Best Restaurants for Spicy Food in Fordham

Lagos went above and beyond my expectations. The food was incredible. They weren’t cheap with the liquor in the drinks. The vibe was great and they played the best music. I love the fact that the manager and the waiters always checked on us to make sure that we were good. I would definitely go back again.

Amazing food and atmosphere. From the gumbo to the brown butter bourbon bread pudding, we enjoyed every bite! The jazz trio authenticated the experience. Chef Eric brings the flavors and dishes from the Big Easy to NYC. Highly recommend!

This was a nice restaurant. Our food was good. We ordered fried dumplings, house special fried rice, general tso chicken, and orange chicken. Both our chickens looked the same so I think they messed up our order and gave us both general tso chicken. Again, it was good but I was disappointed that I did not get to eat orange chicken. I loved their house special fried rice, it was delicious. Everyone was kind and the restaurant was clean.

The atmosphere, décor, and service were excellent—truly top-notch. However, I found the $60 Restaurant Week dinner menu to be on the lighter side. The staff encouraged us to order additional dishes for sharing, which we didn’t opt for, but unfortunately, we didn’t feel full and ended up getting food elsewhere afterward. For my main course, I chose the beef dish and was surprised to find it was a patty—I wish this had been clearly indicated on the menu. It wasn’t particularly impressive. That said, the cocktail and dessert were the highlights of the meal and truly stood out.

Hidden neighborhood gem with great food, excellent drinks, and a unique, comfortable atmosphere. Very happy our original option was no longer available when we went back to secure a reservation!
