Help us make it rightIn the Senegalese culture, Teranga means "hospitality": the love and art to welcome, entertain and feed guests. It is a marriage of African (especially Senegalese) and French cuisine. Most of the dishes are borrowed from the Senegalese culture to reflect the owner's roots. However, Teranga aims to represent as many African countries as possible. Dishes from Cote d'Ivoire, Mali, the Gambia,...
Teranga is Bostonac2s first Senegalese restaurant, located in the historic South End neighborhood at the intersection of Mass. Ave and Washington Street. We are honored to be located in the South End with its profusion of world-class, renowned restaurants and chefs. Teranga literally means hospitality in Wolof, a Senegalese language. In Senegal, hospitality is more than an art and culture;...
In Boston’s South End is cozy Senegalese restaurant Teranga. Start with nems, the Vietnamese-inspired spring rolls, and accara, fried balls of seasoned black-eyed pea batter. The “salade ordinaire” is a blend of mixed greens, potatoes, beets and boiled eggs in a coconut-lime dressing. We also recommend Senegal’s national dish, thiebou djeun, flaky white fish slow-cooked with herbs and root...
The unusual food and beverages, reasonable prices, elegant dining room, and friendly service make Teranga ("hospitality" in the Wolof language) one of the best deals in Boston. Chef-owner Marie-Claude Mendy's Senegalese cuisine, with its French and Vietnamese influences, is a marvel. Start with croquettes de poisson (fish cakes) or fataya (spiced-fish turnovers) rather than nems (spring rolls),...
South End Senegalese restaurant Teranga may have glints of familiarity in its bright Afro pop and jazz and the Vietnamese spring roll-esque nems, a ubiquitous Senegalese snack. But to the...
SUPER SLOW SERVICEï¼ÂWe waited 50mints for our appetizer to come out. And we are still waiting for our entry as I type, after 70 mins since we place our orders. One warm recommendation: at least...
The people are warm, the food is wholesome and fresh and delicious. I ordered the vegetarian couscous entree - hearty with just the right amount of heat for the American palette. The waitstaff...
VERY slow service. The couple next to us waited for an hour before walking away because when their food finally came out, it was cold. At this point, I have been waiting for my food for almost...
Found this restaurant by accident, what a nice surprise. Senegal decor makes you feel you are in another world. The restaurant was very quiet the night we visited, one other table occupied. The food was very tasty & well presented, my one complain was the plates were cold. The waiter was very friendly and returned several times to make sure...
When I was there, they had only one other table with 2 people to serve. Still, service was not too attentive and was very slow. The two waitresses pushed hard to order their appetizers which I declined to do. I had the national dish: white fish with thick and tiny thin bones - not my thing. I did like the...

"Teranga" means hospitality.
While the small beer and wine list has some intriguing choices--South African Tukulu Estate pinotage, Haitian Prestige lager--the freshly made non-alcoholic juices are gorgeous: including a spicy ginger, cherry-like hibiscus-based bissap and creamy bouye flavored with baobab fruit.
Owner Marie-Claude Mendy gets many of Teranga's spices from her mother, who is a chef in Senegal.
