Kabba’s Kitchen — Restaurant in Portland

Today was my first visit to the Kabba's Kitchen food cart on North Albina Street. I ordered the Thié Bou Yapp (pictured), which is Senegalese lamb and rice.

Everything was fantastic! The lamb was tender and flavorful, mildly spicy, the rice was pleasantly seasoned and wasn't too heavy, and the vegetables were sweet and also mildly spicy.

Service was friendly and relatively quick, and there were a few tables for outdoor seating. I will definitely be back to try other menu items!

My husband is Senegalese and wanted to try the new Portland cart on our way home to Seattle. This cart is made by and is Senegalese approved as tasting authentic, which matters more than my opinion.

We tried a lot on the menu: nems, thiebu yapp, fataya, ginger juice and bissap. All very good and very authentic! The dipping sauces were very flavorful as well.

Recommend for first timers to Senegalese food is anything with rice. Jollof is served on weekends and is a staple Senegalese dish (Senegal creates the dish, but arguing over who makes it best is fighting words). The juices are great and not over sugared as well.

My only request would be for the business to use paper to go containers instead of styrofoam for environmental...

I literally just finished eating as I'm writing this. So full! 😆

Called in my order; food ready in 10 minutes I was told, which is awesome cause I had to rush home. Friendly folks, easy curbside pickup (there's a small lot shared by two other food trucks). 👍🏼

I ordered the mafe yapp and fataya, based on other folks' reviews. Damn, so much flavor, and really sizeable portions. The chutney/dipping sauce with the fataya 🤌🏼🧨 - so good!

Really excited to try other dishes next time, and now I know the fataya is a nice size snack (3 huge patties!) whenever I need one. Thank you, I needed this warm...
