Kanu Bar|Grill

“Service was genuinely great. The hostess was one of the nicest people I've ever encountered checking guests into a restaurant. I've been to Michelin-star spots and didn't get that level of warmth. I really wish I caught her name because she deserves recognition. The place was definitely vibing around 8pm. There wasn't a DJ, just a playlist, which would've been fine except we heard the same songs three times during our stay. That got annoying pretty quickly. Food was hit or miss. The wings weren't for me. I finished them, but only because I wasn't hungry, not because they were good. The rice and peas were also a bit too soft for my liking. That said, the burger was solid. I usually hate crinkle-cut fries, but surprisingly, they were good. Drinks were good across the board. One odd thing, they didn't have the Knicks game on, which felt strange for a Harlem spot. Overall, I'm not sure I'd return specifically for the food, but the drinks, atmosphere, and service make it worth a visit, especially if they have a DJ next time. 18% gratuity automatic + service charge Food 3 Service 5 Vibes 4 (could be a 5 with a better music playlist)”

“The bartender Yasmine is attentive, nice and has great customer service. She did so well with making this cocktail shown in the picture. I would recommend coming to Kanu! Thank you Yasmine !”

“The food was incredible. We got the hennesy wings and the grilled chicken yassa to split between the two of us and it was plenty! The yassa was actually mind bogglingly good! 10/10, must get! We also got mocktails (Princess Amina) and it was SO good! If you are a drinker, you should absolutely ask for the princess amina and get it spiked with a shot of rum! VERY yummy! Our waitress Keila was wonderful, she was super friendly and very kind :) It is a pricier meal but for how good the food was, I'd not hesitate to pay (: PS. gratuity is included but it never hurts to tip your wonderful waitstaff more, ESPECIALLY when they are as wonderful as Keila (:”
