Our Story

From Berlin to The Gambia in a bite!

Bantabaa is the Mandinka word for “meeting place”.
Starting back in 2015 as an integration project for West African refugees, Bantabaa Community worked as a meeting point between Berlin and Gambia. As a result, some of the participants had the opportunity to run their own Gambian restaurant and continue to provide a culinary and cultural meeting point for Berliners, Gambians and everyone else.

The Gambia is known as the Smiling Coast of Africa because of its location on the West coast that makes it look like a smile. At Bantabaa Food Dealer we live up to that name and always greet you with a smile and a home-cooked meal from one of our traditional Gambian recipes.
