Bintü Atelier

“Food made with love and care. I've been wanting to come here for a couple of years. Finally got the chance and it delivered in every best way. You really can't go wrong here with this menu but my suggestion would be to just lean into things that you wouldn't normally have. Like I'm sure the mafé is fantastic but it's not often that I can have egusi with fufu. The juices were also fantastic, as was the service and environment. Next time I'm in Charleston, I hope to visit again.”

“We loved everything about our dining experience ! The people were so nice and the food was amazing. We had a bean appetizer, mafé(?) peanut stew, Thieboudienne-- the national dish of Senegal and some amazing juices. Now we have to go back for the Ghanian dish Egusi!”

“My wife and I rarely have WOW moments when trying food, but this place did just that. I had my head in my hands multiple times throughout the course of dinner just because of the sheer depth of the different flavors. The last time I felt like that was when I first tried Malaysian (Laksa, Beef Rendang) and Thai food. Just please go. Such an underrated cuisine that deserves so much more attention. Definitely go on a Friday or Saturday so you can try the Thieboudieun, which was our favorite out of everything we ordered.”

“Flavor should be the first and last thing you say after dining here. I brought my wife here after we saw this restaurant on Charleston Infatuation. Didn't disappoint is a gross understatement. We tried several dishes and everything is out if this world. Please make a reservation and enjoy some truly remarkable food.”

“Visiting the area and like finding authentic places to explore. Intended to dine-in but it’s a small venue and reservations filled up by 9:00am. However, there is an option for online ordering with options for time slots. Some of the dishes and drinks were already sold out. Ordered Yassa Lamb, it was incredibly good, tender and flavorful. Also got the Mafe Groundnut Beef Stew, in the peanut sauce with spinach. I was expecting chicken because that term was used in the description and the picture resembled it too but the meal was great and the spices she uses takes everything up to another level. Fresh made papaya juice was great. Would’ve love the option to add a desert. Restaurant is in a residential neighborhood that already relies on street parking. I would suggest using Lyft or Uber for drop off since parking can be difficult and may not want to walk from far away. * suggest adding plastic wrap to take out containers to prevent staining from leakage.”
