This Uptown West African restaurant, a 100-seater from the folks behind Bolat African Cuisine, is a good bit speedier than its kin. Instead of table service, Iyanze has a cafeteria-style setup, with a la carte options dished up from steam tables. Expect mostly Nigerian and Ghanaian dishes, with a few selections from Francophone countries such as Ivory Coast in the mix too. Though you’ll recognize many favorites from the Bolat menu, including jollof rice, there's more emphasis on grilled and stewed fish and meats than fried fare here.
