Most travelers who are NOT from Harlem know about Sylvia's Soul Food Restaurant on Lenox and 126th Street. Local people who LIVE in Harlem know about Jacobs.
Excellent soul food and Jamaican dishes - and yes, it's better than Sylvia's. Food here is weighed by the pound. So you pick and choose what food you'd like to sample and place in your container; price is ~$6/lb
Their mac-n-cheese and jerk chicken are outstanding.
