Why We Like It
Sylvia Woods was the force behind this storied Harlem icon, and she wasn’t dubbed the “Queen of Soul Food” for nothing. Open since 1962, Sylvia’s Restaurant is a community treasure that’s anchored in its roots, and still owned and operated by the Woods family. You’re here for the homestyle plates that’re as soul-warming as the woman herself, so pay tribute to this Harlem legend and stop by for impeccable soul food, gospel brunch Sundays, and the occasional VIP visit.

Enjoy the best of both worlds in our Outdoor Village — a covered dining space that offers the feel of outdoor dining with the comfort of an enclosed setting. The space is heated during cooler months and ventilated with open windows and fans during warmer weather; however, temperatures may vary and the space can become warm in the summer. Seating in the Outdoor Village is weather-permitting and may be relocated if conditions require.
