West African Restaurants in Brooklyn, NY

“PERFECT meal. Everything was so delicious, Im only sad I couldnt try it all!!!! The octopus was cooked perfectly the moi moi loved, and the iyan ati egusi BLEW ME AWAY. Also the puff puff for dessert was the totally perfect taste and texture. I can not say enough good things about this. Also its BYOB but there is a wine store next door.“

“Incredible vibe. Unique vinyl selection, amazing food, and a host who has mastered the art of the evening. It feels like dining at the house of someone with impeccable taste in both spice and sound. The speakers are the absolute star of the room—crisp, warm, and perfectly tuned to the space. 10/10, would move in if I could.“

“Amazing food. Amazing service. 10/10“

“I had a wonderful time the food was delicious 😋“

“I ordered the Bissap and Ginger drinks. Personally I am not a fan of the ginger- it’s a little spicy which I’m pretty sensitive too. I gifted those to my mom who liked them! I really enjoy the Bissap. It is flavor packed and delicious!“

“This spot just came onto my radar and the food blows me away. We tackled this dish as a team. Having just settled in the area, I was pleased to find this place. The team constantly delivered more than expected. Le Baobab maintains reliable standards.“

“I really like their steak suya bowl, it's spicy and has a healthy serving of veggies and we'll flavored meat. Definitely recommend“

“Great food, plentiful portions and Zarif is very personable! I’ll definitely be a regular customer!“

“Delicious. Food is packed with flavor- like every bite is a party. The goat and fish were cooked perfectly- tender and full of spice and savory. Jollof rice had an aromatic smokiness to it which I loved.
Everyone was welcoming and friendly.
The fuufu was the best pairing for the food. Tried the amala too (I think base may have been cassava and it's more dense) and whole wheat fuufu too but neither topped the original.“

“It's on same block, few yards away from Masjid Taqwa. Food and price are great for budget, there is always people frequenting so you know food quality is good and its always moving. Plenty of seating, no frills, people continue to come here for so many years“

“My standard expectations were blown out of the water. The restaurant delivers good value consistently. The food comes fresh, tastes great, and offers many choices. The restaurant proprietor was sweet and considerately helpful. A really outstanding restaurant visit!“

“Went with my wife after church service, instead of take out, we dined in. The food is great, service is impeccable. While we were there, they attended to almost 20 orders. Everyone was just in and out with their orders. Very respectable. The following Sunday, we had to do a take out. The Iyan and egusi soup was so good that when I could barely finish the food, they thought I was done with the food, and they came to clean up... I was like nope, I'm just resting I will finish it 😀😀. Good food“

“I would post a picture but I ate my entire platter (2 people could've shared that but I ate all of it). Everything was delicious- it looks like they had not so great reviews a few months ago but maybe they fixed the issue because my meal and fresh juice was fantastic, especially for the price.“

“Most walk by without noticing this place. This restaurant knows how to set the perfect scene. The taste experience works, service flows naturally, and food quality justifies the cost. Staff combined warmth with good information. This spot should be prioritized.“

“Good and tasty food. Neat environment. Pleasant owners and staff.“
