Le Baobab Gouygui

Omg! I've been craving some delicious, authentic African food. My beautiful coworkers recommended this spot. I been seeing them eat this delicious Djollof and finally decided to try it. I was so excited to see a fish option with the Djollof rice. It was amazing, delightful flavoring, a bunch of large pieces of veggies like cabbage, eggplant, carrot... I will definitely be back for more. I can't wait for my Father to try this Blessed African food from Senegal.

I was born and raised in Harlem, but obviously had not spent enough time in Little Senegal. When I tell you my eyes welled up upon tasting their Thieboudienne a.k.a. “OG Jollof rice”… Had later told my date “He had ruined me; and this is the only rice I ever wanted to eat.” I want to marry that beautiful Senegalese man. 🤫shh…

The team here creates a warm feeling that enhances every meal. This place impresses time after time. The food offers guilt-free deliciousness. The employees showed kindness in every interaction. I intend to dine at this restaurant again.

First time having Senegalese food, and I was NOT disappointed! TLDR: Go here!! It's delicious! We came in on a Sunday between 930 and 10 pm... and this place stayed busy until we left about 1045. The portions are huge and the prices are great! We should have taken a cue from the locals and shared a big dish, but we wanted to try several things. I'm glad we did get a variety because we ate it all for leftovers the next night! I forgot to take a picture of two of the dishes: Thiebou Yapp and Lamb Maffe... they were both excellent, though! The Lamb Maffe was a little too spicy for me, but it was still so good!! The Yapp was great also! The other two (pictured) were the Mechoui and Thieray. Delicious!!! Definitely adding to my saved restaurants!

The food is good, not the best Senegalese food I’ve had but it’s good. I’m writing this reviews because the men in there need to learn how to calm down. I know a restaurant can’t control their customers but the male customers were extremely rude to my friend and I (two young women). Pushing us without saying excuse me, giving us dirty looks, making noises at us and unnecessary comments when we were just trying to order some food at night. None of the workers spoke up or helped us. Just because of this I will not be returning and I advise any young woman to not go here without a man present especially at night. Even with the cameras in the store we didn’t feel safe.
