My partner and I visited Le Baobab Gouygi 2 today for a late Sunday lunch, per a friend's recommendation. It's a casual spot where you seat yourself and order at the counter. We started with a bag of small, cornbread-like buns that were slightly sweet and so delicious--perfect for snacking before the main dishes arrived. We also ordered two homemade drinks: the Senegal ginger drink, which had a bold kick to it, and the bouye drink, made from baobab fruit, which was creamy, slightly tangy, and refreshing. We'd never tasted anything like these. Both were unique and complemented the flavors of the food, which came out quickly. For our main dishes, we tried the Chicken Yassa, a traditional Senegalese dish of marinated chicken cooked with caramelized onions, lemon, and mustard. It had a wonderful tangy flavor with tender, flavorful chicken that literally fell off the bone. We also had the Thiebou Djen, the national dish of Senegal, which is a savory, tomato-based fish and rice dish cooked with vegetables like carrots, cabbage, and cassava. I opted for red jollof over yellow and loved the crispy parts. This dish was rich, hearty, and packed with flavor. We wanted to try the Fataya (fried fish or meat turnovers) but unfortunately, they were out. Despite that, we had more than enough food; we left feeling stuffed and still took home a large to-go container. The food came out quickly, and the staff was prompt with bringing water to the table. Overall, it was a great West African dining experience with generous portions and authentic flavors. We'll definitely be ordering their delivery!

Hole in the wall spot packed with flavor: not the coziest spot to eat in so I got takeout but they have some hits. Grab the thieray (see photos) - the marinated lamb that comes with it is unbelievably delicious!! The grilled meats were smokey and paired well with the pickled onions on the side.

Delicious and inviting. I recommend this place. The service was fast. The food is delicious. The fish was well seasoned so was the rice. Large portion.

Great food at a very affordable price Baobab is a senegalease restaurant that offers a large variety of food from rice fish and vegetables to their lamb chop or chicken barbecue served in a handsome plate

Delicious food! Sorry to hear about the fire :( I hope they reopen soon. Eager to go back.

I swear by the grilled fish. You need to put one of these in Coney Island. I swear everyone loves the grilled fish with the mustard onion sauce. From my Chinese Supervisor to all the Middle Easterners, Africans, Latinos. It's such a universal dish. I'm telling you. We need this on this side of town. I'm tired of traveling to get it.

The portions are amazing I left with a full belly and happy heart. Great for lunch or dinner with friends to enjoy this place with.

I come here once a week on Fridays. I usually order Theobou Yapp, or one of the Maffe dishes. My friends order the fish, Attieke, grilled lamb and/or grilled chicken. Everything slaps. Everything. The pepper sauce is also elite. The grilled onions and vegetables, everything. 10/10
