Garba

Garba is an Ivorian dish that originated in the popular neighborhoods of Abidjan, such as Treichville, Abobo, and Adjamé, in the late 1980s. It consists of attiéké (cassava couscous) and tuna fish, accompanied by powdered chili. Originally marketed by Nigerians, hence its name "garba," which is a popular surname. The dish has evolved over time and has become an iconic element of Ivorian cuisine, widely consumed and appreciated by Ivorians from all social backgrounds. Today, garba is widely considered an Ivorian dish, although it has diverse influences and origins.
