Ever since first opening our doors in 1996, Bissap Baobab has brought the savory, succulent flavors of Senegal to San Francisco’s Mission District. Starting in May 2014, we now bring what we call “The Baobab Family” to Oakland. Our menu consists of traditional Senegalese cuisine and West African-California fusion specialties.
Choose from a full range of gourmet African dishes, including starters, entrees, desserts; and our newest addition- Afro Wraps – our version of a West African burrito. Then wash it all down with one of our homemade juices: hibiscus, tamarind, or ginger. We also squeeze our own juice blends, so drop in to see the flavor of the day!
More than just a restaurant, Bissap Baobab Oakland is a community center, with a laid back, yet distinctly cosmopolitan, worldly vibe which upholds the concept of an African village.
Our name is a tribute to the meaningful symbol of life, community, and culture in Africa — the Baobab tree.
Just like its mighty namesake, Bissap Baobab provides sustenance and shelter for a multicultural community sharing in food, dance, and celebration. Join us for a meal, a song, or a dance, and become part of the family!
