Oulay Ceesay Fisher’s cooking at Calabash African Kitchen draws from her Gambian upbringing and the food traditions shared across Senegal and The Gambia. The restaurant on South Rainbow Boulevard introduces those flavors through rice dishes, stews, grilled meats and seafood.

## Reading the menu

Jollof rice appears with the regional names cheb and benechin. Peanut stew, listed as mafe or domoda, offers another entry point into the kitchen’s Senegambian foundation. The menu also includes oxtail stew, red snapper, fataya and egusi served with fufu.

Wood grilling is part of Calabash’s approach, alongside dishes built around sauces and slow cooking. The selection gives diners several ways to explore the menu: a rice-centered plate, a stew with an accompaniment, or a grilled main. The restaurant identifies vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free choices on its site; customers with specific dietary requirements should discuss the actual dish with the kitchen.

### A dining room and a catering kitchen

Calabash’s published event information describes a main room with capacity for about eighty guests and a full bar. Its catering service can cover pickup, delivery and setup, including warming trays when arranged. That extends the kitchen’s work from individual restaurant meals to food for a group.

Fisher is the owner behind the restaurant, and her family’s cooking traditions remain the reference point for its identity. Local dining coverage has highlighted Calabash as a place to encounter West African cooking in the Las Vegas Valley, while the restaurant’s own pages explain the names and origins of several dishes.

The restaurant provides separate ways to handle different requests: phone contact for orders and time-sensitive questions, and email for catering inquiries or feedback. Checking the current menu before ordering is useful, particularly when planning a larger meal or looking for a specific regional dish.
