Le Baobab Gouygui

Located on 116th Street, this neighborhood spot features a newly renovated dining room adorned with portraits of African-American luminaries. The kitchen starts early, serving breakfast from 6 AM before transitioning to hearty West African plates. The portions are substantial enough that sharing a single large dish is common practice. Alongside the mains, the menu features options like the sweet bouye beverage. Because popular items can sell out quickly, calling ahead to order is recommended, especially during busy weekend stretches.
