This place was recommended to us by friends and I can see why. The food is absolutely flavorful and really amazing! Service was good and thought for. This place is a little whole it the wall but it makes it even better. Excited to bring my South African students and try it out.

Was looking for restaurants that had jerk chicken, and gave Teranga a try. I ordered the Yassa yap and jerk chicken with greens. The presentation and temperature were good, the jerk chicken and the side of rice were extremely delicious! The chicken was soft and flavorful. The rice was regular white rice but so web cooked, I loved it. I was not a fan of the Yassa yap which is lamb because the meat was chewy and it was mostly fat rather than meat. Also, the greens were not that great because they were mooshy. Overall, it was good to give it a try, I will try their oxtails next time.

The best fusion Afro-Caribbean food out there! Loved the Thiebu Djeun and their fresh ginger drink is divine; generous portions too...

We finally got our African food after being refused service up the street from 221 restaurant. At Teranga the food is good and all cultures are welcome.

Oh man, writing this review makes my mouth water again thinking of how good their food is. I was taken to this place after a long flight and it was late. We got there a little after 8pm so it was coming close to their closing time. Yet we were greeted with the warmest smiles by the staff in here. They were very welcoming with bubbly personality, patiently asked if we had any questions. However my eyes were already fixated on the first item on their Jamaican menu and just couldn't help myself but ordered the Jerk Chicken. It comes with rice and peas as well as a side of cabbage. I asked for small but hot damn, the portion was massive! Honestly it would last you at least 2-3 seatings. The chicken was well-cooked and well-seasoned. It was tender and not at all tough. Very tasty. I have no idea what they put in the sauce cause that thing was addicting, bursting flavors of spices that married beautifully. I honestly couldn't stop taking a bite after another, really delicious. My companion got the Curry Chicken and he inhaled his food really fast. He had been there numerous times and told me that you could never go wrong with anything you ordered from here whether from the Senegalese or Jamaican menu. I was kicking myself a little for not taking the time to look at the other dishes as they all sound and look amazing. The restaurant itself was small inside but very well-maintained. From the moment we walked in to the moment we left the restaurant, the foot traffic for takeout was non-stop, the queue stayed long. The parking was easy with the parking lot right in front. I hope to visit here again the next time I'm in town.

I was well pleased with the service of the staff here. I like that they have quick service and move the line fairly quickly. The business seems to be owned and operated by families. The food was hot and delicious. There were options for fish and vegetarian plate. The fish included rice, vegetables, and a green spinach sauce. I ordered an extra side of plantains. The vegetarian dish offered cabbage, rice, and peas, red sauce, and plantains. If you enjoy authentic cultural foods, you will not be disappointed. Be prepared for a little spice. Prices are reasonable and it's clean.

Senegalese and Jamaican cuisine are two of my favorite foods and Teramga does both well. Everything I've ordered from here has been legit. They make the BEST Thiebou Djeun this side of the rIver and I've dined at all of Cincys Senegalese joints. Their grilled pouisson is always perfectly grilled served with tasty raw onions in mustard sauce. As a Jamaican, I can attest their oxtails, curry chicken, and rice and peas is the real deal. Make sure to add a ginger beer to your meal. I don't know how they do it but please don't stop!
