    Filè, pronounced fee-lay, means thread or string in French. It refers to the dried and ground leaves of the North American sassafras tree. This is an essential ingredient and was introduced to the Cajuns by the Choctaw Indians in the 18th century. Dining at Filé is an educational feast of the culinary subtleties of Cajun and Creole food They combine slow-cooked and flavor-rich bases with quality proteins, simmered in steam kettles. If you lucky and snag a seat at the end of the bar you can watch them in action! #CreoleCookingNYC #CajunFlavorsNYC #blackownedbusiness #GumboGuruNYC #CajunCuisineNYC #BayouBitesNYC #SupportBlackBusinessNYC #EatUpNewYork #NYCDining #BiteOfTheCity #FlavorsofNYC

    Food was really good but gave it 4 stars because I was sit next to the kitchen at the bar. Which I felt overstimulated. However I liked that the waiter check back constantly to see how I was doing. From the char grilled oysters to the shrimp/crab gumbo and the beignets.. chef kiss!

    Overall it was fantastic! I will be back! Most of the food was outstanding! They were short staffed so this had a little impact, we didn’t get our wine until after we’d finished our meal, but minor detail. The atmosphere, ambience, food, was brilliant. Love this Black establishment and we will be back! Thanks File for our last meal In New York!

    I had Gumbo in Nola. Now I do not need to go all the way to Nola for a fantastic Gumbo. Their Quail Gumbo was so good. In NYC there are not that many places that offer baked Oysters. Their baked Oysters is a cross between Acme’s and some of the Oysters at the Continental Hotel, but more of an elevated experience with baked seafood on top w/the Juicy oysters at the bottom. Hostess took care of the little hiccup w/my reservation, the other members of the crew were attentive w/my order and efficient with service. The only con, I smelled a bit of the food on the ride back home. 9.5/10 experience. Make sure you give them a try. Excellent food chef & Thank you for a great experience.
