Great Food!!!!
I went here with a friend around New Year's and it was a great experience. The food was excellent. We both got the fried fish with mac and cheese and sweet potatoes. I had requested mixed vegetables but they didn't have anymore which I thought was strange but the sweet potatoes were a great substitute. There was a jazz bad so that was definitely a bonus. My only complaint was that the atmosphere was very bland and the lighting was too much. Not good if you are trying to go out for a romantic dinner. Besides that I will definitely be back... soon!

Great Food, Great Waitress, Poor Service from Owner
Well I went to Londel's for my birthday, I had a reservation for 16 people. I called in advance the day before, and even visited the week before to confirm things. The day of my event, my guests arrive and there "are no reservations". Apparently the owner had written them down for the next day. So my friends (who traveled several hours to be there) and I had to wait outside (they wouldn't let us in) for an hour and a half in the cold. Once inside everything was fabulous! But by then of course I was pissed off. The food was great, our waitress was wonderful, but the owner left a bad taste in my mouth. As "making up" for his terrible blunder, the owner sent ME over a glass of Moet, what do the other 15 people who waited outside get? NOTHING! No birthday cake, nothing.. As a place to dine, it was fabulous. As a place to hold a dinner party, I wouldn't recommend it.

It's worth the Try
I have eaten at Londel's on two occasions; both experiences were delightful. The restaurant's ambiance was simple, yet alluring. The servers were friendly and helpful about menu choices. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Scrumptious
I love Londel's. The macaroni and cheese melts in your mouth. Although, the collard greens tend to be hard on the stomach and delicious at the same time. My favorite is their grilled chicken breast with the spiced seasoning (it's on the lunch menu, but they're kind enough to make it for dinner).

Toe-curlin' Good!
My trails to discover excellent soul-food fixins have taken throughout both coasts, and Londel's goes to the top of the heap (and far beyond). The atmosphere and service experienced here should be the touchstone by which other Afro-American culinary establishments are judged. I dined for the Sunday's buffet. The smells, tastes, sounds, and ambience convinced me that this is how heaven should be if not better. Every penny is worth the experience at Londel's!

Superb
The hostess and servers are very attentive and professional. I was impressed with their speed and skill. The night I visited there was a jazz band. Chicken and waffles entree was great.

Fabulous
I have been to Londel's on several occasions, and each time I have left more than satisfied. They have a Sunday brunch buffet that is amazing. The wait staff is very attentive and the food is excellent. You can usually find Londel himself walking the restaurant floor in coversation with diners or giving a brief history of Harlem to tourists. Trust me Londel's is worth the trip uptown. Fabulous, absolutely fabulous.
