Tucked away amidst the swaying palms and coconut trees of Bijilo Beach, The House of RAAA is the new hotspot for both locals and tourists. Formerly known as Dolphin’s Bar, this rejuvenated beach bar and restaurant officially opened its doors on the 28th of August, 2024, inviting guests to experience a unique blend of African culture, delectable cuisine, and the soothing ambience of the Atlantic coastline. With its strategic location, The House of RAAA is a fresh breeze in the heart of Bijilo, offering an authentic taste of Africa with a twist of modern flair.

The structure of The House of RAAA is simple and adorned with beautiful African art patterns that are a celebration of African heritage. These bold designs hold a deep connection to ancestral roots and cultural identity, turning the bar into a living canvas that honours the continent's rich history and vibrant traditions.

The rear of the beach bar is a visual feast, painted in bold hues of red, green, and black, serving as a backdrop for murals of famous African activists and popular YouTube personalities. This artistic homage adds a layer of cultural significance to the experience.

The House of RAAA operates 24 hours a day, making it a perfect stop whether you're an early riser seeking a morning coffee or a night owl looking for a late-night bite. The kitchen is open from 8 am to 11 pm, offering a menu that is a delightful fusion of local and international flavours. Guests can savour traditional Gambian dishes like domoda, yassa, and benachin, or opt for international favourites such as salads, soups, steaks, burgers, and shawarmas. Complement your meal with a wide selection of cold and hot beverages, and perhaps a liqueur to wind down the evening. And, of course, no meal is complete without a delectable dessert!

Sunday evenings at The House of RAAA are particularly special, as the air fills with the rhythmic beats of Ndaga Drums from 6 pm to 9 pm. This lively entertainment is the perfect accompaniment to a meal or a relaxing moment on one of the sunbeds available for rent. While waiting for your food, take a stroll along the beach, or simply unwind in one of the hammocks, letting the cool sea breeze wash over you.

For those seeking a true African experience, The House of RAAA is a great spot. Whether you're there for the food, the art, or the atmosphere, this beach bar and restaurant offers a slice of Africa’s soul on the serene shores of Bijilo Beach.

Looking for a place to relax by the Atlantic Ocean? Try the House of RAAA!
