Everything on the menu—from black-eyed-pea salad to fonio, an ancient grain that Thiam imports from West Africa, to chicken marinated in lime, garlic, and thyme—is designed to pair with everything else. Drinks include ginger juice, bissap (a sweetened mint-hibiscus tea), and bouye, a traditional Senegalese shake made with a fruit called baobab.
