Bantabaa Food Dealer in Berlin

¡Sin palabras, comida perfecta! Acogedor restaurante y servicio al cliente súper amable. Volveré de nuevo cuando la próxima vez en Berlín! ❤️

Ganz tolle Küche mit interessantem Geschmack. Super toll, wir kommen wieder! Wir hatten den Baobab-Saft und die Sengambische Tour als Paar.

No teníamos una reserva, pero nos apretaron en una pequeña mesa cerca de la cocina. ¡El lugar estaba lleno! ¡Y por una buena razón! La comida era absolutamente excelente! Nunca antes habíamos comido comida de África Occidental, pero compartimos el plato mixto con los peces y comimos cada bocado. Y probé una bebida con jugo de baobab, ¡otra primera vez!

Una cucina da incubo molto sporca chi vede la cucina non mangia piu piatti non parliamo verdure non lavate il servizio pessimo e maleducati

food was amazing! came at around 6pm on a saturday, without booking we still got a table. we got the mix of dishes with the fish added and it was incredible. nice flavor and lots of food. my favorite was the peanut sauce. definitely recommend the sharing plate so you can try a lot of things!

Super nice service and incredibly tasty, spicy food! Proof that it's worth trying new things/food! Reservations are urgently required on weekends! We'll be back!

Yemekler çok güzeldi. İlk defa Afrika mutfağı denedik ama buna rağmen hiç yabancılık hissetmedik. Personel çok güler yüzlü idi. Yemek olarak Senegal Tour söyledik, ana yemeklerin hepsinin küçük porsiyonlar halinde iki kişilik olarak hazırlanmış haliydi. Fiyatlar ise genel olarak uygun. Restorantın atmosferi de çok huzurluydu,ayrıca tuvalet de dahil olmak üzere her yer çok temizdi. Berlin e tekrar gelirsem mutlaka uğramak isteyeceğim.

Amazing! Best service very good Food and soft music. Must visit again!

Very tasty national dish Domoda with peanut sauce! We shared the banana bread for dessert and thought it was great too. Very friendly service! Cozy atmosphere. Would go again.

Delicious food, many vegan options! Very nice service and a cute place to sit and enjoy a wonderful meal and drinks.

Selected, absolutely special recipes from West Africa. Nice, humble shop with good people, really recommended.

A rare treasure in Berlin's culinary landscape. Fantastic restaurant serving food from Gambia (West Africa) with great vegan selection! Super lovely staff, food came quickly and a great atmosphere in the restaurant. Definitely come by for a great taste experience!

Very tasty food! We took the platter for 2 and everything was delicious! Highly recommended!

Everything was great! The restaurant is cozy, serves really good West African food, and the team was super friendly. Gladly again at any time!

Great value for money, very nice service. Food very good with large portions

Great little African restaurant! The dishes are copious and delicious, a real taste journey. Thank you for this meal and this discovery!

Very delicious food, friendly staff, authentic interior. Definitely worth to visit.

Super recommend it! The food was absurdly delicious and the drinks were really unique. We had the Platter for 2 people and the amount of food was right on point too!

Best African restaurant in town, not only with incredible taste, but with an open heart and super friendly stuff! I loved the Vegan plate

Honestly I don’t know anything about westafrican cuisine, so I can’t judge the authenticity, but in my humble opinion this places food tastes amazing. I went for vegan options and was blown away way. So so good. I got food from there many times since then. Big recommendation. <3

El personal es muy amable. Estábamos muy contentos de venir y disfrutamos mucho de nuestro tiempo. Definitivamente volveremos de nuevo

very good food. Best choice is fish with rice, fried plantains. , vegetables

One of my favorite restaurants, everything is just top! Delicious food, amazing atmosphere

bantabaa ist ein großartiger ort für fans der afrikanischen küche die gerichte sind sehr lecker die gewürze sind gut abgestimmt und frisch das fleisch ist hervorragend die umgebung ist gemütlich und entspannt die preise sind fair

The vegan options are not worth it. The peanut dish comes with three lonely slices of sweet potatoes and the spinach rice with four tiny pieces of plantain… we were left hungry. For 10€ a take out dish we felt it was not enough quality nor quantity.

