10 out of 10. enjoyed this place and haven't had senegalese food this good since being in the country itself. the people there are so warm and helpful and the food we got to go proved to be delicious. i wish i took more photos. unfortunately for yall the phone did not eat first. we ordered the plazas (chicken rice spinach) which had a great deal where we ended up getting 2 for 1 and then the michoui (slow braised lamb, jollof rice and a roll). we also ordered a side of plantain. delicious. i'll definitely be back! don't sleep on this hidden gem. read more

I'm not completely sure about the ambiance of this restaurant because I ordered via Uber Eats. Let me start by saying that I'm West African so I'm very familiar with the food served by this restaurant. I was drawn to this restaurant based on its uber eats reviews but also some of the recent reviews I read via yelp - additionally I appreciated the fact that I could order just soup and everything was decently priced. So, I ordered Cassava Leaf, Okra Soup, Jollof Rice, Plantains and Fufu. My order arrived without any of the soups - some mixup with the restaurant. I called and they confirmed they gave the driver my entire order and that I needed to take it up with Uber. For the food I did taste which was the Jollof and plantains I was super underwhelmed - the rice was tasteless and the plantains dry (1 order is 5 pieces). We decided to give them another try and it was just disappointing - the cassava had an overwhelming amount of peanut butter. So much so that you could not taste the cassava or any spice. The okra was better but still lacked spice/heat. Although its proximity to my house is convenient, I will not be trying again. read more

Amazing all around! Great price, great taste, great portions, friendly and helpful service.

They poisoned me hear. Right after I ate, I was throwing up and had diarrhea. Don't Recommend. If you eat hear this might happen to you as well!! read more

Great staff with even better food. I go strictly for the thieboudienne it's always fresh and my jollof is always perfect. The portions for the price are great I usually take 2-3 sittings to finish my meal. And they've done some redecorating so the place looks great read more

My food was great the customer service was amazing as well. I came in to get food to go. It was very comfortable inside, so I sat down to eat a little and ended up finishing my food. read more

I've been eating Senegalese food since 2023. I was with a co-worker who never tried it so we selected this spot for lunch. This was also my first time eating here. The food was good. I ordered the Yassa Chicken with jollof rice. The chicken tasted a bit gamier than I prefer, but overall it was still good. The main reason for the four stars is that none of the tables were clean so we had to ask for someone to clean them in order to dine-in. Once we sat down, our table was wiped, but this was the only concern. Tip: The restaurant is attached to a hair salon, so don't be confused. You just enter the restaurant through a different door. The door facing the street. read more

Very good food we got the nem and fufu and egusi soup it was all excellent. The nem was especially good. You could tell that they really care about the food and the people eating it. read more

Owner was so nice, she assisted me with the menu , the ambiance was home like. It had great parking, the food was superb. I loved the rich creaminess of the soups. The Sorrel is a must try and the pepper sauce had a great kick with lots of flavor. I cant wait to return to try the jollof and fish read more

This is my favorite Senegalese restaurant in ATL. My go to is Soupou Kandja with fufu, which is very flavorful and filling.

Just tried the fufu with egusi soup lord knows the lady there did her thing on this it is absolutely perfect Start to see me every weekend.

Food was delicious and you get lots of food for the price. This was my first time trying them... it was a take out order and everything was delicious. Had some Senegalese rice with lamb and some sweet rounded balls that were spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg I believe... not sure what they're called. read more

Absolutely incredible! Bamba Cuisine serves some of the best Senegalese food I've had outside of West Africa and my kitchen. The lamb dibi was juicy and smoky, the jollof rice packed with flavor, and the boabab drink was perfection. Huge portions, fair prices, and warm, welcoming service. The vibe is casual, but the food is pure soul and authenticity. A must-try if you're in Atlanta -- I'll definitely be back before going back home! read more

Give me my food in a whole silver pan?! - you take win! So I was on the way home and wanted fish but didnt want to go more than 5 minutes off route. I figured at least the jollof might be good. The entire damn plate was DELICIOUS. food was hot and ready within 15 minutes, grilled to order. Service was friendly and zero issues. I will definitely be a repeat customer. read more

The best Egusi soup and fufu in Atlanta, Ga. And their customer service is very good.

Their food is amazing! I'm american and it's difficult to eat at other South African restaurants. Thanks to Bamba I can try different dishes without so much spice. read more

I eat here often. The food is very good, it is not as spicy as some other African restaurants. I have ordered most of their dishes and I have never been disappointed. The cassava leaf is probably my favorite with the Equsi soup being second, but it is all good. The service is also good! read more

The whole fish is what I always get. The fish is an ACTUAL whole fish!!! It is well seasoned and undeniably amazing. The service is quick! While I have never dined inside it still provides the true essence of a family restaurant. read more

Wow, this place was phenomenal! I'm just starting to dive into African cuisine, and this Senegalese place pushed me far along the right path! I got the "cousins" combo, which is your choice of two dishes on the joloff rice. I chose the okra stew and the cassava leaves. Both were excellent! The flavor profile was off the chart. The okra stew was blended okra, African spices, and lamb. The cassava leaves was essentially prepared in the same manner, but its flavor was different. More fish and briny flavors compared to the deep earthy flavors of the okra stew. The joloff rice was very addictive - not sure what all went into this, but I had to force myself to not finish it all because it was a lot of rice! Lastly, the tenderness of the lamb was ridiculous! It came right off the bone, and was saturated with flavor. It was more tender than the lamb I've had at some other African restaurants. The lady who was working that day was very friendly too. Will definitely be coming back here. read more

It hurts me to do this but I bought 2 lamb dibi's tonight and 2 chicken chieb dishes and all the rice was burnt and dry. The chicken was super dry. And they gave me very little onions on my lamb that it was just pathetic. I am hurt that I spent so much money on this food. I'm hurt that I have recommended them to other ppl as the best Senegalese in Atlanta. I am hurt that I have defended them when My Senegalese friend says they aren't good. This is officially a break up. read more

Really good Yassa Poulet (Chicken Poulet) here! Very authentic, with friendly staff. Large portions for $10-21... easily a second meal with all the rice, so you can take it home. read more

The Food is good but I don't care too much about the fufu it tastes like watered down mashed potatoes. The server was helpful.

