Teranga - San Francisc

Best avocado toast in the city, topped with pomegranate seeds and other deliciousness. Be warned it's potentially addictive!

Stopped in for lunch and had the black bean soup with chicken. Really tasty, especially if you like things a little spicy.

Delicious spicy vegan stew with rice.If you’re not into cilantro be careful, it’s in the

A latecomer to the Vacant to Vibrant pop-up series. I walked by several times hoping they 'd open and finally they did! It was definitely worth the wait since Senegalese food is very unique in the FiDi (and even San Francisco) and it 's delicious!Pizza Pulaar: A really unique pizza and much heartier than typical flat breads. The nice butternut squash paste made it hearty and flavorful. The generous amount of cheese was crucial to be pizza-like. And all the wonderful spices gave it so much personality. Plus the fresh pomegranate seeds were a great seasonal touch. High recommend!Senegalese Street Style Spaghetti Sandwich: It was like they took a basic Italian spaghetti and meat sauce then added a bunch of yummy African spices. Definitely a nice zing. A tad carby, but so good! Though I must say there were some skeptical reactions when I posted pics on social media. My recommendation is just try it yourself!Chicken Drumsticks Teranga: While the other dishes are tasty, they seem a bit sparse on protein. So adding these to your order is a nice way to upgrade your meal. It would just be a regular old baked drumstick, except for the delish sauce! It 's got a nice tang and tons of spices. They should seriously sell bottles of that stuff to upgrade your chicken at home.Mango Kalamata Olive Salad: Kinda tastes like a regular salad, that happens to have fresh mangos in it. Lots of healthy veggies, but the least flavorful of the items I tried.Maafe Bowl: It wasn 't the maafe I was expecting, but it was the maafe I needed. I thought it would have a stronger peanut taste, kinda like satay. Turned out to be packed with tons of flavors and just a little peanut undertones. It was hearty, thick and spicy. Pretty filling for vegetarian, with lots of nice chunks of root veggies and squash. I made sure to get every bit of that delicious sauce with the stray bits of rice left over.Love Potion: Lots of flavor in this little bottle. A little thick, so I added some sparkling mineral water in a glass with this and turned it into a refreshing spritzer. Though it 's also enjoyable as a thicker drink by itself; flavor is not overwhelming just a bit of viscous texture.

Was in SF today and happened upon this place while wandering through the Embarcadero Center on my lunch break. Glad I found it. I tried the Spaghetti Sandwich and it was so delicious! A wonderful and distinctive palette of flavors. Spicy enough but not overly so for those sensitive taste buds. I plan to go back and try the drumsticks next time I am in the city. The people there are super friendly. Great find!
