"The Westchase restaurant Dakar Street Food seamlessly combines Senegalese and Caribbean cuisine, and our favorite dish on the Caribbean portion of the menu is the braised oxtails, which come loaded in a dark gravy and carmelized onions. While we normally recommend getting with white rice, the couscous at Dakar Street Food absorbs plenty of flavor from the oxtails and does a fabulous job playing the supporting role. And with a side of sweet plantain added to the party, this oxtail dish feels familiar, but with a little twist." - gianni greene

I've reviewed this place before but Google wants me to review it again...I guess New Year New review??? Anyways, I enjoy coming here, the food is delicious. Great seasoning, they need to make it a little spicier. The service has been much better since I was there my first time. I ordered the mixed dibi with lamb and chicken and couscous, oxtail and the fish dish. I put $50-$100 because I ordered a bunch to go. I think for 3 meals, I spent close to $60. Good portion size

I took my family to try some Senegalese food here and it was an amazing experience. The staff was very hospitable and they could tell that my family was unsure what to order. They helped us pick things off of the menu, let us try some of their juices, everything that we ate was delicious. my sister-in-law has a allergy to dairy and gluten and she was still able to try everyone’s food and really enjoyed the experience I don’t like spicy food and neither does my brother but the only thing that had a little kick to it was the jerk chicken and honestly it was so delicious I didn’t even mind the little bit of spice that it had.

I was staying at a hotel nearby and for ten days and wanted something different to eat. I found this place which was walking distance and decided to try it out. I LOVED IT. The staff were amazing and helped me choose a mixed grill dish (I think it was called a mixed Dibi). They suggested the ginger drink or the Bissap, and since I was feeling adventurous I went with the bissap, made from hibiscus flowers. It was all great. The grilled dish was a mix of lamb and chicken and while I generally prefer lamb over the chicken, then chicken was outstanding. So today I went back for lunch. The things I wanted were not ready yet (they are prepared fresh) so I chose the Poisson Braise to go, which I knew to be some kind of fish dish. It took some time to prepare as it was done fresh. When I got back to my hotel to have my lunch I was surprised to find a whole fish grilled with onions and couscous and they were delicious. I had the ginger drink and it did not disappoint either. I wish I didn’t live across the county or this would be a regular spot for me!

The food here is absolutely delicious! This was my first time eating Senegalese food and I will definitely be returning to this restaurant. We got the Paella and the beef and fish empanadas. The rice was delicious, the meats were prepared perfectly and the empanadas were perfectly crispy. Highly recommend.

I've been here three times and every time I enjoy my meal. I've had the oxtail, the fish and the mixed Didi. They have good portion sizes for the price. I bought a lot of food the last time I went, prices are usually between $15-$20+/-..

The atmosphere is so inviting along with the greeting of warm welcome from the staff. The Hibiscus and ginger juice was so good and the food was great too. When back in town I will most definitely be coming back by for my next meal in the city. I highly recommend giving this place a try.

11/15/24 My first time coming here today after I've had this restaurant saved in my Google (want to go places) for a long time. I happened to be in the area with a friend. I love the cleanliness of this restaurant, the smell, the organization, the ambiance is definitely laid back. I had the oxtails. The oxtails were very very meaty, it's bones were juicy, the gravy that I put on top of my rice was so delicious, the carrots, potatoes, and my plantains were everything. I enjoyed my dish to the fullest. My friend enjoyed her food as well, it was her first time eating plantains and she enjoyed it so much.. I'm so glad that I found this 💎 gem. I will definitely come back. Thanks for your amazing customer service. I forgot to mention: our food came fast 💨.

Let me start by saying Senegalese people cook from scratch. If you're in a hurry don't come here until you have time to wait and enjoy your food. This restaurant is not fancy nor is it in a high end area. However the food is fit for a King and Queen. We thoroughly enjoyed the food and kindness of the workers. The meats had so much flavor and the traditional Senalgalese drinks we tried were amazing. Get the drink from "The Tree of Life." It's healthy and provides a unique experience. I look forward to eating at Dakar Street food again.

