VN – 22 Mar, 2025

We checked out Little Baobab restaurant at The Africa Centre in Southwark. Our first time sampling Senegalese food. We were keen to try the fermented products on the menu, of which there were several. We tried the attiéké, a tangy cassava dish with a cous cous like texture; plus thiakry (also known as chakry or degue) a soured milk dessert using wholegrain millet flour, hand-rolled into tiny balls. These are then steamed and added to the soured milk base. And finally, a palm spirit, infused with hibiscus, was unlike anything we'd tasted before. Incredible. Little Baobab is a gem - affordable, good vibes, and the food is delicious. We will be back!
