I lived in Dakar for a while and this was amazing, very familiar taste. Food was amazing, friendly service, highly recommend checking this place out! The Thiebou Yapp slaps and it is what I would recommend.

We stopped in for dinner. OMG! What amazing flavor! The lamb was tender flavorful and very delicious. I had the rice with it. My wife had the fried fish. Huge portion, fried so beautifully and crisp. The seasoning was exceptional and the plantains were caramelized and tasty. They have tables to dine-in but it seems most patrons pick up thier meal. They don’t have descriptions on the menu but will answer questions. We looked at thier menu ahead of time online and researched the descriptions online. They are so nice there. We will return here soon.

I’m first generation born American, but my parents are from Guinea/ Cote D’ivore. Not to mention I was born and raised in New York City so I am no stranger to what good African food taste like and you can trust my opinion.
They understood the assignment. I ordered “Dibi poulet” with a side of Attieké then I came home and fried my own plantain.
10/10 I highly recommend this place.

Very good, trust me. You won’t be disappointed! I ordered the chicken which came with a mix of onion, peppers and some sort of sauce on the side. I also had a side of attieke and plantains. My order came to $20. The food was very fresh and cooked to order. Very friendly staff! I will return to try the fish next.

My first time eating here. I will definitely be back. Beef Fataya are delicious, meat seasoned just right. Fufu with the Okra soup, scrumptious. I got full really quick. Young lady who took my order was very nice and professional.

I recently ordered from this restaurant over the phone and decided to pick up my meal in person. Unfortunately, my experience was extremely disappointing and frankly, quite frustrating. When I arrived, I found that the “Maafe” or “Peanut Sauce” bucket I received was only half full—despite what I expected based on previous experiences at other restaurants.
The menu clearly states that these buckets are supposed to be filled generously with sauce, especially for dishes like Maafe, which rely heavily on sauce for flavor and authenticity. Instead, I was handed a container that was noticeably lacking in volume. It felt like a bait-and-switch, as if they were trying to cut corners or scam customers by giving them less than what they paid for.
This kind of dishonesty is unacceptable. It’s not just about the quantity; it’s about the integrity of the restaurant and respect for customers. The quality of the food itself was also subpar—lacking flavor, and the sauce was thin and oily , not the rich, hearty peanut sauce I was expecting.
Overall, this experience left a sour taste, and I strongly advise anyone considering this place to think twice. There are many other restaurants that serve authentic, generous portions with honesty and professionalism. Don’t waste your money here—you’re likely to be disappointed just like I was. Brothers and sisters, Avoid at all costs!
