    One of my fan favorite meals: the meatloaf w/gravy sides of yellow rice and house salad topped w/ special olive oil, Italian dressing.
    Alphanso J.

    Since I've first stepped foot in there just before the beginning of Summer, this place has become one of my go to favorites. I've been trying to keep this place a secret for a bit but I wanna give all the praise that I can because the food, yeah.... It's definitely delicious! The staff are always chill and friendly. While, they move at a speedy pace to make sure that all orders are on point. A calm place to go for it caters to the nearby neighborhood, universities and hospital. So, a nice iced coffee for a summer morning to relax the day away.

    Raw chicken in the middle and spoiled cucumbers
    Metro G.

    If I can give them a zero, I would. I used to always order from here but never again. I got a salad with breaded chicken. The chicken chunks in the middle were raw (pink and gummy). Also gave me spoiled cucumbers. Claimed it was the salad dressing that made the cucumbers turn clear and sour. I went over to show them in oerson the disgusting raw chicken and rotten cucumbers. The manager claimed the cucumbers were fresh. Smh. GRubhub gave me a refund and they offered to make a new salad but I don't trust them. I am not sure why the mamager hired inexperienced people in the kitchen who don't know how to cook. She also said she can't fire him because he is sick also that another cool usually handles the chicken. Smh. It was a circus. They were defensive and instead of apologizing that they possibly gave me food poisoning and will cover medical bills, they washed their hands off. Eat here if you like raw chicken and spoiled cucumbers.

    I was greeted with such a welcoming smile when I went for pickup! If you ever looking for greatly priced meal that fills you up, don't hesitate to try this place! It is easy going casual place where I would definitely revisit!

    Simple sandwich shop with delicious options. This is a pretty in and out type of sandwich and soup shop. There is a small dining area that has about 4 or 5 tables. During my vist, I ordered the Final Exam, which was a greasy nirvana (a good thing). Also, I have ordered food for catering events, and for the most part, the food was delivered on time. The food is well labeled so people from my event were able to easily identify what they ordered. The price of there food is pretty reasonable - most of the sandwiches come with a soup. Oh the short woman who works the salad station is so nice and pleasant.

    10% off if you got a CU Id.

    If you consider the neighborhood and all the surrounding places for food, it's a good spot in comparison. Otherwise, it would be run of the mill if you compared it to say your local bodega or deli for sandwiches, especially when you take into consideration price. Like I said, location is the big key. They have a 10% discount if you're CU affiliated and they throw in a free soup if you order one of their sandwiches. I think they threw in some of these perks cause they're not as closeby as their competitor, Apple Tree. I ordered the Double Trouble, which was good. The steak and turkey were tasty. The minestrone soup they threw in was okay. Nothing to write home about but you can't really complain if it's free. All in all, a fairly decent spot. A bit better than some of the other places for food in terms of quantity of food and price. It can get a bit crowded during certain parts of the day.

    Breakfast with coffee
    Mito I.

    Quick Summary: - Their coffee, if you ask for cream and sugar, it becomes a creamy sweet (which I like) - The hash browns in the breakfast plate was delicious - Order doesn't match with the menu, but they have good replacements - Kind service - Good portions for an early breakfast - There are a few seats to sit - Air conditioning is mildly cool I came here to have breakfast, so I ordered coffee and a breakfast set (toast, egg, and fries). At the counter, they told me that they didn't have fries but they had hash browns instead. For me, I love hash browns over fries, so that was a good plus. They also asked if I wanted to cream and sugar with the coffee, so I replied "yes" to this one too. I expected they would pour the coffee to a point where I can add cream and sugar myself, but they actually did that for me. I thought they added a lot of sugar than I had hoped, but after tasting it, it reminded me of the 85 degrees coffee. Overall a good coffee to have in the morning. It wasn't so strong and bitt that it hurt my stomach and it wasn't sour either. Just the coffee I want. The breakfast set came in an aluminum tray with a lid, so I can take it out if I wanted to. The portion was small, so I ended up eating breakfast at the SubsConsious. After taking my order, they came by a few minutes later to hand me a napkin, fork, salt packet, pepper packet, and ketchup. There were two slices of hashed browns and they were so crispy! That was my favorite part of the dish. The egg lacked flavor, so I squeezed a reasonable amount of ketchup over it. The toasts were good too because they slabbed it over with butter. It was crispy too. In the end, it filled me up and I was quite content with the taste.

    Chicken sandwich with peppers, provolone and honey mustard - delicious!
    Lee S.

    Hugely underrated sandwich option near Columbia, but was always one of my favorite places to go. My wife and I met up with old college friends yesterday and we got sandwiches for a picnic on campus here. Still the same as I remember it many years ago. With even more options available - so many unique and interesting sounding choices. We got a philly cheese steak and a grilled chicken with red peppers, provolone and honey mustard (just the right amount - not overpowering). The sandwiches each come with a soup as well and are reasonable at about $9. The place is tight, with no seating, but for a quick place to take out, you couldn't ask for more. A true gem in a neighborhood that is increasingly moving to chains (Shake Shack, Chipotle, Five Guys, etc.)

