We had never experienced Senegalese food before and honestly had no idea what to expect. Every single course of the seven-course tasting menu was wonderful bold, beautifully layered flavors that felt completely unlike anything we've had before. The way Chef Mbaye weaves West African tradition with local Louisiana ingredients is something truly special, and you can feel the love and intention behind every dish. The service was warm, attentive and genuinely passionate about what they're doing. This is a team that cares deeply about the experience they're creating and it shows. The one thing I'd tell first-timers: clear your evening. This is not a 90-minute dinner. Budget your time accordingly and go in without anywhere to be afterward. When you do, it's a remarkable meal. We will absolutely be back. read more

Dakar... wow great job Chef/Owner and Team. This was a fantastic experience. I came here for my birthday and of course this is a kitchen type restaurant and it has a lot of culture and culinary traditions that might be close to home in NOLA. This restaurant does not shy away from spices and seasoning so if you too scared of spicy and flavorful delicious food might need to rethink life, because this place feels like life and ancestry. The ambiance for the evening was nice and set with low lighting feels like I am in grandmas house with mask decorating the walls and lighting and sculptures that make this place feel elegant with the dark painted walls. This place is a 10 in my books and that's out of 5 . Definitely a place for a date night and celebrations. If you go, just remember this Review and thank me later! read more

Dakar did not disappoint!!! I've tried to visit a few times but couldn't get a reservation but finally got in...and I'm glad I did. The experience was amazing. Additionally I was able to meet the Chef and kitchen staff and every person working there was absolutely pleasant. You can tell everyone from the host to the owner is committed to a curated guest experience and I think they pull it off well. Note: I was initially concerned about the community aspect of my table, but it is a great addition to the experience. And when talking to the chef, the reason behind this addition makes the experience that much better. Finally, the food was amazing. I would have liked maybe one additional course, but no dish disappointed. This place is doing amazing things and I look forward to the growth they are planning in the near future! read more

We enjoyed learning more about Senegalese culture and food, as well as the convivial atmosphere of the communal seating. The service was OK but if wine pairings are offered, it's good to have someone with more knowledge of the wine doing the pouring. Favorite dishes were the shrimp, oyster, and the lobster add-on. read more

Dakar - Dessert with spiced Senegalese coffee, coconut dulce de leche and Valrhona chocolate. - Senegalese Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Went to last Tuesday and left kind of annoyed, honestly. I went in excited because of all the hype and the James Beard buzz and the price. I figured it would be one of those meals where you walk out blown away and stuffed and already planning your next visit. Instead I walked out still hungry and mostly wondering what I just paid for. It's a tasting menu, which sounds great on paper, but everything came out so small that it never really felt like I was eating a full course of anything. Just a few bites, then it's gone, then on to the next. Over and over. At some point it stops feeling refined and starts feeling skimpy. A couple moments were genuinely good and showed real skill, but then there were long stretches where I was just like... that's it? It felt padded, like they were trying to make it feel longer and fancier instead of making every part actually hit. For $165 a person before tax and tip, closer to $200 all in, I expected to be impressed the whole way through or at least full by the end. I got neither. Nice service and a pleasant room, sure, but vibes don't make up for leaving dinner still thinking about grabbing food after. There were a few highlights, but not enough to justify the cost. If only a couple parts are memorable and the rest are just fine, that's not a $200 experience. Not terrible, just not worth it. Feels like you're paying for the reputation more than the food. I'd rather spend that money somewhere that actually makes me feel taken care of and satisfied. read more

Dakar - Senegalese Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Visited again to celebrate my mom's birthday and again I was not disappointed. There was a birthday card waiting for her on the table and they sent her home with a gift of chocolate. We opted for the earlier seating which was atypically light with lots of empty tables but service did not suffer. 4:30 is quite early for dinner on a weeknight but 8 is bit too late some nights. The food again remained consistent in quality in flavors. The butter served with the bread is so good, just the right amount of sweet and spicy. I really enjoyed the jollof rice and the snapper with the pepper sauce. Is it pricey? YES! Is it worth it? YES! Will I be back yet again? Yes! Cheaper than a flight to Dakar read more

