Native Harlem is a modern West African restaurant and lounge on 125th Street where multi-course prix fixe menus, suya, and egusi share the stage with DJs and live performances. The tasting-style experiences lean into bold Nigerian flavors, cocktails, and a show-time atmosphere rather than hushed fine dining.
Must-Try Dishes: Oxtail with jollof rice, Egusi Soup with pounded yam, Crispy Escovitch Red Snapper
