The Gambia’s food scene is growing, changing, and becoming more diverse than many visitors expect. While the country is well known for traditional Gambian dishes such as domoda, yassa, benachin and fresh seafood, there is also a wide variety of international cuisine available across the country.

To highlight this diversity, we launched a brand-new food series exploring cuisines from around the world, all without leaving The Gambia.

Episode 1 takes us to Mani Sushi, where we explore Japanese cuisine right here on the Smiling Coast of Africa. From freshly prepared sushi to Asian-inspired flavours and a relaxed dining atmosphere, Mani Sushi offers an experience that many travellers may not expect to find in The Gambia.

This first episode is not only about food. It is about showing how much The Gambia has to offer when it comes to restaurants, dining experiences, and hidden gems. Whether you are a resident, visitor, expat or food lover, this series are designed to help you discover new places and understand the variety available in the country.

Through this food journey, we will continue exploring restaurants featured in the My Gambia Directory, from African classics to Asian, European, Middle Eastern, and many other flavours.
