Senegalese food in New Orleans?!? Yes please! I ordered from here on Ubereats so I can't speak to…read morethe location but the food arrived quickly. It was fresh and the flavors were reminiscent of the yassa I had when I was in Senegal. I will say the the plate was filled with white rice and the rice to sauce ratio was way off. I needed way more sauce for the amount of rice given. Despite that I would order again. When I initially went to place my order they had thieboudienne (my favorite Senegalise dish) as an option but when I added it to my cart it said not available and I haven't seen it since so I'm hoping praying and begging to have it added back to the menu.

Mmmhmmm. Yep! That's it; that's the review…read more Honestly, all the previous reviews are right--this is a hidden gem. It's a little off the beaten (touristy) path, though in close proximity to the path. Soooo more of yall should find your way over here!! I ate so good.

First time trying food from Gambia and Cameroon, and Bennachin absolutely blew me away…read more We ordered the Bennachin (African jambalaya/jollof rice) with sautéed spinach and got it spicy--super flavorful, comforting, and very reasonably priced. We also had the Naouki-Ngond (Egusi Soup) with beef, garlic, ginger, and spinach in a rich ground melon seed sauce, with fufu on the side. The flavors were bold but balanced, and everything tasted fresh and homemade. On top of the amazing food, the service was outstanding. Our waiter, Mason, was incredibly kind and gave us great advice on things to do while we were visiting, which made the experience feel even more special. Highly recommend Bennachin if you're curious about Gambian and Cameroonian cuisine or just want a delicious, cozy meal.

My boyfriend and I were able to get a same day reservation for the 8:45 pm seating. I had heard…read moreamazing things and was excited to try the food. Everything was outstanding. I cannot emphasize how professional and courteous the small staff was. I'll first say if you have a later seating, street parking will likely be available. The establishment is hidden but beautiful on the inside. I don't think I got to take in the decor enough but from what I saw, it was very classy and full of West African artwork. The handwashing experience was also unique and I loved it. Now to the food. From beginning to end, everything was fantastic, not like anything I've ever tasted. I don't want to give everything away but it was truly that good. I did the wine pairing as well and everything was very tasty. My boyfriend had the mocktail pairing, which I didn't know was an option and they were tasty and different as well. I can't forget the presentation. Each dish was unique and looked to be handmade. Okay back to the food. The habanero butter for the bread was a surprise. It paired so well with the sweetness of the bread. The crudo was also lovely on a yam tart. Who does that?? Dakar does!! Unique and delicious. The grilled shrimp and mushroom were cooked to perfection. I honestly ate everything, even the black eyed peas which I usually do not. We also added the lobster which was delicious as well. The start of the show for me was the entree. The fish had a crispy skin that was just, amazing and the jollof rice. I cannot praise this rice enough. It was smoky, crunchy, tasty, just the perfect blend of spices. Absolutely fantastic. I want everyone I know to eat here. Such a beautiful experience.

I LOVED it!! From the moment you step in from the ambiance to the service, Dakar is a vibe. Every…read moreplate was my favorite until the next one.

It includes yellow split peas, lentils, beets, collards, and cabbage with carrots and green lentils. They were all good but my favorite was the lentils by far, and then the split peas. I'd go back for just those two. The sambusas, however, were my favorite of the whole meal. Delightful. Crisp, golden, with a nice tangy sauce. Since you will be eating with your hands using their delicious injera, they provide a hand-washing station in a discreet corner. A clever idea. Our server was nice. Would gladly go back.

Five solid stars! Ethiopian cuisine is best enjoyed family style. My wife and I each ordered an entree (hers was fish based; mine was chicken), and each of our entrees came with tasty sides. And, of course, the injera bread that is part of any Ethiopian meal. We ended up with enough food to make two tasty dinners out of our meal, with the reheated dishes being just as tasty. The service was polite and prompt, and we especially enjoyed the sign that said, "when you support a small local business, you support a big dream." So true!

I always get the same thing when I go, but next time I will have to venture out because the food it was just so good when I I first started with the crabcakes, I will say the crabcakes did not come as I expected, but they were still very good. I was expecting more of a flatter crabcake, but because they were fried, it still held up to my expectation then the salad came out and the salad was very good. I also ordered a lemon berry martini and it was very good. Also, I love the sugar rim on the glass. And finally, I ordered the grilled catfish with the crawfish, cornbread and mashed potatoes and green beans and it was amazing. Our waiter always recommends the crawfish cornbread with the grilled fish, and it was literally the best thing that I've gotten. The service was amazing. Our waiter was very patient with us and took the time to explain any questions that we had. I will say when I went to the Grapevine this time it was a little darker in there than normal, which was a little concerning because I could not see the menu as well as I normally can so being that it was dark it was kinda hard to read the menu and eat our food too . For dessert I decided to get the white chocolate bread pudding and it was so hot and good. It was fresh. It was good. It wasn't too sweet it was just right overall I give this place a 10 out of 10. I will definitely be back sooner than I think.
