Bamba Cuisine — Restaurant in Atlanta

Absolutely delicious food!! And it's all so fresh!

Since discovering this restaurant, I have been here at least twice per week.

Grilled lamb chops (Suya): top tier! You get many pieces with a Dijon onion sauce that's so tasty. Tender and really grilled (as in the smoke flavour is there from a real fire grill!)

Grilled chicken (jerk): Amazing! Tender, well seasoned and again with the smoke of the grill all throughout. This too is served with onion sauce and pepper sauce.

Whole Fish: My absolute favorite! It's literally the whole fish flash fried(for crispiness) and then open fire grilled to infused the smoke flavour. Well seasoned and served with the same onion sauce, pepper sauce and also another portion of sauteed onions, bell peppers.

Jollof: hands down, the best Jollof I've had in Atlanta. I can tell they use smoked fish to make this one; the flavour is so rich. They also use cracked rice, which I personally like more than long grain.

Plantain: perfect natural sweetness to balance the savory flavours of the Jollof.

Fattayah(beef patty): addictive! No matter what I order, I always get at least one, lol. These are also made to order. Ground beef and ground lamb seasoned well, wrapped in a flaky pastry and fried til golden. I love this paired with the plantain.

Sorrel: deep red and deeply satisfying! I love hibiscus tea and this one is proper. Nice sweetness, great balance of flavors including a hint of mint(excellent for digestion)

Ginger pineapple juice: my favorite! It's the real deal. If you let it sit too long the ginger and pineapple puree will settle to the bottom (as it should). Just give it a shake and you're ready. I love ginger after a meal because it is also good for digestion.

Dessert: fried dough balls, like puff puff if you're familiar with that. Great way to satisfy your sweet tooth with something chewy and not overly sweet.

The ambiance of the restaurant is warm. Plenty of booths and very comfortable.

The staff are very very nice; always attentive and accommodating and get your order cooked fast and correct. The owner is always around and is very personable. He is an accomplished chef and knows how to run a kitchen efficiently - kudos!

Most people order carryout and plenty of UberEats and DoorDash drivers pick up here. Call ahead if you don't want to wait, but I don't mind cause the wait is never too long even though they cook your food fresh.

If you enjoy West African cuisine, stop by here - you won't be disappointed! The portions are generous and the...

I honestly try to let unnecessary ugliness slide but after I leave a tip for you to just take my order, everything is noted. The lady who took my order had the worst attitude and acted like she didn’t want me to dine in. I ordered a small okra soup and i asked for hot sauce. She gives 1. I went up to get another and she says “we usually only give 1 per customer” I ignored her and proceeded to ask for another because what? It’s one thing to say you charge per sauce . But it’s another when they are in table spoon ramakins to act as if they are off limits. She honestly had an attitude when I asked for the first one. What you usually do and are going to do doesn’t n I e to be mentioned to the customer if it contradicts their request. Your restaurant is empty. And it’s probably because of that attitude. I understand your food is fresh but customer service comes before everything. I would have paid but she didn’t even offer that option. This isn’t the first time she’s been rude to me but it will be the last. Will not be back and it sucks because I love Mr. Muhammad. If you need a day off take it! Litty...

I’ve ordered many times online with Bamba Cuisine and enjoy the food. However, I experienced POOR SERVICE tonight when I had a personal Uber Eats pickup order. The app said my order was ready at 10:21pm. I arrived shortly after to pickup my order. Male Staff seemed disorganized. I waited to be attended to.

Another pickup order came in, the man cut the line to show his confirmation. I told the staff that I had been waiting but they ignored me and immediately handed him his order. When they finally got to me, they seemed confused about my order and spoke Wolof to determine what happened to it (I understand it). I had Chicken Spinach plazas and a spring roll. My order was not ready and I had to wait an additional 15 minutes for them to prepare it. I didn’t get my food until 10:40pm.

This is unacceptable. As a woman among men, I was disregarded as a paying customer. There was a lack of professionalism, orderliness, and consideration that turned me off...
