Yabou started with one charcoal grill and a folding table outside her compound. Word travelled the way good food does — by full mouths. Fifteen years on, we're still cooking the same recipes, just with more chairs.
We buy fish off the boats at Tanji each morning and grind our own spices. Nothing waits in a freezer for you.
Real Gambian food, cooked with patience, priced for everyone.
We buy at Tanji landing each morning. If it didn't swim today, it's not on the plate.
Our spice blends are pounded in-house, every day. No shortcuts in a jar.
Everything that should be grilled is grilled over fire, not gas.
Open-air dining in a walled garden, cool breeze, no traffic noise.
“The benachin tastes like my mother's. I drive from Banjul just for it. That says everything.”
“We booked for eight on WhatsApp, table was ready under the tree. Fish was unreal. We'll be back weekly.”
Weekends, yes — message us on WhatsApp and we'll hold a table. Weekdays you can usually just walk in, but the grilled fish does sell out.
We cater naming ceremonies, weddings and office lunches from 20 to 300 plates. WhatsApp us your date and headcount for a quote.
Yes — superkanja can be made without fish, and we do a vegetable domoda and plenty of sides. Just let us know.
