Ok I hate to be that person, but I will be because that's what I do. I write honest restaurant reviews period. First off the Baobab used to be THE PLACE to go for the best attieke. Since the covid, the male chef never returned, a sad tragedy! A few months ago when my husband came from Africa he had heard of this place, so I decided to take him there. The appearance was embarrassing but I assured him "the food is fantastic." So we ordered their famous Tieke et poulet, sadly it was nowhere near the usual but I determined the original cook wasn't there so I decided not to judge too harshly. But on this past Wednesday hubby and I decided to give them a second chance. Again the appearance was that of a dilapidated rundown house and I should've turned around . And after seeing that they had peanut butter stew in the fridge (I should've known that was laziness, cuz that's the easiest to make and does not need to be sitting for more than a day) But we ordered attieke and chicken and grilled lamb anyway. To my dismay the original cook wasn't there again, but the ladies seemed nice. The food at the moment we picked it up was already lukewarm to touch which I found very surprising/alarming, so I made a comment to my husband regarding it. And when I ate the chicken and Tieke, and it was a small portionw a drumstick which I couldn't finish, (at 7 months pregnant I Never vomit during my pregnancies,) but I became so violently ill 5 minutes after eating their food!!! The chicken was undercooked w pink on the inside and the outside was as if someone threw the meat on a gas grill to blacken it. And the lamb was so dry and hard, you I just knew that lamb had been sitting in the fridge for days waiting to be microwaved. I was so sick and in so much pain, my whole body was shaking! I blacked out from 5p to 9pm!! Unbeknownst to my husband he went and ate the rest of the food so I had to nurse him back to health. Luckily my 7yo didn't get to eat it and was the only one who didn't get sick. So I say all of this to say eat at your own risk but I will not recommend this place to my frenemy!!!
