    The Cecil has a stylish dining room and a cool vibe, but the real reason to go here is the eclectic menu. Standouts include oxtail dumplings, feijoada, “mini yard dogs,” and the fried guinea hen. Mehr erfahren

    Fantastic brunch with lightning service. Come for the Grilled Roti Pizza and Duck Confit Waffle stay for the live music and unlimited mimosa bar.

    The menu has things like deviled eggs, oxtail dumplings, a salad of heirloom beets and Brussels sprouts, a wagyu rib burger, duck two ways, and fried guinea hen. Entrees are priced in the mid-20s.

    Went here for restaurant week but decided to order from the regular menu after talking to the bartender. The feijoada = all the spicy deliciousness I could ever want! Get the collard green salad too!

    The Cecil shares a kitchen with the jazz club Minton's, and though the menu is similar, this place is more casual. The Wagyu beer burger is delightfully soft and the bun holds up well. Mehr erfahren

    Beautiful Afro-Asian decor and really inviting. You must try the Braised Goat Dumplings. For my entree I had the Tamarind-Glaze Oxtails which was really delicious.

    The collard greens salad is a perfect starter. Where else in Harlem can you get raw collards on a plate? The Masai drink is delicious. Try the rice and veg wok bar. Vibe is a bit relaxed but elegant.

    Great cocktails & a really different take on southern, asian inspired cuisine. Be sure to try both the dumplings & the squid appetizers. The fried chicken special I had was pretty spectacular.

    The West African beef suya is thin-sliced in the traditional Nigerian style and rubbed in onion, garlic and ginger powders. It packs an unexpected, barbecue-like punch. Mehr erfahren

    Lamb ribs are orgasmic, real yummy for meat lovers, followed by Cecil's take on Fejuada(Brazilian) is incredible - be warned though it's spicy and your tastebuds will dance with spicy flavors!

    Points for creativity are deserved at this Afro-American-Asian eatery, although the execution falls short. The oxtail dumplings and Brisket and Eggs are some of the stronger dishes.

    The cocktails are eccentric! I had three - Masai, Cherry Blossom, and the Solstice! This restaurant uses cinnamon in a lot of their dishes. The spicy sqiud (calamari) is to die for!!!

    Most incredible cocktails and dishes. Cocktails are unique but not contrived. Dishes are pure soul food that's asian/afro inspired. Service is relaxed, sometimes a bit slow, but incredibly gracious.

    Brunch is so on point it's insane. Go for the bottomless mimosas and any of the entrees, and a side of okra fries. Save room for dessert too

    The menu can seem scattered, until you relax and accept that a dish might include collard greens, the Northern African spice blend harissa, and Chinese sausage, and it'll all make sense on the plate. Mehr erfahren

    If there's a better spot in Harlem, I don't know it. Definitely get the pineapple black rice and go crazy with whatever else you want to eat. Skip the spinach salad.

    If you're looking to have a low key experience definitely sit in the main dining room. But if you're looking for a lounge vibe and possibly a little people watching stay in the bar area.

    Try the Feizoada- the oxtail flavors the whole dish. Expect your table neighbors to ask what you ordered because it smells so darn good.
