One of the best places to go if your in east harlem. Always treat us well here after our St. Anthony procession. Highly recommend it.
I always have a great time, servers are excellant and the dj is fire for friday nights
Fantastic food! Fantastic Drinks! Great music. Welcoming vibe. Amazing staff and owners. Can’t recommend it enough !
Loved this place. My first public Karaoke. The people were welcoming. The food was spot on for a night of fun and drinks. I went to celebrate a friend's birthday. It has that " You wanna go where everybody knows your name" kinda vibe. Good people. The host I believe his name is " Randy" is fantastic!! "Wednesday nite Karaoke"
Went for a friend’s birthday. From the moment we walked in we were greeted by the friendly bartender then Darlene our waitress. Food was amazing everyone was so welcoming and accepting of us being 4 lesbian women. The crowd was fun the music was great. When they sang happy birthday to our friend the entire restaurant joined in. Everything we ordered was delicious. We are definitely going again. Such a great spot.
This just an absolute gem in the heart of Spanish Harlem NYC. Gizelle, Jeff and Staff are top notch hosts. Have a visit and you won't be disappointed with the service, food, music and professionalism. I recommend all food selections below. Great place to host your next event. Awesome hospitality guys, as always..thank you!! - @funky_frank_bboy
It's 2024 and this place is still a hit in my heart ❤️ 💙 💜 I highly recommend coming to this beautiful establishment nestled in the heart of Spanish harlem on the east side. Come show some love to this Gem plus the best thing about this place besides the food, are the amazing people! It's such a vibe... love you 😍
Great atmosphere, good service, fresh delicious and generously portioned food plus affordable prices (menu items priced under ten dollars). Originally booked seating for a party of twenty-four with Jackie Guzman who was very kind and caring, we had a large group of eighteen out of twenty-four same-day. The staff were so accommodating and flexible with meeting our groups needs. The manager Perry ensured a positive experience overall and made us feel welcomed, at-home and like family. Thank you for making my thirtieth birthday so special and unforgettable!! I highly recommend!! P.S. food and drinks were so delicious, there was no opportunity for additional photos of other items food and drinks were gone.
This isn't my first time coming here but I highly recommend this place. This is the only place I know that has an extended happy hour. The food is amazing , the drinks are bomb, service is amazing. Overall 10/10 I always enjoy myself every time I come here. Looking forward to going back real soon!
The Food Is Great! Recommend Trying It! I will update Food Pic's😊 Update 9/30/21 Food as always was great and the delivery time wow! Fantastic We love you Chef Jeff!!!! Update 1/16/21 Lamb Chop w/Mash Potatoes, Chicken Wings w/Beans and Rice The big surprise for me is I don't eat Egg Plants but, Chef Jeff got me hooked now on his Egg Plant Stew put it over white rice as seen in photo Update: Still The Best!! 6/2/2022 Steak or Grilled Chicken w/Onoins, White Rice and Black Beans*Forgot those Veggie Burgers Man!!!!*
I had 'The Lamb Burger' and.... !Wow! That's the best burger i've ever had. Period. Their drinks are on point. The Staff is super inviting till the point they make you feel that you are at home!. The owner took time to come over, meet and greet personally and it's a family oriented establishment owned by a hard working married couple and i believe we should engage and support 100% micro-business like these and young entrepreneurs who are thriving to make a trademark. Please visit this place and you will fall in love with their food and theme as well!
Love Sapoara ,The owners are the best, Shout Out to Gizelle & Jeff, they are truly like a Family to Me !! When you sit and eat the delicious variety of meals Jeff personally makes and keeps inventing , for me it's amazing, not to say that Jeremy dont meet up to Jeff standards, But over all it's a place where I feel at home with the owners Especially and then the Staff !!! To Continuance years of Blessings upon Blessings to this Bar/Restaurant and may it grow to be a 5 Star, which in my eyes it is Already !!! Much Love always... Angie & Rafael !! 💯🙏💯❤💯😍🥗🥐🥣🌮🍗💯😜😋😜💯❤💙❤💙😍😘😘😘😘 ... ( just to think these are very little posting, Knowing I have much more priceless memories, but these will do for now !!!.,,🤷♀️ !!!
Came on a Friday evening. The food and service were good. The DJ was spinning good R&B. The restaurant is small and a little unorganized when it comes to waiting for a table. I get that it's a neighborhood spot, and everyone knows each other, but if it's a restaurant, treat it like one. If it's a lounge, change it to a lounge and not a restaurant.
I started coming here every Friday for about two months and it's always a vibe. I really enjoy myself each time and sing and dance to the songs. The people and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. I don't regret coming here at all.