When I was vetting this place for dinner, I saw a few bad reviews and took them as "they must not be used to a pre-fixed menu," or I'd disregard them because they gave Burger King a 5. But I would like to apologize to those people because this place is extremely mediocre and overpriced. I've been doing pre-fixed menus at potential Michelin or Michelin-attained spots for a few years now. I do not mind paying whatever the cost may be if the art and flavors are there, but here they are not. Restaurant manager/owner, if you are reading this and think that I am biased or have some overthought about me mentioning "Michelin" to negate my opinion, that is fine. However, this is the one example that can be somewhat universally used to let you know that I have some experience with respected restaurants. Let's get it going. The bread they bring as a starter could be mistaken for boxed-mix bread. The presentation says otherwise, but really, the Dollar General clearance section likely has better options. Additionally, I informed them that I could not have shrimp due to allergies, and they really had the audacity to replace it with a vegetable dish that my mother would force me to eat as a kid. The only standouts were the cassava-based plate and their main entree, a snapper. The former was great in presentation, flavor profile, and uniqueness. The snapper was good, but not worthy of a grand finale at a place that lets you trust them with a pre-fixed menu. The drinks scream, "We want them to be good, but our beverage director can only take us this far." They are very underwhelming. The dessert was a small scoop of sorbet over a day-old tasting "cookie." What? Their service is robotically good, and their atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. If you have dining experience in major cities like LA, SF, Chicago, or NY, do not invest time or money here. I'd even put people watching over some fried chicken at Brother's Food Mart over this. read more

Bathrooms were filthy. Food was quite good, but not worth the price. I'm easily willing to pay a high price for a meal, but the ambiance is basic and I will say the service is impeccable. read more

So it kind of pains me not to give this place 5 stars but it just wasn't it for me, maybe I'll try another time. So the service was nice, staff was friendly and I enjoyed the story that went along with the food. Food was just ok. They could also definitely improve the bar but at least there was one, the bartender just needs a little work. The ambiance is nice, it's a little dark inside though. It's worth trying at least once but it's not one of my favs in the city. read more

Stunning experience. Highlights of the meal were the lobster and caviar (which was an optional add on), and the shrimp and grits, which were delicious and completely free of butter or dairy! This restaurant is the only one of its kind in New Orleans, featuring an ode to Senegalese cuisine. Chef Seringue made his rounds and was super charismatic and fun while imparting knowledge about each of the dishes. If you can get a rez at this very hot spot, it's definitely worth a visit! read more

Such an amazing experience. Located in the garden district, an area I would refer to as restaurant row on Magazine Street, this little restaurant makes a big splash. A modern vibe with an African decor makes for a really cozy spot. This restaurant is a reservation required stop. We had reservations and even with them there was a little bit of a hiccup, but the team welcomed us and provided a prime spot to watch all the action. I just love the fact that a community seating option is available if you are on your own or just feel like you want to get to know some new people. The welcome experience includes a traditional handwashing over a basin and an explanation of African / Senegalese practices. The only option is the chef's tasting menu which provides for seven courses (changes, seasonally) of the most different and wonderful food experience I've enjoyed in a long time. Starters include a warm tea with mint foam and breadsticks all for a Taste Of what yet to come. The fusion dishes were amazing. Loved the heat in some of the dishes and the jellies offered to add more if you were up for it! Dakar NOLA's tasting menu is inspired by Chef Serigne Mbaye's mother. Chef Serigne earned his stripes with a great deal of experience , including the famed Commanders Palace (think Emeril Lagasse,Paul Prudhomme, and a number of other great chefs) Recognized as one of the best new restaurants of 2024 by the James Beard organization, this restaurant did not disappoint. We chose the non-alcohol route and were pleased to find a number of wonderful drinks that were offered by their mixologist. The chef's tasting menu might be a little bit more than you typically spend on dinner, but it's definitely worth the once in a lifetime treat! read more