Fantastic food, lots of vegan options. The food supports the club. Recommended!

Das Essen war sehr lecker! Habe sowas noch nie gegessen. Absolut empfehlenswert! Super authentisch und außergewöhnlich.

A must for us when we are in Berlin. It just tastes great!!!

Quando viaggio in città estere cerco sempre di ritagliarmi il tempo di almeno un pranzo o una cena in un ristorante africano: la gastronomia del continente nero ha sempre qualcosa di interessante da offrirmi, anche se - come è inevitabile - la riuscita dei piatti varia da caso a caso. Non essendomi mai cimentato in questo genere a Berlino, eccezion fatta per una cena etiope, sono andato a caso, consultando vari siti, nella scelta. E la sorte ha voluto che la mia compagna ed io capitassimo, questa sera, in un locale eccellente, che ci ha consentito anche di fare nuove scoperte. Il piccolo Bantabaa propone infatti cucina del Gambia, paese della costa occidentale di cui non è frequente neppure conoscere l'esistenza, e avventurarsi nel suo menù ha significato godere di appetitose novità. Conoscendo, delle varie salse citate nella carta, soltanto lo Yassa, abbiamo puntato sul "Viaggio gastronomico nel Gambia", che per meno di 17 euro consente a due commensali di sperimentare tutte e quattro le opzioni disponibili, con pollo speziato arrostito (ottimo) o pesce. Come siamo riusciti a finire il mega-piatto è difficile dire, tanto più che lo avevamo fatto precedere da un sostanzioso antipasto di puff-puff (praticamente le nostre zeppole, ma in versione salata e con accompagnamento di una squisita salsa di cipolle e spezie). L'unica risposta alla domanda è: era tutto troppo buono per lasciarlo nel piatto. E non è finita qui, perché io, preso dall'entusiasmo, ho voluto concludere con un dessert altrettanto gradevole, a base di frutto del baobab semiliquido con fette di mele e banane e... cuscus! Questo graditissimo viaggio è costato, con birra analcolica (non servono alcoolici, per motivi religiosi) e lassi di mango e cocco, solo 54 euro, mancia esclusa (qui la carta di credito è accettata). Che magnifica esperienza!

We were completely thrilled with the food. We tried all the dishes with the mixed platter and ALL of them were actually really tasty! However, you should actually put on an extra sweater because the heating probably didn't work properly.

The best African restaurant in Berlin

Super leuk tentje en heerlijk gegeten en vriendelijk personeel. Wij hadden een menu waar we van alles wat konden proeven, echt een aanrader als je niet zo bekend met met de keuken.

Recommended, very tasty, great atmosphere and friendly, perfect 👌🏽

I love this place!! I had one of the best jollofs ever!! Also, they have such a nice & beautiful staff ❤️ will keep coming

absolutely delicious cuisine!!!

We were totally thrilled! The food was so delicious. The service was also very friendly. The restaurant was busy in the evening. We would love to come back!

The restaurant is a bit hidden, but it's worth the journey...the service is great, people are very attentive...the food is absolutely delicious, well seasoned, it's very cozy and a warm atmosphere thanks to dark wood and colors... .. if you're staying for a long time, take one of the great cushions under your bottom, because there is simple wooden furniture, which of course fits great, but doesn't flatter the bottom, but that's the only thing that could perhaps be improved by the owner: soft seat cushions with African Pattern.. Otherwise everything was really great...we'll be back, that's for sure...⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Delusione assoluta! Abbiamo scelto questo ristorante fidandoci delle recensioni lette e ci siamo sbagliati. Volevamo assaggiare qualche piatto originale ...detto fatto! Scegliamo due antipasti , un puff- puff e un platano fritto, buoni ( attenti a chi non piace la cipolla). Dopo abbiamo ordinato la Domada e la Plasos con la CARNE ( con la carne) ma sono arrivati tutti e due senza carne! Pazienza ci siamo detti, non è il caso di mandare i piatti indietro! La parte brutta è che ci hanno fatto pagare come se il piatto fosse con la carne . Senza parole!Mai più in questo locale

