"Baobab Fare is owned and operated by husband-and-wife team Nadia Nijimbere and Hamissi Mamba, who fled Burundi for the United States in 2014. The restaurant serves tasty recipes — including an incredibly flavorful mbuzi (slowed-roasted goat shank with corn salad, plantains, yellow beans, and rice), weekly specials like the ugali (a traditional East African dish made up of a dense corn flour ball, served with savory okra stew) served every Tuesday, and Ji, the eatery’s signature bottled passionfruit juice. In addition, Baobab Fare has also expanded to include a food truck, Waka, and a line of packaged food items available for retail at several local grocers and cafes under the brand Soko, and has ambitions to launch a line of cuisine that can be served in public schools." - Serena Maria Daniels