After receiving the 2024 James Beard Award for Best New Restaurant, Best New Restaurant in Esquire, and much national press, we had to try them out. We were fortunate to get a reservation in the slow tourist time in January. So reserve early. Two seatings - 4 PM and 8 PM. So it is a seasonal seven-course pescatarian tasting menu that features rich, bold and aromatic flavors of Senegal and NOLA. The only additions are cocktails and the "wine" pairing. First, a great space. EXCELLENT service. We will not describe the dishes - see the attached pics of some - and as the menu changes regularly. But many dishes will be "different" but tasty and extremely well presented. It was fabulous and memorable. One of us did the pairing ($100) and amazingly it was worth it (many such pairings are small pours, inexpensive wines or spirits, and sometimes they don't "pair." One of the dishes used a Madeira! So go. Enjoy. Dress is dressy casual. Damages with tip, cocktails, 2 tastings, and a wine pairing was $600. read more

While I will acknowledge that I found the price tag to be a bit high - both in advance of and after having the meal - I am a bit surprised to see a little variety in assessments of the actual food. It was phenomenal and one of the more unique tastings I've ever had, which added to the experience. I don't generally like to give away too much in a Yelp review about the actual food and tasting itself, but I will definitely say we had a fantastic time trying things of old and new, alongside the stories and chef + waiter connections that were made and told about the dishes. The chef also came out for one of the dishes to explain something more personally, and I thought that was a nice added touch! On the whole, you will feel like you overpaid, but when the experience is solid, you really aren't. Go for the experience, skip the cocktails (ours were just so-so), and enjoy each bite! read more

We came here for my wife's birthday as she was super excited about eating here. Not being able to see the menu online and not really having a sense of what was served here, I was skeptical, but my wife was right. This was probably the best meal I've had this year. The meal started with a tea service. I don't drink tea. Don't like tea. But I actually enjoyed the mint and ginger green tea starter. I was a refreshing palate cleanser and start to the meal. Every bite that followed was flavorful and well-balanced. Dakar is about exploring the African roots (specifically Senegal) of some southern dishes, and what struck me was that a lot of the flavors that I was tasting were new to me. And that was the real treat about eating here was discovering new flavors done excellently. My favorites were the okra, crab, and palm oil soup with palm bread and spiced butter, the Jën (gulf fish in yassa sauce), and the Thiakry pie for dessert. The Thiakry pie was so decadent and just an absolute flavor bomb to end the evening on. While you're there, definitely don't skip on getting drinks. The cocktail selections were incredible. What really stood out for me was the Carver's Impact. In the spirit of exploring new flavors, a mescal drink with suya spice and chili oil was just something you won't find at many other cocktail joints but they hit it out of the park with that one. Dakar looks like they built it out of a large, older house, and the decor and ambiance were perfect. The service was top-notch as to be expected with a reastaurant with as many accolades as Dakar has received. The head chef took time out to guide everyone through the meal and they story behind the food we were eating and the restaurant. Every little touch was perfect, and Dakar is a place that any serious foodie should consider checking out if they're going to be in New Orleans. read more

Given it's a tasting menu, this can be a special occasion dinner but the atmosphere is relaxed. No white tablecloth and staff was dressed relaxed. I was wearing a long skirt and sweater. My husband a button down shirt w slacks and nice sneakers. They did have a little stool for my purse though (fancy!) so perhaps one should avoid baseball caps, flip flops, and cut off jeans. Service was excellent. Every single dish was perfection and the chef came out to speak with the entire restaurant to explain his restaurant and his food. He touched every table in the room, asking about his guests' favorite dishes. I felt immensely satiated after this meal (though I was the hog who finished the rest of the jollof rice--the rice and sauces were irresistible!). Most of the tables are family style so we were sat with four strangers and shared some of the larger plates which was fun. I did see one couple seated at a table by themselves though, so perhaps that's an option if you prefer. When guests come to visit (who want a special dining experience) this will be a place I would love to bring them to! read more

Loved the history and heart that goes into each dish. The hot tea at the beginning was such a nice teaser and warm hug to start the meal. Definitely a meal for a special occasion, but would recommend to others and make my way back, to try the seasonal changes and new food items.

I've been to many fine restaurants around the world in New York, Paris and Cape Town. DakarNOLA ranks among the best. Chef Mbaye is a master.

