About Us

At Islaé, we invite you to Taste Elegance. Taste Islaé.

Born from the vision of Hugh and Neh Campbell, Islaé blends the richness of Afro-Caribbean heritage with the timeless sophistication of Harlem’s jazz legacy. Hugh, with his Jamaican roots and love of soulful flavors, and Neh, with her Sierra Leonean background and Harlem upbringing, have created a dining experience where cultures meet and stories are told through food, music, and atmosphere.

From the moment you step inside, Islaé is a sanctuary of rhythm and flavor—lavender-hued elegance, the smooth sounds of jazz, and a menu that celebrates both tradition and innovation. It is a place where Nelson Mandela, Sade, Michael Jackson, and Prince would have felt at home, surrounded by warmth, sophistication, and community.

Islaé is not just a restaurant—it’s a destination, a love letter to Harlem, and a bridge between Africa and the Caribbean right in the heart of Pelha
