“Soulful, satisfying and delicious food freshly prepared everyday…”
I really can’t fault this place. Like the food served – Little Baobab is home-made with love. The rustic decor, vibrant atmosphere and live music all have a story to tell… And it’s in harmony with the dishes served!
My friends Guylene, whom I met through a car-share in LA to San Diego for Brazil Day in 2010, was in town for a short stint and thankfully extended to me her invite from musician Kyazi to join him and Kora players at the Senegalese ‘hide out’. I opted for the Pan-fried sea bass, new potatoes, green beans, rocket salad and avocado salsa (£9.00) from their European menu selection, and Haitian-American-now-living-in-Italy Kora musician Guylene went with the Mafe; lamb peanut stew with vegetables and rice (£8.00). Both met expectations without any flaw.
On the drinks menu the fresh juices caught our attention. For Guylen the thirst quencher bissap Juice; dried blossoms of the Hibiscus bush (£2.00), and for me the daringly sharp Ginger Juice made made of ginger and lime (£2.00).
I’m no expert when it comes to Senegalese food, however I do know good food when I taste it. And Little Baobab is big on flavour!
Arrive early to dine before catching the live music with authentic tones of the Kora (Tuesdays and Sundays).