Ich bin immer wieder gerne hier. Diesmal hatte ich das Benachin mit dem würzig gebratenen Reis. Dazu gibt's Gemüse (u.a. sehr leckeren Senfkohl) und wahlweise Fleisch oder in der veganen Variante Kochbananen dazu. Ich hatte Letzteres, gute Wahl. Als Getränk hatte ich eine Tamarinden-Limo, spritzig-lecker, nicht zu süß und was Besonderes. Der Service war wie immer toll. Bis zum nächsten Mal.

Great spot for a casual night with friends, or date spot. Some of the best food I’ve had in berlin - very hearty and warming. Also lovely owner :)

Please, if you read this you must eat here!

Incredibly delicious food at an unbeatable price! With amazing peanut sauce, perfect plantains and so on… thank you!

Locale piccolo e molto accogliente. Cucina ottima e di qualità . La cameriera molto cordiale. Lo consiglio assolutamente,

A small and cozy place, intimate I would say, very welcoming indeed. Excellent food that left us very satisfied! The staff is very kind and nice. Truly a great experience that we hope to repeat!

Great experience! The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. If you’re looking for an authentic Gambian dining experience, I highly recommend this place!

There’s a reason this restaurant is rated Not the first time here and definetly not the last. I came here last year while visiting Berlin and I knew I had to come back here if I was in town againI had mackrell with a peanut sauce and rice with stunning hot chilli sauce in a side dish. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Would return and consume

Ich hatte die Plassas mit Kochbanane und es war super lecker! Auch der Service war sehr freundlich. Große Empfehlung!!

super freundliche bedienung, günstig und große portionen. alles ist als vegane option verfügbar und die hausgemachten getränke sind ebenfalls sehr lecker.

really tasty and nice atmosphere :)

Super delicious food, lots of vegan options and authentic ambience. Any time;)

Unfassbar leckeres Essen! Sehr nettes Personal und authentisches Ambiente. Das Essen war sehr schnell da (und die Portionen sind riesig ☺️)

A cozy, authentic African restaurant.

Wir als alte Africa Fans wollten die Nr. 1 von über 9000 Berliner Restaurants schon ausprobieren. Es liegt nicht gerade in einer Luxusgegend von Berlin und es ist sehr einfach aber mit Charme eingerichtet. Der Empfang von Ruby, der Kellnerin war sehr herzlich und sie hat uns gut beraten und bedient. Das Essen war hervorragend. Wir hatten 2 Vorspeisen, Manjuk Pommes und Puff Puff Bällchen, beides mit einer sehr schmackhaften Zwiebelsauce. Die Hauptspeise war eine Platte für 2 Personen mit weißem und dunklen Gewürzreis, Kochbananen uvm. Dazu noch 4 verschiedene Saucen. Alles ein Gedicht. Wir freuen uns schon auf die nächste Berlinreise mit einem Besuch in diesem Lokal.

It's a super cute restaurant with very nice employees. Small, familiar and really tasty. A clear recommendation 👍🏼

Everything is amazing- the homemade drinks (especially the tamarind one) are so refreshing, the starters are great and the main plates are incredibly flavourful. I can’t recommend Bantabaa enough!

The food was good, but I was missing a more intense taste. However, the service was top and put you in a good mood. Sweet shop, come again.

Highly recommended. Delicious food and drink, fast service, small but nice atmosphere. Prices were reasonable.

This is really awesome! Everything happens very quickly. We ate on the street in front of the restaurant, which is very interesting. Just come here and enjoy.

Really good food. Very delicious.

First time eating African food. It was a great experience. The fried fish is very fragrant. And the drinks recommended to us were also delicious. It's a bit like sour plum soup, sweet and sour.

Amazing food and great service!

I ordered Jollof Rice, it was super delicious! I'll be back!

Excellent food. Not spicy fortunately. The premises don't look like much. But it's worth it. Good variety of options also.

