Bissap Baobap remains the one restaurant, when amongst a group of friends deciding what to do for dinner, whose suggestion is never vetoed — it has something for everyone.

Bissap Baobab is fairly inexpensive, with appetizers ranging from $4 to $9, main dishes ranging from $8 to $12, and desserts in the $5 range.

Given the history of Bissap Baobab’s creation, it’s no accident that there’s a very clear sense of hominess at both of Senghor’s restaurants (Senghor still owns his first place, now called Little Baobab, on 19th St., but he gave culinary control to friends from the West Indies who turned it into a Creole restaurant).
Bissap Baobab may be the only restaurant in the city whose happy hour special — a large dish brimming with meat and rice intended to be shared by four or more people for only $4 a person — was created to make people think communally.
