It started at our table. Now it’s coming to yours.

That smoky West African tomato sauce at the foundation of our menu at Teranga? It has a name now — Jamm Jamm — and it’s ready to travel.

West African roots. New York hustle. Made to move from jollof to pasta to whatever’s next.

This is just the first taste of what’s coming. 🍅
