Seafood to Try

Attieke

Fermented cassava with onion, bell pepper, and a choice of tilapia.

“Hands down top ten best food spots in Chicago. They moved into a larger spot and it's beautiful -- the hospitality is unmatched every time and we love that Badou himself suggests menu items to try. The attieke and Mbhoroke have quickly made their way into our date night rotation, go-to comfort food rotation, literally any excuse to go here we take because it's THAT good. Much love to Badou + staff for being 10/10 every single time.”

“Absolute heart food that can make you weep. Try the atieke - crispy whole tilapia or snapper on a bed of zingy veggies and fermented cassava that is sorta like couscous, except it absorbs all the lovely juices without falling apart. Jerk chicken and jollof rice is a classic too”

Jollof Rice

Jasmine rice with carrots and cabbage, plus your choice of protein.

“Delicious jolof rice! Best in Chicago”

“Badou's is one of a kind! The food was so amazing and the ambience was very welcoming and cozy. My group and I ordered a whole bunch of different dishes (Jollof rice, Jerk chicken, Yassa fish) and even ordered extra to-go (the pastel).The owner himself, Badou, sat with us and explained the history and cooking process of each dish. Him and his staff were beyond sweet and such lovely, warm people. I really could not recommend this place anymore!”
