Manna's Restaurant

Nestled on 320 Saint Nicholas Avenue in the heart of Harlem, Manna's Soul Food & Salad Bar is a beloved community hub that has been serving up Southern comfort since the 1980s. Founder Betty Park, a Korean immigrant who made community involvement a priority, created a menu that reads like a family’s American food story. Guests can wander through a bright, buffet‑style dining room where the scent of crispy fried chicken, buttery collard greens, candied yams, and creamy mac & cheese fills the air. The salad bar offers fresh greens, pickled vegetables, and homemade dressings, perfect for balancing the hearty mains. Signature dishes include the Southern‑style catfish, honey‑glazed pork ribs, and a sweet peach cobbler that rounds out the meal. Oldies spin on the speakers, creating a nostalgic Harlem vibe while friendly staff greet each table by name. Open seven days a week—Sunday 9 am‑9 pm, Monday‑Tuesday 8 am‑9 pm, Wednesday‑Friday 8 am‑10 pm, Saturday 9 am‑10 pm—Manna's serves breakfast daily and offers lunch and dinner options priced between $10 and $20 per plate. The restaurant also provides full‑service catering for birthdays, weddings, corporate events, and holiday parties, with customizable menus that showcase the same soulful flavors. Whether you’re a local craving a taste of home or a tourist exploring Harlem’s culinary scene, Manna's promises a warm, flavorful experience that feels like coming home.
