Awesome 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.

Senegalese restaurant by day, dance spot by night, you don't have to dress up to grind to the reggaeton , Latin and world beats, but you do have to try Baobab's signature hibiscus and ginger drinks. Read more

Oh 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 Bayarri

The chicken banana and salad platter was really good, and the tamarind margarita a nice twist

Marcel Molina

The 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.

Come here for the delicious entrees, unpretentious vibe, and especially the live DJ after 9:30. Listening to some chill Afro jazz right now…

Vansi

If 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.

Tone Mosley

Great place for Afro-Cuban/Caribbean music . Dance floor gets Very Crowded and Hot. Be prepared to Sweat!!! Only 1 bathroom - SF

Mextaliana

Although 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 Phan

Has a neighborhood charm in the Mission. Be sure to come for their Happy Hour (5;30-7:00).

Delicious ginger tea and fried plantains , but the entrees were just okay and very small portions. The staff was great and very nice.

Dibi was great. Lamb with an onion mustard sauce . If it sounds good, you'll probably like it.

When picking meat and carbs, go for tilapia and couscous . Yum!

Anne Simonson

For 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.

Went 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
