EAT: NEW AFRICAN MENU AT GINJAN CAFE
Harlem Bespoke: Another reason to drop by Ginjan Cafe on 125th Street at Park Avenue is the fantastic new African dishes being featured as a special daily. We dropped by earlier in the week and Yassa chicken was being served up in in a seasoned rice bowl or delicious wraps. We love the food at Teranga further south but now Ginjan might just be offering something even better each day.
Our personal view of bland wraps also changed because of this experience since the crispy grilled version found here is truly next level.
Everything was so amazing with abundant flavors and this was easily the best quick lunch we had had in the new year. There are also vegetarian versions of the daily dish so those who are going meatless can also enjoy the new alternating menu items. Ginjan Cafe is also the first business to set up at the restored Corn Exchange Building which is one of the few official local landmarks on Harlem’s main commercial boulevard.
