A taste of
teranga.

Thiéboudienne, yassa poulet, mafé and flame-grilled dibi — real Senegalese and West African cooking in Boston. Served with teranga, the Senegalese spirit of hospitality.

The national dish

Thiéboudienne — ceebu jën.

Herb-stuffed fish simmered with rice in a rich tomato sauce, with root vegetables. It’s the national dish of Senegal — inscribed on UNESCO’s list of Intangible Cultural Heritage. Our signature plate.
