New African In Austin: Cazamance Brings Senegalese Food to Town

[scrumptiouschef]

Any pregnant ladies on the board?

Here's a quote from the owner of Cazamance:

We always like to include a dish that's especially good for expecting mamas!

I ran into a friend of mine downtown last night and he had just eaten at Cazamance. He was excited about their food which is unusual for him outside of NOLA related food talk.

Looks like they're serving plenty lamb which is always a magnet for me.

Plus young coconuts the juice of which is one of the only things that allows me to survive Austin summers.

Who's been to Cazamance?

Last weekend I ate some pig butt. That's what it was called on the menu. It was fantastic. Would've tried some other dishes but the thunderstorm blew in.

It's right next to G'Raj Majhal if you know where that is off of Rainey St.

All I have to say is Wow! I was in Austin on Monday (I'm from Houston) and went to Cazamance for dinner. Amazing food, Amazing decor, and Amazing service!!! The owner Iba is a delight:)

Amazing decor? Isn't it a food trailer?

[dinaofdoom]

yeah i was just about to ask...

[selfinspire]

Yes it's a food trailer but they have this amazing outdoor seating area set up infront of it with picnic style tables and lights hanging above. It's the fanciest trailer I've ever seen!

Haven't heard anyting about it. Can you help me place where this is? Don't recognize those streets. Do they have a website?
