Teranga

Little confused by the ratings: a modest size rice bowl with no meat is $17 and $23 if you want chicken and they give a small protein portion. Food was okay, but not great.

The food here is delicious! There was a little bit of a wait to get our food, but it was incredibly worth it. There are limited seats inside, but it makes for a cozy atmosphere and the food was easy to carry out if needed. I'm so glad we stopped to try this place and very sad we don't live close enough to visit it again. The tamarind cider and the flatbread were my favorite!

A family owned restaurant, I got the rice and chicken drumsticks. This is some of the best African food you will find in the Bay Area. They are located in 4 Embarcadero Center next door to Boudin facing the Park Padel glass arenas. Do not be afraid to pass this up. The woman who runs it is the nicest lady you will ever meet. Very humbled and polite. Anything goes on this menu. And they offer a sampler of Tea.

I’ve tried the peanut stew, black bean stew, and chicken drumsticks. They are all so delicious and flavorful! One of my go to lunch spots. Also love the cinnamon/fennel cider!

Amazing food. I saw this place on Google maps and decided to try it out on Friday, having never had Senegalese food before. I was unsure what to order but the lady behind the counter was really helpful and suggested some vegan dishes. I ended up with the Maafe bowl, the most popular item on the menu and it was the best meal I'd had in a long time - really delicious, enjoyed the flavours and the vegetables, as well as the nuts and sweet potatoes. Loved the taste. There are only a couple of chairs inside but lots of outdoor seating just beside the restaurant. Will be back the next time I'm in San Francisco!

I accidentally came across this spot and ordered Mafe bowl as recommend. First time tried it. So good! I like the savory flavor and thick texture of the topping. Nice place and nice people .

I'm obsessed with Teranga, it's one of my favorite places to get lunch. I have tried almost everything on the menu now after years of eating here 😁 from La Cocina to the Embarcadero. If it's your first time, I would recommend the chicken drumsticks or the peanut stew. The owner Nafy is wonderful and I always look forward to seeing her. When I'm not getting food, I like to grab the Love Potion baobab drink ❣️

New to the Embarcadero Teranga is a gem in the heart of San Francisco! I had the hot tamarind cider which was delicious and unlike anything I've had before. The beef samosa was packed with rich, flavorful filling and a perfectly crisp shell. The standout was the Djolof rice with chicken deeply spiced and hearty, definitely enough for two people. I would also highly recommend the Teranga brownie is dense, fudgy, and topped with just the right touch of spice. Will definitely add this to my lunch rotation!