If you're looking for the best meal in Houston, stop what you're doing and head straight to Dakar Street Food. My boyfriend and I visited and were absolutely blown away. We tried the ginger drink and hibiscus drink, and both were perfectly sweet--just the way we like them! For our meal, we ordered the Saturday Special to share, but just two bites in, I knew I wanted my own plate. The special features a whole fish seasoned to absolute perfection, paired with two generous servings of Jollof rice. The rice was bursting with flavor, and the tomato onion sauce on the side took it to the next level--I couldn't get enough of it. I'm still wondering how they got the seasoning so deep inside the fish. Literally every bite was flavorful , not just the exterior of the fish. This place is a 20 out of 10 on flavor. Every bite was pure joy, and I honestly can't imagine anyone not loving this food. It's hands down one of the best meals I've had in Houston. Seriously, don't overthink it, and don't waste time reading more reviews. Just go. No more contemplating; JUST GO! You're welcome in advance!

I would 100% recommend the Dakar Street Food restaurant to anyone interested in trying this amazing cuisine! The staff is super healthful and friendly! Our server recommended the oxtails and the fish. My husband ordered the oxtails and I had the tilapia and couscous. We ordered the beef fataya for our appetizer and everything was AMAZING!! Oh, I cant forget the fresh, refreshing drinks. Another great suggestion was hibiscus bissap and ginger drink! Everything was bursting with flavor and came out hot with a wonderful presentation! The food and service were matched onluly by the beautiful ambience!

Brian H.

Yelp

My friends came here to share appetizers and entrees. The fish empanadas were great and didn't taste too fishy. We had an eggroll-like appetizer, which was good as well. Regarding the entrees, we ordered tilapia, jerk chicken, and mixed dibi (beef and chicken). The portions were good and the food was cheap, but everything had a lot of bones, making food difficult to share and/or eat at times. The jerk chicken was my favorite by far. We also enjoyed the drinks - I had a ginger beverage. The service was pretty good. Regarding the ambiance, the restaurant was fairly spacious, but they played loud music videos or Hallmark movies.

Aaron G.

Yelp

I had almost an hour wait for my food but it was good and hot when it came out so I would probably order ahead next time. Large servings with enough for two people or for leftovers.

Chef T.

Yelp

Fantastic food and customer service! Came here after lunch on a weekday and it's behind a neighborhood filled with apartments. It was empty but the chef/host was very polite and accommodating. I had the Poisson Braise with plantains and it was amazing and freshly cooked. It did take some time but I wasn't in any rush. The fish itself is cooked well, not spicy and the marinade in it was flavorful and robust. It had hints of citrus in it. It's very light and pairs well with the plantains! Even the tartar sauce was stellar and I could tell they used their own pickles to make it. The chef came out and was super social and cordial. He mentioned that he does some of the cooking and asked if it was my first time trying this dish and it was! Really love the fish here and I'd come back soon to try the Jollof rice.

This is my third visit to Dakar Street Food and I can confidently say this is my go-to restaurant for comfort food! Even though I'm not Senegalese, the food from Dakar Street Food feels like my family's own home-cooked meals. Lots of good seasoned food, sauces that pack a flavorful wallop, and generous portions. I definitely recommend the Cepp Yapp Bou Khong that they sell on Thursdays. It comes with a protein (bone-in lamb, beef, or chicken) with well-seasoned jollof rice, stewed vegetables, and a flavorful red colored onion sauce. I personally think it offers a good idea of whether you'll like the restaurant and want to explore the rest of the menu. That and the fish! The Yassa Jen, which is also a Thursday special, is a whole grilled tilapia over white rice and a generous heap of citrus-y onion sauce. Dakar Street Food grills their fish to perfection and their fish is one of the reasons why I keep returning. I didn't think I'll sing praises over tilapia but here I am. If you aren't afraid of fish bones, order the tilapia and dine in so you can enjoy that perfectly crispy and smoky skin. It is chef's kiss.

Dakar Street Food is an unexpected find, introducing me to the vibrant flavors of Senegalese cuisine. It was my first time trying West African dishes too. Their daily specials bring an explosion of savory flavor, with just the right level of spiciness. The portions here are incredibly generous, and the friendly staff is more than happy to guide you through the dishes, which is especially helpful if you're new to Senegalese food like I was. My Dibi Chicken dish was big enough to last me two meals! There is ample parking outside and it's a true hole-in-the-wall find. The interior is clean, but it could use better AC in this Texas heat. Nonetheless, the flavors here are great and I would definitely come back!

Jenna A.

