and we have to say we’ve eaten a lot of this from other places and Sisters has won our hearts and stomachs. The jerk salmon was just as pleasantly tasty and we love the caramelized veggies. The staff were very nice and it was a warm and welcoming atmosphere 10 out 10! We’ll definitely be back. Oh and the pineapple cornbread was delicious too!

Stopped by Sisters Caribbean Cuisine for their lunch specials and was pleasantly surprised by how flavorful and satisfying the meal was. I tried both the jerk chicken and the chicken curry, each served with a rice and seasoned cabbage. Service was quick and friendly, making it a great spot for a weekday lunch. I’ll be trying the oxtail next time. Ah! It’s cash or Zelle payment only.

On a sightseeing trip through New York, we happened upon this place for dinner. And I have to say, we were pleasantly surprised. The food was excellent. We were also warmly welcomed by the owner and had a great conversation with her. A lovely woman who we will always remember fondly! Greetings from Germany and hopefully we see you soon again!! (The three Tourists from Germany).❤️❤️❤️

Excellent chicken wings, fried rice, and hot and sour soup! Everything was packed with flavor and perfectly seasoned. The chicken wings were crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and had just the right amount of seasoning. The fried rice was fresh, savory, and not greasy at all—every bite had great texture. The hot and sour soup was rich, balanced, and comforting with a nice kick. Overall, a delicious meal with consistently great taste. Definitely a spot I’d come back to!

I was a bit nervous to try this place due to some of the reviews but I’m glad I came! This has been the best takeout Chinese spot since moving to NYC. They give plenty of portions and the price is amazing (which is how it should be). I spent $25 and split it into 3 meals! I ordered General Tso w/ white rice, Crab Rangoons, Beef Lo Mein, an Eggroll, and it came with a complimentary drink. I will definitely be back.

Solid general tsaos chicken and pork fried rice, great lunch special for 10 dollars, if your a working person in the area looking for a quick lunch and don't want to break the bank I recommend. No seating available.

I was there some years ago and found the place by accident, had the promo then, 2 tender chicken burgers and paid 5 dollars each or both l don't remember. The burgers were so juicy and fresh 😋. I have to revisit it's been 7 years.
Antoine Agagiors - 3 weeks ago

The food is great and usually orders via door dash. But no longer available 😢. Postmates and ubereats charge almost 45 bucks for what I usually order, which cost be 26 or doordash. I'm not sure who markets the price on these apps, but they gauging prices. So if im not around the store, I won't be getting anymore

I have been there a few times, and literally every time I leave, I never get what I ordered. They just don’t pay attention, so check your food before you leave.

🍕➡️🚪The pizza is to go — and so are you. This is your classic in-and-out New York slice shop that knows exactly what it is (and doesn’t try to be anything else). Staff is quick and friendly, but the whole point here is grab a slice, keep it moving, and get back on the streets.

I got off the train from LaGuardia airport at 125th St. and just a few steps away on the same block is this pizza place and it’s only two dollars a slice and they also take credit card not to cash. So if you’re starving and you don’t mind, the quick, not the best quality pizza and not much cheese, this is a great option. It filled my belly and I was able to get to the next part of my travels. There is no air conditioning in the summertime and there is no warm fuzzy atmosphere, but it is very efficient for hunger. Nice staff! The pizza is not bad either.

This pizza by the slice restaurant really hits the spot when you’re looking for affordable pizza that is solid. For $4.75, you can get 2 large slides of cheese pizza and a fountain drink. This is the perfect amount of food to keep you satisfied. The restaurant didn’t have much variety available when we went, at 9pm on a Friday night, but what they did have available was still fresh.

Small place, former 1 dollar slice franchise. Lately, name changed, the price increased 100% and now $2 slice. The size of the slice didn’t change. The lousy service didn’t change. Yeah, there is no lines anymore, but service still need some improvements.

Surprisingly a very clean location with friendly staff that make accurate, tasty orders. We had to come here as soon as the Mexican Pizza made a return. It was as good as I remember it being! Cheesy, crunchy, and savory. Mobile ordering is fast and easy as well.
Gourmand - 3 years ago

Clean and professional place, but what I don’t like is one of the guys cleaning while I’m eating. Please stop doing that, but other than that the area was clean the staff behind the counter were nice and professional. I will come again again.