Very good food! Staff is very friendly. Highly recommend

Good African restaurant that I can recommend. However, I can't tell whether it's original African cuisine

Very welcoming and friendly staff. You get a good amount of food for how much you pay, we could even bring something home :) Definitly recommend the cassava fries 🙌🏼

Food really extremely tasty. Price-performance ratio but rather suboptimal. Quite a high price for a relatively small quantity.

Leckeres Essen in großen Portionen. Mal was komplett neues. Hatten die Platte für 2 und man konnte alles mal probieren. Kann ich nur weiterempfehlen.

Best restaurant in Berlin. The food is from another planet, always excellent and prepared with great attention to detail. The restaurant has 6 main courses, all of which taste wonderful. The Benachin with Beef (Jollof Rice) is particularly exciting and can actually feed two people as a main course. This dish is simply a taste explosion. The dish Yassa, a mustard sauce with peppers and cabbage, is simply incredibly tasty and totally unique. Bantabaa is the only restaurant where I go several times a month. I could write a novel. In addition, the Baobab, Wonjo and Tamarind lemonades are simply incomparable! A taste experience without comparison. Since this restaurant was born from a project by people with refugee backgrounds, it is even nicer to come here because you are supporting an incomparable project.

Food was amazing! 😻 very reasonable prices and friendly staff, would come back a 1000 times

Have lived in the neighborhood for several years and finally tried this restaurant - now we're wondering why we didn't go there sooner! We had the Yassa and the Superkanja, both with incredibly delicious plantains, plus the refreshing, not too sweet hibiscus iced tea. The service is really nice and the music is super relaxing. Go for it!

Very heartwarming friendly place with delicious foods and self made lemonades. Suitable for vegans. Can't wait to visit again and try more from their menu!

Locale molto carino situato in zona East Side Gallery. Cucina tipica africana con dei bei accostamenti tra verdure, riso e carne, con aggiunta di spezie che rendono i piatti molto molto interessanti. Menzione anche per il servizio, la cameriera è stata veramente gentile e alla mano, abbiamo apprezzato moltissimo. Locale veramente consigliato, eccellente!

Abbiamo provato questo ristorante è ne siamo rimasti molto soddisfatti, personale gentile, buono e assolutamente particolare, come doveva essere il cibo Location caratteristica Da consigliare assolutamente

It was my second time there and I was absolutely satisfied with the taste. The last time I ordered something to take away worth over €58, it included 3 of these dumplings. Unfortunately, when I got home I discovered that instead of 3, only 1 had been packed. even though the chef on site assured me that the order was complete. Given these prices, it was very annoying and annoying. That was at least €6, which I ended up paying too much PLUS a tip. Since there wasn't much going on, I understand it even less.

Angelockt von der guten Bewertung kehrten wir heute hier ein und wurden nicht enttäuscht. Optisch ist der Laden keine Perle, aber der Service war sehr nett und das Essen verdammt gut. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Great food! Great service, friendly, professional and super nice!

Delicious. Especially the plantains and the sauces. Chicken was really tasty too. Good price-performance ratio.

great spot! beware of the spicy sauce, it is very spicy. I for sure would recommend the peanut cream with the plantains.!

Baobab drink was delicious. Favorites among the dishes were the ones with mustard sauce and the peanut stew. Nice vibey music.

This restaurant is a bit hidden, I finally went there and the food is really 10/10. There is a small deduction in service because we were not asked if we would like something to drink, we had to explicitly ask. I found that very unusual. I also really liked the atmosphere. I would definitely come again.

Great great food and prices, unfortunately the service is very slow. Plus the zone is not good, if you finish eating too late, coming back to the car you will encounter many junkies/zombies and drug dealers...

Good mood, delicious food and satisfied guests at our table. We felt very comfortable here in the afterwork group, thank you. We will be back!

Incredibly delicious!! Fresh, super flavorful, great drinks and unbeatable prices... I'm looking forward to the next time!!

