Bantaba African Restaurant, 19417 36th Ave. W., Lynnwood, specializes in West African cuisine. Popular dishes include afra chicken, goat curry, yassa chicken, jerk chicken, and lamb, beef or chicken skewers. Owner Abdoulie Lowe, who is from Gambia, established the restaurant in 2012. Bantaba translates to “the meeting tree” — named for African villagers who like to gather in the shade of an expansive tree to pass the time. Call 425-678-0202 or find Bantaba African Restaurant on Facebook.

Carolina Smoke BBQ & Catering, 24118 Bothell-Everett Highway, Bothell, is owned and operated by David Hayward, who is originally from South Carolina. Although it has “Carolina” in the name, Hayward’s restaurant doesn’t serve Carolina barbecue. It’s Hayward’s very own style. On the menu you’ll find pulled pork, brisket, ribs, sausages and all kinds of sides. Hayward’s brisket is especially popular. Call 425-949-8672 or go to www.carolinasmoke.com.
