Good food, generous portions.
I lived in west Africa for many years and was missing this food. It was recommended by an Ivorian lady in Harlem and it didn’t disappoint. The peanut sauce, yassa, and jollof (thieb) were all delicious. Service was great and very accommodating to families
This place is just okay.

Le Baobab Gouygui, an Authentic Senegalese Restaurant, is open late in Harlem. The grilled Tilapia and grilled fish are highlights, with big portions for a fair price. The price is very very great and amount of food that they give you is like if home with your family. Service is generally nice, with quick response to issues and the workers' care for guests is why this place succeeds. Their excellence is evident in meal preparation and service behavior. The atmosphere avoided stiffness, embracing warmth and the vibe makes you feel right in Africa. The restaurant will satisfy your needs with African cuisine options like Thiebou Yapp, Lamb Maffe, Mechoui, Thieray, thiebu djen, jollof rice, and the Thieboudienne a.k.a. “OG Jollof rice”. The dishes are flavorful and well-rounded, filled with spices, sauces, meats, and veggies. The fish is tender, the sauces pair perfectly with the rice, and the veggies are nice and tender. The lamb is smoky and flavorful, though it has lots of bones. The bissap has a deep, concentrated hibiscus flavor. The restaurant stays busy, especially on weekends. Despite the shabby appearance, the food is excellent, and the employees are friendly and helpful.
