Almost all of the food at Bissap Baobab was delicious. The pastelles were a great choice for a starter, and we couldn't resist ordering extra seafood coco and dibi because they were so good. The noise level was moderate when we visited at 6 pm on a Thursday, and the atmosphere was perfect for a group gathering. One thing to note is that Bissap Baobab does not have a liquor license, so they do not serve any alcoholic drinks (as of 5/23/19). This was surprising to us, as their menu includes several cocktail options both online and in the restaurant. The previous location, the old Bissap, had offered alcoholic beverages.

We had a very satisfying meal at this funky little place that serves up tasty Senegalese cuisine. Low key and decorated in colorful Western African colors, the menu has a diverse selection of appetizers and entrees featuring richly spiced (but not spicy) flavors, inc. curry, coconut, plantains, peanuts, rice, couscous with meat (chicken, lamb, prawns, fish) and veggie options. Friendly and attentive service. A real neighborhood gem.
This was a pop up event with a special chef who is not usually there so I can 't speak for the usual menu. We did feel cheated because we paid a reservation fee and were shoved to the place next door the one that will remain open) in a small dark corner, service was chaotic I never got the drink I ordered) and the portions were ridiculously small for the price. The little we ate was good but the whole experience was a fail !
This is a nice bohemian little place in the Mission district with good and affordable food--plus live MUSIC, but be sure to check for when it's happening. We've been here a few times on a Sat. eve., and enjoyed hearing live kora with voice and percussion during and after our African dinner. Mixed drinks are interesting, and they also offer unusual non-alcoholic drinks. We'll definitely return and bring some friends.

Anderes Menü als sonst am Abend, als wir gingen, da sie ein Pop-up veranstalteten. Das Essen war immer noch gut, nur kleine Portionen für den Preis, den mein Freund und ich nach dem Essen ein zweites Abendessen bekamen - der Service war freundlich, aber etwas langsam und reagierte nicht auf uns, als wir nach dem Scheck fragten
This is one of my top spots in the city! The food and drinks are always fantastic, and the atmosphere is excellent. I haven't come across any other Senegalese restaurants in the area, so I always look forward to dining here.
The restaurant was closed even though their website indicated they were open. We tried calling ahead but no one answered and the mailbox was full so we couldn't leave a message. It was a terrible experience.
Sad to see that they have had to move into a smaller space as the original restaurant was so much more interesting. But the food is still excellent, the service fantastic, and can't beat the value!