We greatly enjoyed our after-dinner chat with Chef Mbaye when he went around to greet all his diners. A perfect ending to a perfect meal. read more

Dakar NOLA - A $1300 Disappointment Four of us dined at Dakar. The bill? $1300. Only one of us had the wine pairing. And sadly, the most memorable part of the experience wasn't the food -- it was the complete lack of professionalism, the harsh ambience, and the jaw-droppingly bad way we were treated at the end of the night. Let's start with the reservation process: It was a nightmare. I called multiple times -- no one answered. I was told texting was the best option. I texted. No reply. I tried again. And again. And again. Five texts, two calls, one email, one online submission -- zero response. That's over 10 attempts. Not once did anyone acknowledge me. This would be unacceptable at any restaurant, let alone one charging $300+ per person. The ambience? Borderline insulting. The dining room is flooded with unfiltered halogen light -- like eating in a strip mall buffet. The space is sparse and loud, with zero warmth or atmosphere. No linens, just bare wood tables. The bathroom doors have hollow $5 twist handles -- you know, the kind you'd find in a gas station. There's no separation between the outside street and the dining room. It's as if no one designing this place considered guest comfort or experience. The food? Tasty but forgettable. Not bad -- but not special. Nothing transcendent. Nothing worth $1300. Portions were tiny, and there wasn't a single dish that stopped us in our tracks. Worse, the staff consistently reduced Senegalese cuisine to comparisons like: * "This rice is basically like jambalaya." * "That's just a hot dog." * "Basically crawfish étouffée." This felt lazy and dismissive. Senegalese food deserves better than being repeatedly described as southern comfort food -- especially at this price point. To their credit: The service during the meal was attentive. The staff wiped tables between courses, folded napkins, and answered wine and cocktail questions with confidence. It's what you'd expect at this level. But the hospitality ended there. At exactly 10:30 PM, the lights snapped on full-blast. Staff began stacking tables and mopping the floor while we were still seated. We asked the maître d' if this was a mistake. He replied, "The night is over. It's time to leave." After spending $1300, we were literally being swept out the door under fluorescent lighting. It was appalling. My wife called it offensive, and she's right. It felt like they'd taken our money and couldn't wait to push us out. Bottom line: * The food is fine, but not worth the hype or the price. * The ambience is cold and amiture. * The service before and after your meal is shockingly bad. * If you're paying this much, you should feel respected -- not ignored and then rushed out like an inconvenience. I gave them 2 stars because of the good service WHILE IN the building. Do not recommend. read more

Lots of hype surrounding this self described "modern Senegalese tasting menu restaurant". They've recently win some big awards. The place is very very good... great... excellent even... but it didn't blow me away. Excellent, attentive service... creative cocktails... delicious food... but it's not in my top 20 meals of all time. Probably top 21-40. $150 tasting menu plus $100 wine pairing. Kinda worth it. Maybe it will wow you more than it did for me. read more

Impeccable is the only way to describe this experience. The food, the service, and the ambiance were all top notch. This place is so deserving of any and all awards. Each course seemed better than the last. The wine pairings were spot on. The service was outstanding. It was precise but relaxed and comfortable. The explanation of every dish and each wine pairing kept you engaged and wanting to dive in. We appreciated each story and how it related back to the culture. It is a very expensive experience but I look forward to doing it again! read more

This is a must do for any foodie! A friend recommended this place to me and I knew I had to come. I was a little hesitant about an almost $200/person pay upfront reservation, but trust me it's worth every cent. The space is cozy and has a casual but well appointed dining space. I was dining alone and was seated at a community table. I have yet in my life to ever meet a stranger so this was totally fine with me. My companions were visiting from Italy, Australia, and Bolivia. They were equally excited about the experience. The first course is a traditional ginger tea with green tea foam. According to the Chef, the tea is traditionally served at the end of the meal. It is considered an honor to be invited to stay for tea by your hosts. The meal unfolded course by course. Each dish was beautifully prepared and executed. The team introduced each course explaining the ingredients and any history behind dish itself. Prior to the main course, Chef came out to formally welcome us to their home. He explained the history behind his cooking and his concept for Dakar. This was a phenomenal experience for me. I am passionate about Creole and Cajun cuisine. Senegalese food was a new experience for me and I'm disappointed it took me this long to experience this. Of course, they have set very high expectations for any West African or Senegalese food I have in the future. Just a note, I have chosen not to write about the dishes themselves and just on my incredible experience. The menu rotates frequently and I would hate to inadvertently recommend something that won't be served when you visit. read more