    Incredible breakfast burrito from a neighborhood fav! Great for a quick and affordable breakfast on the go

    Maria G.

    When I first walked in, I was caught by surprise by how many choices there are. I don't know how it is even possible. But then I quickly realized that the differences are rather minor. The line gets super long during lunch and dinner hours so be patient! They do try to make sandwiches as quickly as possible. I ordered "Double Trouble" and it was okay! The sandwich was huge and I didn't finish mine in one meal. They do have lots of breakfast and lunch specials. Grilled sandwiches are priced at around $6-8. I think specials are around $5.

    Clean deli/subs very close to Columbia University Computer Sciences building. I enjoy the walk along the street on a beautiful day and decided to stop here for s sun and grab some water. The place is clean and the workers are friendly. They have very limited seating against the walls and two small tables behind the end counter in the back. Columbia Univ students can show their ID to get 10%. I ordered the turkey sub and a bottle of water. It came out to be close to $10. The sandwich was rather disappointing fir me as the bread is just way too soft. It should be a bit crunchy on the outside texture. The had too much vinegar for me. I didn't like the taste of it but the bf likes it.

It was cooked well but could have used a little more seasoning. The complimentary sauces helped, but didn't quite make up for it. I swapped the asparagus for broccoli rabe, and theirs was fantastic. Our waitress mentioned it gets mixed reactions, but honestly, that may just be broccoli rabe being naturally bitter. If you're a fan, get it. The rice was buttery and flavorful too. My companion's lamb chops were also very well seasoned. The fresh ginger juice was delicious, with ginger as the star and the pineapple and mint more subtle. Our waitress was helpful, though an internal miscommunication meant I didn't find out they were out of the mashed potatoes I ordered until after our food arrived. Also, bring a layer! Even on a high-80s day, that AC was COLD, and I normally love a cool room. Overall, there were a few misses, but I'm open to returning at some point, especially to explore the Italian side of the menu given the chef/owner spent time studying in Italy.

The vibe is chill, relaxed, and very neighborhood-friendly. Even when it's busy, it never feels overwhelming, and they're usually very accommodating with walk-ins. The service is also some of the best I've experienced in Harlem. My go-to is the roasted duck, which is consistently excellent. It's cooked medium to medium-rare and comes with mango, onions, vegetables, and greens. Easily one of my favorite dishes in the neighborhood. The drinks are great too. I recently had the Nas, their take on a Manhattan, and it was incredibly smooth--one of the best whiskey cocktails I've had in a while. Overall, 10/10. A hidden gem on Lenox between 119th and 120th and definitely one of the best spots in Harlem.

We both had Brussel Sprouts, good, but the bites without the sauce did taste like bland Brussel sprouts. I had the lamb ribs, very good. They do warn you before that the ribs have a bit of fat on them, I think in the context of NY restaurant week I'm happy to pay it but as a solo entree, the amount of fat vs meat would have annoyed me. My friend had the duck, she enjoyed it. But it is very much salad with a side of duck, I believe she had 6 pieces of duck (pictured) and then a mango, arugula and onion salad. Dessert was very good, but I do hope those are not the usual portion sizes and maybe they just served smaller for NY restaurant week. Which I really didn't mind as I was full from the entree and sprouts. Servers were really nice, this place seems to have its regulars and a nice garden sitting area towards the back. Would overall recommend

We started with drinks. She ordered the passion fruit margarita and I went with the tamarind mango margarita. We were told the margaritas are made with a wine based cocktail instead of tequila or mezcal since the restaurant only serves beer and wine. We've never had margaritas made with wine before, which should have been our first clue to skip the cocktails. Unfortunately we were feeling adventurous and neither of us ended up enjoying our drinks. Mine lacked any hint of tamarind, had a subtle mango flavor, and tasted more like a mocktail. My friend said hers tasted like a tart beverage. We ordered the codfish fritters to start and they were a delicious appetizer. We shared the jerk chicken and pancakes and the plantain crusted crab cakes for our entrees. The pancakes were light and fluffy. Unfortunately the jerk chicken was a huge letdown. We were expecting authentic Jamaican flavors. As someone who grew up eating jerk chicken and has enjoyed the real thing in Jamaica numerous times, this wasn't it! I was also surprised to be served a chicken cutlet instead of an actual breast, thigh, or wing portion of chicken. We did not enjoy the chicken. The crab cakes were well done and topped with a stale tasting chip. The fried plantains that accompanied the dish were mushy. We did not enjoy this dish either. My friend ordered the housemade chocolate chip bread pudding, which she said had everything under the sun on it. She enjoyed it, but said it didn't taste like any bread pudding she had ever tasted. Overall, the restaurant's concept is cool, but not well executed. The service was good minus the delayed water glass refills. Unfortunately, the food and drinks were a huge disappointment!