Food was very good! I especially liked the Nems. But they should give more sauce with them. One dipping container for each Nems you buy. I bought 6 and only had two dipping containers. read more

If I could give this zero stars I would! I ordered this on uber eats , 45 mins before closing when it arrived to my doorstep. There was no fufu or hot sauce like I asked for ! I called the restaurant and they passed the phone around the employee was screaming at me and demanded I call Uber because the driver must have taken my items . Now why would a Uber driver take fufu and some hot sauce! The package didn't look tampered with at all . If this was a honest mistake own it ! Customer service was awful read more

Food was amazing but the place was not. It was a very hot Atlanta day and they only had a fan running. It must have been at least 110*F inside. Those temps affect the fridges and the temperature inside where raw food is kept. I do not feel it is safe for the employees or the patrons waiting for service. I don't think I'd patronize again. Sad. The food was delicious. read more

I ordered online. I got egusi & fufu. Definitely doesn't taste Nigerian because it is a Senegalese restaurant. Wasn't disgusting just not what i expected. 5/10 stars. read more

I tried this place out for the first time yesterday. The food was very flavorful and tasty. A friend recommended i try the fish dish, I'm sorry I don't know the name of it and also the chicken yassif. I also ordered the lamb Shawarma. I'll definitely be back! My only complaint is the food was cold and took over 15 minutes , however it looked already pre-cooked. I would definitely like to try more things from the menu. Next time i want to try the whole fish and some type of sweet dessert.. read more

If I could, I would give it no stars. Flew back to Atlanta at 8pm, 9/19/21. Called from the airport and had a craving for West African food. Three items I asked for (cow foot & oxtail soup, jambalaya and 1 more dish- I forget) sold out. Settled for 2 orders of cassava leaf with lamb, Lamb Dhibi, jollof rice with fish, & 4 ginger/pineapple drinks. Senegalese food. After reviewing their online website and their menu, I observed the prices. No dish I ordered was over $13, with drinks $2.50. At max, perhaps $65-$70 with tax. And I was excited about the food- Family is West African, not from Senegal, but most food items are very similar... at least that's what I thought. In route from Atl airport to camp creek parkway, the store calls me. This should have been a red flag. The man continues... we have Jollof and lamb, just one left, you want. I'm like why you calling me and offering this. He says- you asked for something earlier we didn't have, but we have 1 item if this left. I continue- ok add it. Now.... Total I'm thinking $80-$85 max I arrive- reintroduce myself as the guy who called from airport. My food is already bagged. I thought wow great. As I now approach the counter- I see under the next to register- a food serving (buffet style set up) with food items (pre cooked and sitting in buffet style metal bins and barely covered.) In other words- food sitting out to be served as opposed to ready to cook fresh per order. Casava was sitting out and some white/ yellowish color rice that looked like couscous. As I grab the 2 large bags- they were Luke warm. I'm thinking to myself- I no my African food was not sitting in these metal bins as opposed to be cooked as I ordered. At anyrate- I ask for total- the man enters each item.... $16 and $17 prices. And $7 each for juice. The total was about $120. Nothing worse to calculate a bill based off of advertised pricing to now enter inside a store and being charged different prices. On top of what I observed in the metal bins to be old food. The register reads- custom pricing next to each item keyed. I responded- can you confirm if these prices are correct? And why is the juice $7 a piece. I informed the the man- I didn't expect to pay above $100 on the items. Next, he looks at the register and says- oh sorry, I keyed in the juice wrong. And I replied based on your website and menu.... No entree was above $13. Instead of the food item name being listed, why does it state 'custom charge' instead. He replies, on our website, those prices are old. We have new prices now. I have to get my father to fix that. I replied, you all need to fix that- that's highly misleading as this is my first time here and I try new food spots based on reviews and pricing and so forth. Next he goes off- he states, "you want or not... I don't need your money... I'm a millionaire in my country... I don't need to take money from you. For me- the next minute was critical. I replied, my friend- let's not talk about money as you don't me and I'm trying to give you some feedback on how to market and retain your customers through professionalism. He was irate/ and I replied, because I want to support African owned businesses, I support, however, be clear, the issue isn't about money, the issue is not taking accountability for your advertising and the principal of having inaccurate advertised pricing speaks to the ethics of the restaurant and also the quality of the food. He calmed down... somewhat and offered me to take 2 extra drinks. I replied, you don't understand business. I paid the bill.... once entering the car- I got gut feeling the food was going to be rubbish read more

Seems like they don't serve a lot BUT oh when you taste their food you'll be pleasantly satisfied.

Love their curry chicken. They are always friendly and welcoming. Also they give good sized portions of food. read more
