I was visiting from Atlanta and wanted to support a black owned restaurant. I order the grilled lamb with rice and peas and cabbage. It was seasoned just right and vey delicious. I also had the j*** wings which were the mouth watering and tasty. The portion size was good as well and it was very affordable.

Excellent food - had the yassa fish, which was super crispy on the outside and flavorful and tender on the inside, and the garlic wings were incredible (I'd put the sauce on pretty much anything). Definitely coming back the next time we're in the area. Try the bouye drink (baobab juice) - it's delicious.

A hidden gem in the area. The service and food are top-notch and my fiance got to practice his French with the workers. They were all super nice and willing to explain what their favorite dishes are or what they recommended.The egusi (tripe) with fufu had amazing flavors that the American palette isn’t used to, but should welcome and try with open arms/mouth.The j*** chicken is tender and has great flavor but isn’t too much to write home about when all the other dishes we tried we so fantastic.The dibi (lamb) with grilled onions was amazing. The seasoning and spices were OUTTA BOUNDS.The bouye drink is a MUST TRY, just like this restaurant.Ce restaurante est magnifique!!!Parking: There’s enough parking in front of the restaurant, but they are limited and fill up quick during peak hours.

Had j*** chicken, rice & beans, cabbage. Loved it! My daughter like her vegetarian platter, too. She enjoyed the plantain a lot. Teranga Ginger drink was nice too. When I am this way, I'll eat here again?

I'm not sure what's going wrong here, but this is likely my last attempt at giving this place a shot. I ordered Egusi and Sakha-Sakha. The Egusi tasted a bit fishy and off, and had a borderline inedible chunk of organ meat that turned me off of the whole order. I'm down for offal, but not when it's awful. The Sakha-Sakha was better??? I guess? This is certainly not the quality I'd experienced in prior years from Teranga. It still had that fishiness to it, and the meat was tough, as if dried or frozen. There were tiny bits of bone in multiple pieces of meat that had me concerned about chipping a tooth (and not the big chunks I come to expect of the cuisine, these were literally inside small pieces of meat). I got a refund from doordash that has me feeling a bit better, but I'm honestly worried about food posioning.

First time eating AUTHENTIC African food and it did not disappoint. We were really excited to try Fufu since we have been hearing about it for a while now (it was AMAZING). The staff was super sweet and bubbly, and the food they prepared was delicious!! Everything we ordered was amazing and we will definitely visit this restaurant again!!

I have been going to Terangas for years but they have definitely lost their touch or there is a new cook. My food was very bland so bland I had to come home and put some seasoning which Is something I never had to do because it's always seasoned well. The cabbage isn't good anymore, very crunchy. You'll need to step it up or hire the old cook back. I was very disappointed with my meal. I ordered red snapper, curry chicken, peas rice cabbage and chicken wings.

As a girl from the Ivory Coast . Everytime I make it to Cincinnati I make sure to stop by. Everything is made exactly how I remember it from my moms kitchen. Though this is Senegalese owned , west Africans share a lot of the same dishes and I am so happy I found this place. If I don't have time to cook no matter I can find exactly what I need here! Please go try it out!!
