We were served complimentary thin buttered bread, which was crispy and yummy. For my drink, I had to get the Soursop Shake. This was delightfully thick, creamy, light, and refreshing. I ordered Mofongo with Steak for my meal. The Steak also came with onion and peppers. This dish was plated beautifully, with a pop of color from the veggies. There was boldly flavorful, savory sauce on the side. The Mofongo was perfectly made, well seasoned, while the steak was tender and juicy with grill marks. The sauce made the Mofongo even tastier. Service was solid. Our waitress was attentive and everything came out in a timely manner. I would return to try the Snapper Fillet, Fried Pork Chops, and Mamey Shake.

It was layered with sweet and sour vinegar onions which did not take good. Perhaps for a salad but not steak. The mixed vegetables were delicious. It was cauliflower, tender asparagus, green beans, and carrots. I do not recommend ordering steak from this restaurant. Just wasn't worth the price I paid. I reminded me of cheap stingy tough chuck check.

Convenient location, Great Options, Meats could be more tender…read more I was only in New York for the weekend, and I wanted to try a new spot in Harlem this time! I walked by Jacob Restaurant and caught a whif of something good, so I had to grab a plate. The ambiance is very lively and busy! There were plenty of people filling up their platters with food. Pricing is reasonable, and you're charged based on the weight of your platter(s). I loved how many options there were. No matter what you have a taste for, they've got something for you! I put so many different things on my plate, it didn't make sense! Overall, I enjoyed my food, but I did feel like the oxtail and pork ribs weren't tender enough. The oxtail was the main thing I wanted, so this was a little disappointing! But the guy at the checkout was super friendly and kind, so that made up for it!

Why spend $45+ for drinks when you can buy your own bottle(s) for the same price? Artist sets the perfect ambiance and music for people to vibe to, and he tailors it for any occasion -- especially a lovely date night. My husband agrees he doesn't get SOUL food like he does here. We taste the LOVE! I highly recommend everything on the menu. My personal favorites are the fried chicken, pork chop with a side of mac and cheese, vegan collard greens, and cornbread. Last night, I tried the Stuchi (steak and crabmeat roulade with a tasty Cajun roux) -- a unique, elevated dish I'll be thinking about all summer. We also loved the crab cakes (real crab!), ceviche spring roll, and watermelon salad! Thank you, Artist -- we love Spaha Soul

I had the grilled pork chops/ mash as well for tomorrow's but ate the bacon cheeseburger n fries. Well, let me tell you Daisy the owner was very down to earth and grateful for all customers. She granted both coupons kemia and I had. The food was on point and very delicious. Now the drinks....the Long Island Ice Tea was ok not hitting like a Long Island should ok. Kemia had the Margerita which she said was too sweet but babeeeee their Rum Punch... was Punchin. The ambiance was a great afterwork vibe, the DJ music was banging definitely on point,a good mixture of Hip Hop an R & B taking it back to Old Skool.

It looked a little too sterile and new, so we stood in the rain while i maintained my stubborn ways, in pursuit of whatever it was that I wanted that I could not exactly put into words. Everything was looking too expensive, too clean and fake, or there were no options for dine in, and we needed to sit our wet butts down and take cover from the rain. My phone was ready to give out from the rain, I'm tilting it up towards the sky, trying to keep raindrops from landing on the screen when I finally scroll to Jacob restaurant. My heart starts to flutter upon realizing we've found a soul food hot bar buffet, only half a mile away. We are overly excited and pack our platters so high that we actually have to tell ourselves to calm down. I'm reminded of when I was a child and my dad would take me to the Wegmans hot bar where I'd run up a tab for $15 worth of steamed white rice. But not today, today there is salmon, curry goat, collard greens, mac and cheese, black eyed peas, candied yams, and green beans. It was exactly the kind of snake meal we needed to end a long weekend of biking all over New York. Everything was hot, well seasoned and made with love. We watched the world cup as it poured rain, we left happy and ready to go home, but I feel grateful knowing I have a spot I would love to return to whenever I'm in New York again. We took banana pudding to go and ate it on our bus ride home while debriefing all the fun we had.

They have a few booster seats around the sides of the room and it mainly seemed like a take-out place. We ordered a large oxtail with a side of baked mac & cheese and collard greens and it was delicious. We shared it between two people and we almost couldn't finish it. The oxtail basically fell off the bone and was very tender and flavorful. I like the mac & cheese as well although I wish there was more cheese as it felt a bit carb heavy. But the real star was the collard greens which were incredibly tender and soaked up all the meat juices it was marinated in. Will definitely be back to try more items!
