Yummy and fast
Of all the african restaurants i have been to Sohkna is by far the best. The food is cheap, fast and taste, however it may be a little greasy. The service is very fast but the waiters dont speak very good English. I love it and i go there a lot with my mom. It is not too spicy like the other african places and i definitely RECCOMEND it

great service, subpar food
There are a lot of good things about this place, but unfortunately the food is not one of them. I went with a group of 4 and we have all tasted and enjoyed Senegalese cuisine before, and this place looks like those little mom and pops kitchens that serves it up authentic. While I wouldnt say the food was inauthentic, it simply did not taste good. The menus in the restaurant and posted outside did not say that almost every entree is only served 1 or 2 days a week, and so it turned out we could only choose from 6 options! Two of us ordered stews -- the Mafe and the Suppu Kandja -- and both were more thick pastes than stews, as if everything had been put in a blender before serving. They were filled with oil and it did not taste fresh at all. Someone else ordered a chicken and brown rice dish that was dry and completely tasteless. The only good food was the Dibi, which was a simple dish of grilled lamb strips, served with french fries. We all shared that, and luckily, the portions here are the biggest I have ever received for one order, easily enough for two. The wait staff was very polite and friendly and the prices were reasonable, but if the food isnt good it all goes for naught. Big disappointment, especially considering there are other Senegalese Restaurants in the area that we could have went to.

Fantastic
My husband is Senegalese and I am French and when we arrived at NY some friends have recommended this restaurant to us. For this day we are going there each week ! Food is very delicious with the flavour of Senegal ! In this restaurant you are like in Afric : the atmosphere is so sympathic, the people very kind and you can watch some senegalese programs on TV. So we recommand warmly this fabulous restaurant to you!
