Ten African nations qualified for the 2026 World Cup. So we made ten dishes — one for each — plus our Stadium Street Rolls. Every match plays on our screens inside The Hungry Pearl at 100 Pearl Street. Walk in. Sit down. Eat your team.
Order onlineThe Lions of Teranga have two group-stage matches at MetLife Stadium. Stop by The Hungry Pearl before kickoff for a Lion Smash Burger, or come back after for a victory dinner. The walk to the train takes the same time as ordering.
