Good vibes, nourriture délicieuse & prix plus que raisonnable. J'ai choisi le sandwich au boeuf & on m'a offert une délicieuse limonade hibiscus/menthe les deux étaient 🤯.
L'homme qui m'a servi & gracieusement offert la boisson a été très gentil. Options végétariennes qui ont l'air très bonnes aussi.View more

So good! The owner was so kind & friendly. I love that they have vegan options that are interesting. I had the vegan sandwich which had a bean filling. The drinks are so good too. I just wish they were open for dinner!View more

Wow! La nourriture est toujours super bonne, plusieurs options véganes. Les portions sont généreuses & les prix assez bas. Le pain est fait maison & c'est l'un des meilleurs que j'ai jamais mangé! Il est toujours servi frais & chaud, il est moelleux, mais l'extérieur est un peu croustillant. Le service est très chaleureux. On nous a offert la première fois des glaces au baobab à la fin de notre repas. Une autre fois, je suis arrivée 30 minutes après la fermeture & on m'a vu essayer d'entrer. On est venu m'ouvrir & on m'a préparé le sandwich que je voulais, tout en m'apportant un jus d'hibiscus pour patienter!! Ça parait que les proprios ont à coeur les gens de leur communauté. J'adore cet endroit :)View more

Balbastik - Fresh West African Flavors & Warm Hospitality
I had the pleasure of visiting Balbastik yesterday, & it was a memorable experience from start to finish.
Balbastik is owned by a kind & passionate man from Mauritania, & you can feel the love & care he pours into every detail-his culture & music are truly at the heart of it all. The bread is made fresh in-house, & it makes all the difference-especially in their Spicy Beef Meatball Sandwich, which quickly became my favorite. The meatballs were flavorful & satisfying, with just the right amount of heat. The sauce, made with eggplant, tomatoes, & onions, had a beautiful balance of savory & sweet, thanks to a light drizzle of honey that tied it all together.
To sip alongside everything, I had their housemade juice with orange, mint, hibiscus, & lemon-it tasted like sunshine in a glass. I also couldn't resist trying their homemade baobab popsicle, a refreshing & unique treat, perfect for a hot day. & to finish? A classic mint tea-sweet, aromatic, & the perfect comforting end to the meal.
Beyond the food, the décor is warm & inviting, transporting you straight to Mauritania. Traditional music fills the space, creating a calming atmosphere that makes you want to stay a little longer.
Everything at Balbastik is made with heart, & it shines through in every bite. Whether you're stopping in for a quick meal or settling in for a cozy visit, it's a place that welcomes you with open arms & leaves you feeling nourished in every way.