Underground service. We had waited over 90 minutes for our food and then received rice with three pieces of plantain and undefined sauce. My wife ordered okra and received spinach. I had ordered the whole fish and after about 45 minutes of asking if we had been forgotten, I was told that the whole fish was out. In the meantime, at least one table that ordered after us received the fish portion. We had to ask three times where the food was and were always put off. But no apology whatsoever. I have no problem waiting longer, even over an hour, for my food. But the food was just bad. And the employees made no attempt to defuse the situation. A pity.

An African restaurant that feels authentic and also has vegan options - I LOVE it! Unfortunately I'm not from Berlin otherwise I would definitely be here more often. The waiting time was a little longer but the food was totally worth it and I would come back at any time. I would particularly recommend the baobab lemonade - I could bathe in it and would love to have the recipe 🙈.

Delicious and authentic. A must!

Will comeback for sure, great food.

I was excited! The menu is varied and the dishes are well explained. Almost every main course is also available as a vegan version, and there are also enough vegetarian and vegan versions of the starters and desserts. The portions are nice and big and fill you up. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity to get to know Gambia's cuisine. I will gladly come again.

Wir waren gespannt, was uns erwartet, da wir noch nie Afrikanisch gegessen haben. Haben uns für die Senegambia Tour entschieden. 2 Reissorten, Gekochte Banane, Hühnerschenkel, Kohl und 3 verschiedene Sorten. Das Essen war sehr gut, der Service etwas langsamet

This is a restaurant I found by chance while walking. At first, I had no background knowledge about the menu, so I ordered a comprehensive plate for two people. I think this was the right choice. In fact, you can't tell just by reading the text, and even if there are pictures (there are no pictures on the menu), it is very difficult to guess the taste. To put it simply, it’s very delicious!! Aside from the sauce containing okra, the texture was a bit strange, and the remaining three sauces were all so delicious that I had a hard time deciding what to order the next time I came back. In addition, the chicken legs were crispy on the outside and very moist on the inside, so they were cooked very deliciously. The mackerel was delicious, but I definitely want to try other fish next time. There were still more things I wanted to try. There were a lot of unfamiliar but delicious-looking things in Vorspeise. This restaurant is such a pleasure to us.

Perfect meal and very good service. New tastes and nice atmosphere and vibe. The meal was full with flavors. Very recommended.

Maybe the best meal I’ve ever had in Berlin! Every dish has a vegan option too. No alcohol is available but maybe check if they mind you bringing a beer with you. The guys there were super nice, food was delicious and incredibly well priced for kreuzberg, really relaxed place

Realy good!!! The owner is very friendly! I will come back the next Time i Come to Berlin. Thanks you very much the bantabaa

Excellent food and service ((((((((((((((((((((((((: I got the benachin rice with mackerel and seating outside is nice

Well, I have to honestly say that was a complete disaster. I wouldn't even give my dog ​​something like that to eat Just disgusting

I visited Bantabaa for the first time nearly a year ago. I remember loving the fresh taste of the food and the originality behind it. Back then, nothing was really set up inside as they were just starting. Now the atmosphere and decorations inside are lovely. They did a great job, and the food still tastes just as great. As the food is freshly prepared, I would advice to take some waiting time into consideration . Other tahn that the service is really friendly and welcoming.

Delicious. Well seasoned, absolutely great

Small and welcoming place, good and very unique food.

How is it possible I’m finding this little gem only now! I loved everything from the friendliness when I booked through email, the cosy and warm environment, professional and kind staff, not to talk about the food of course. Small menu, but all is good. I had the mackerel benachin (excellent, it reminded me of Senegalese Thieboudienne) and plantains with onion sauce. My mum would have also loved to have benachin but only one portion was left. She ended up ordering the domoda with beef (basically Senegalese mafè), which was also delectable. Portions are okay, though I would have eaten a little bit more rice. Bissap as a drink was fantastic! 🌺 ✨ no alcohol served but you can BYOB and payment with card accepted. It was sooooo good and also very good value for money. Can’t wait to go back! Keep on the excellent work guys! One of my new favourites in Berlin hands down. ✌🏼