WOW!! Truly the most delectable meal during my recent visit. In fact, I've been craving Dakar since returning home. The service is 5-star and I loved the communal dining set-up. Each course was accompanied with a detailed description provided by the staff. Chef Serigne was serving food, interacting with guest, and engaged my +1 and I in conversation throughout the night. His storytelling was the cherry on top. Everything was thoughtfully plated and the complexity of flavors (pescatarian menu) danced upon my taste buds. The menu rotates, so I'll definitely return. A perfect blend of Nola and his Senegalese culture + cuisine. There's a wine tasting add-on, an a full menu for cocktails and wine by the glass + bottles. Run, don't walk, to secure your seating. More than worth the $$$. read more

What an amazing experience! Everything was absolutely perfect from the food to the staff to the ambience. Even the temperature of the hand washing water the attendant brought to our table was perfect. Each dish tasted wonderful and was thoughtfully explained to us. All of the flavors meshed exquisitely and I would suggested going with the wine pairing because it's clear that a lot of care went into choosing wines that worked with and brought out both the flavors in the food and the wine. Also, each individual dish isn't a ton of food but by the time we got to the find dish and then dessert we were completely satiated without being overly stuffed. The staff were all friendly, explained everything, and answered and questions we had. And the decor is interesting and tastefully done. Check out the mask room if you get the chance. It is a fixed menu and they have the whole experience planned out. Just go with an open mind and welcome all of the sensations -- especially the tastes. There is not a single thing I would change about the whole experience, and I will be recommending Dakar to everyone when they visit New Orleans. read more

This was a very interesting and excellent experience. So the restaurant only takes at most. I'm gonna say about 15 people in the restaurant at a time because it is a course experience.

If you want a true fine dining experience, you have to go to Dakar. First, I love that the dining room is set up for the exact number of people with reservations and you don't see empty tables on the floor. The welcome hand washing was a nice touch to start the evening. I cannot express the attention to detail by all of the service people. But never once did I feel I was being rushed, crowded, or even watched. The chef made his way around the room, even assisting with the food service at some tables. Ok, for the food. Absolutely stunning. Each course beautifully executed. Complex and layered flavors that complemented each subsequent course. I am in awe with Dakar. I cannot wait to go back and share with extraordinary experience with people I love. read more

A very strong showing from a popular restaurant, which doesn't always end up being the case. We had a large group separated into two tables with some strangers joining in the communal table-style dining room, which ended up being a fun experience. The chef was super nice and came out to answer questions throughout the meal, making the ambiance relaxed and fun. The food itself was great, with a few standouts (my personal favorites were the gulf shrimp and the dessert).

This place was the most memorable meal of our New Orleans Trip. I've dined at quite a few Michelin-starred restaurants and this place takes a lot of the lessons of some of the best. The chef starts the meal welcoming everyone over to a family dinner and afterwards you get to wash your hands table-side as a waiter pours warm water in a basin. The chef tells you his story and the story of the dishes and ingredients. Being from Senegal, he had to source, create, and adapt ingredients to bring the authentic flavors of his home country and fuse them with local Louisana dishes. This gives you a greater appreciation for the food and you end up having a cultural experience and not just a meal. The staff are excellent and small details like having multiple servers present the food to the table all at once always makes a good impression. We did have to sit with strangers at our table but they were delightful added to our whole experience. I won't comment on the menu really since it rotates but I will say everything was thoughtfully-plated and superbly-cooked. In every dish, there were interesting textural elements, savory elements, and acidic elements such that everything was balanced and fun. The food itself was seldomly spicy but always aromatic and complex. Almost every dish will leave you wanting more and we repeatedly kept saying we would've been happy with just a whole plate of this one dish, except the next dish would come out and you'd want a whole plate of that one. In the end, we were quite full and satisfied. One of our friends got the wine pairing as well and thoroughly enjoyed it while I had a dakari cocktail which was citrusy and delicious. Overall I would highly recommend giving this place a try, even if you have to go a little out of your way to do so. This place could easily compete with some of the best restaurants on the coasts and in the mid-west/south especially stands out. read more

Bravo! I was finally able to try this place. A group of us did the 3 courses on Wednesdays. We wanted to test the waters a bit before diving into the 7 courses. Service was excellent!
