Margot SeetoNovember 10, 2017Awesome happy hour (5-7pm) meal deal: Appetizer, main course, and a house cocktail for $20. A steal! Good for veggos and omnivores alike. Love the tamarind and hibiscus drinks.
Rachel RebeccaNovember 17, 2013Oh wow! That was amazing!!!! Not sure if I have axe extensive enough of a vocabulary to express how tasty the food was! And the servers were all really friendly. Definitely coming back!!!
Clara BayarriOctober 15, 2014The chicken banana and salad platter was really good, and the tamarind margarita a nice twist
John WNovember 24, 2011Come here for the delicious entrees, unpretentious vibe, and especially the live DJ after 9:30. Listening to some chill Afro jazz right now…
Tone MosleyJuly 23, 2017Great place for Afro-Cuban/Caribbean music. Dance floor gets Very Crowded and Hot. Be prepared to Sweat!!! Only 1 bathroom - SF
Marcel MolinaMay 15, 2011The Yassa (marinated onions in a lemon garlic mustard sauce) with tilapia and couscous is literally one of my favorite things to eat in San Francisco. Get a hibiscus margarita to go with it.
Dimitra WOctober 18, 2013Awesome service, great music and drinks, food was amazing and loved my dessert. (See picture)
MextalianaOctober 28, 2011Although not a "salsa joint" - they play do play a wide mix of world beats including salsa, bachata, reggae, African and more. They serve yummy Senegalese too. Worth checking out.
Thim PhanApril 19, 2013Has a neighborhood charm in the Mission. Be sure to come for their Happy Hour (5;30-7:00).
Jim VitekAugust 5, 2013Dibi was great. Lamb with an onion mustard sauce. If it sounds good, you'll probably like it.
Steven WakuuMay 4, 2018Delicious ginger tea and fried plantains, but the entrees were just okay and very small portions. The staff was great and very nice.
Victor SomMarch 28, 2014Had a vegetarian dish with tofu and a specialty cocktail ... Chris the bartender is great! Marco, the owner really friendly.
Philip SebastianAugust 16, 2013Try the fried bananas and the infusion rum.. Both light sweet with a great vibrant taste. Feels like you're in the Caribbean!
VansiJanuary 6, 2016If you come for dinner before it turns into a club, you don't have to pay the cover! Just make sure to get your hand stamped if you step out.- Carina AndersenMarch 26, 2015Get the red curry lamb and a pitcher of tamarind margarita and you're all set!
Jennifer BurlingtonNovember 15, 2014Coconut infused rum! The food was great too, best couscous I've ever had.
Thomas IgemeMarch 3, 2013One of my favorite food spots in the city. Authentic culture. Delicious food. First rate service :)
Rita SchiesserOctober 8, 2010Delicious food. One of my favorite restaurants for north african couscous although you feel like you're eating a whole chicken with it. Try the coconut dish too
Brendan CurranAugust 7, 2014Sweet cocktails and fun for dancing. The bathroom lines get backed up frequently though.
Oriana WenMarch 4, 2013Get a free cocktail pitcher on your birthday! Then stick around after dinner for some reggae beats.
Susan LohJuly 29, 2011Delicious Senegalese food and cocktails! When you finish dinner, go around the corner to Little Baobab and dance your ass off.- Grub CrawlNovember 10, 2010Went on a Grub Crawl with them! Had their chicken skewers, peanut sauce, plantains and grilled tofu. www.grubcrawl.com Check out some of the Baobab photos: Read more
Michael LucasFebruary 16, 2015Great scene for dancing, but it's hard to get the DJs to play your songs sometimes
Anne SimonsonJune 19, 2010For brunch eat outside if weather permits - the DJ plays the music waaaayyy too loudly. And bring cash-they don't take plastic. The French toast is positively scrumptious.
Casey CallendrelloMarch 28, 2010Get the chicken Dibi. You can't go wrong with the mix of flavors, and it comes with some salad and plantains.
Nisha MenezesAugust 18, 2010Great drinks..hibuscus margarita..good mix. Try the fries and the lamb dibi..avocado creole was yummy too if u like crab!
Diego RufoMarch 24, 2011
Fantastic. Food is excellent and you can buy $20 pitchers of delicious drinks (such as Flamboyant).
Smoochella ScrumptiousNovember 21, 2013My plantains were almost frozen. :( I prefer them piping hot.
Brittany PowellAugust 2, 2010Great dairy free options!! Dishes with coconut milk instead of cream... mmmmm.
