Gorée Cuisine sits at 1126 E 47th St in Kenwood, a Senegalese restaurant owned by Adama Ba. The menu runs through West African staples: Yassa fish, jollof rice, attieke, dibi lamb dinner, grilled fish, curry, and starters like fataya and nem. Ginger and hibiscus drinks round out the table.
The space reads as cozy rather than formal, and it draws a mix of solo diners, families, and groups. Regulars keep coming back for the Yassa fish and jollof rice in particular, and the restaurant has built a reputation in the neighborhood as a Black-owned staple on 47th Street.
