Baobab Fare

The food was so flavorful! Had sambusa appetizer- could eat like a dozen of them! - so good and it’s dipping sauce! We had the Nyumbani and Kumuhana, with coconut rice and a side of kuku- drank warm delicious hibiscus tea, and ended with the coco mango dessert! 10/10 for flavors and portions! Very friendly service; quick serving of food! Definitely going back here over and over! Parking was available street side via a Detroit parking app (was like $2 for 2 hrs)… definitely recommend going here for anyone looking for some authentic East African flavors!

This is my 2nd time coming here. It was so good that I had to come again. Great authentic East African comfort food! Food comes out quickly and is delicious EVERY SINGLE TIME! No matter how finicky your palette may be, you will find something absolutely delicious and filling! This is my new favorite place!

Cool “neighborhood” eatery. Tasty foods with nice warm spices. Lamb shank was off-the-bone tender. Fried fish perfectly seasoned and good texture. Loved the spiced rice. Fizzy drink very refreshing. Service was friendly and efficient. An unpretentious relaxed vibe. Great place to try out African cooking and flavors.

Had a wonderful experience at this African restaurant! The vibe was warm and has a welcoming atmosphere that made the whole evening enjoyable. The food was incredibly flavorful—rich spices, well-seasoned tender meats, and delicious sides that really brought everything together. You can tell the dishes are made with care. Service was friendly and attentive as well. I definitely recommend making a reservation. Looking forward to coming back! 🌍🍽️

Absolutely wonderful experience. Service was prompt and friendly, and the location and atmosphere were both really great. Lovely building with a laid-back feel. And the food was exceptional. My mom got the intore eggplant stew, which was savory and hearty, and wonderfully prepared. They allowed her to get half-sizes of the 2 rice options (spices pilau and coconut rice) as well as the peanut stewed spinach and the yellow beans, and a generous serving of fried plantains. Everything was so flavorful and hearty. I got the nyumbani beef, which was perfectly tender and so delightful. I also got the pilau and coconut rice to try them both, and I got the peanut stewed spinach and plantains. Everything was instant comfort food - so rich and warm and full of flavor. I also got an African tea, which was Lipton black tea with added spices and frothy milk. My mom got the spiced coffee, which was a wonderful blend of spices and nice strong coffee. We were both too full to get dessert, which was a real shame because they all sounded incredible. I would love to come back and try some more dishes. Highly recommend if you are in the area and looking for a great experience!
