   This was our first visit and our dining experience was excellent. Our waitress, Taylor, was wonderful. She was very friendly and extremely helpful. Our food selections were wonderful (Sambusa, Kumuhana, Samaki, and Coco Mango). And our beverage selections (Passion Fruit and Hibiscus Tea) were so refreshing.

   Definitely give this place a try! My mom and I went here before a show at Fisher Theatre and we were so impressed. The food came out quickly, the portions were generous, and the flavors were delicious. I got the nyumbani and my mom got the kuku and both were excellent. It was the perfect location as well. We were able to park in the fisher theater garage and walk from there. We would love to go back if we’re ever in the area again!

   This was my second time at Baobob Fare and I love this place. It’s incredibly popular, as it should be, so reservations are a good idea on the weekend. The food is incredible and the overall atmosphere is beautiful. My only complaint is that the tables are really packed together. This happens at many restaurants, but because the location is relatively small, it feels like those waiting for tables are sort of hovering over you while you eat if you’re near the door. Otherwise, it’s a wonderful dining experience. This plays is packed for good reason✨

   First time here and really enjoyed our meal. The spiced coffee was wonderful and we really enjoyed the braised beef dish. Will definitely return and would recommend to friends.

    Excellent food in a warm atmosphere. Recently added pop to the menu but need to include a diet option. That said, I’d highly recommend the African spiced tea.
