Ivory Coast Cuisine in Harlem 🇨🇮

We’d never tried food from the Côte d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast) … so we had to pull up to Sylla in Harlem. The owner was hyping up Ivorian cuisine against every other African nation we could name but was it truly as amazing as he says?

📍 Sylla
1664 Park Ave, New York, NY 10035

Essentials:
- Sauce Aubergine: A stew made of eggplant, beef, and turkey neck, that tastes smokey and savory. Best enjoyed with fufu.
- Sauce Graines: A darker stew than Sauce Aubergine, it’s made with palm sugar. I consumed it over white rice.
- Whole roasted fish with plantains: A Righteous experience. I highly suggest you pair this Sylla’s homemade scotch bonnet hot sauce.

Everyone talks about how Jaeki speaks but the writing is 🔥 too. "Gill bearing creature"? 👌

Sauce graine uses red palm oil and not palm sugar bro. As for the carb at the end, it’s definitely not white rice but attieke, which is basically couscous made of cassava

My Guy, once again you have helped put an establishment on the map. I love finding new establishments to try. This one being in The Village of Harlem is just icing on the cake. Blessings to you my brother...JB 😄