It was my first time here and my first time having Senegalese food. SO DELICIOUS. I can't wait to come back!

Weston L.

Yelp

I was in town for work and looking for some unique food. Dakar Street food did not disappoint!! The Saturday Special (Cepp Jen bou khong) was recommended by the hostess and it was by far the best fish I have ever had. A full tilapia seasoned perfectly and the meat fell right off the bones. The rice and veggies were just as good and round out the meal perfectly. The ginger juice was also amazing! A huge amount of food for the price! I had to bring the extras home. I'll likely be back before heading home at the end of the week.

For a mid Sunday afternoon, I was looking for something full of flavor, different from the usual restaurant fare. Dakar Street Food was the landing spot, and I was glad of it since I love Senegalese did. The fatayas were out of this world. Instead of a spicy tomato sauce for dipping, there were onions. The fatayas already had a spicy kick. The whole grilled fish and plantains were the best. I washed it all down with bissap. The restaurant is in a small strip mall that's not on a street that gets heavy traffic. It looks small from the outside, but it is quite spacious inside. Based on my exposure to Senegalese food in Chicago and in Senegal, they hit the mark. I'm going back next time I'm in Houston.

Monique B.

Yelp

Hands down the best west African food I've ever had. Period. I've been ordering from this place for a few years, not only are their dishes so tasty, but what really gets me coming back is their consistency. There's been times I've called just to thank them, as a foodie you can tell when the chef takes pride in what they prepare and this place always delivers. I've tried many dishes but favs are c'est bon, poisson braise, jerk chicken, fataya, juice boye, hibiscus drink, and ginger drink. My boyfriend wants to try the food now because I can't stop raving about it each time I order from there (lol), he may not be foodie like me but I like that he's open to broadening his pallet. Next time, we will definitely eat there.

Best Senegalese food in Houston. Argue wit ya mudda. The talipia and jollof on Fridays are the best and packed with flavor. Come here if you want to have a taste of explosion. The ambiance, seating, and atmosphere all set the tone for the wonderful dining experience you're bound to have. If I have to rate it I'd give it a 10/10 for taste, dining, and vibes.

Rashan D.

Yelp

The Senegalese food at Dakar is amazing. West African food in general is some of my favorite food along with Puerto Rican and Dominican food. It's very filling, reasonably priced, and flavorful. The flavor is like someone is making this food in their kitchen at home and you can't beat that. My favorite dish from Dakar is the "Cepp Yapp bou khong" which has Jolof rice with vegetables, beef, and spicy onion sauce. I always add side of plantains to it and in Ramadan they offer dates to break your fast with. The food is Halal as well which is a huge plus for me. Keep in mind that certain dishes are only offered on certain days so check the menu or call ahead of time to make sure. I always get the Cepp Yall Bou Khong with beef but next time I will try it with lamb. I love the combination of vegetables they include with this dish. I hear their Jerk Chicken is great as well. Some people love it so much it's all they order but because of that they miss out on the other great dishes. The service is great, the people who work here are some of the nicest and the restaurant has a mom and pop feel. I highly recommend Dakar.

We had a lovely Easter lunch at Dakar and were very pleased with everything. First of all, the place is well appointed and very clean. We were greeted by a very friendly server, who took care of our orders, and was very attentive and outgoing. We had a couple of appetizers to share and then we got the Dibi chicken and the paella. The flavors were superb, the sauces that accompanied them were interesting and tasty, and the portions were very generous. There were four of us, and we had plenty left to take home. this was my first time to taste Senegalese food, and I found it very delicious and I'm anxious to return and try other menu items. I encourage you to try as well as places that are this well run and make such a strong attempt to keep the customer happy should be patronized. you'll discover some new taste you've never had but guarantee you'll want to return for more. We were very pleased with our choice.

Trell L.

Yelp

The food is outstanding here! Made fresh to order every time I've ordered. The flavors are crazy! It was my first time trying the food. The Dakar burger was recommended by my sister. Described as sinful lol, when I was in the mood for a burger I remembered her suggestion & tried this spot, I will say she was on point with the description. It was goodt. The value is hella great for a burger & fries these days. I would recommend! That same night for dinner went back & tried the Jerk chk (it wasn't available for lunch time). One of their regular customers bought me an order of the fataya (empanadas) that be recommended were good.I did say it would be too much food but he said they would be good next day. The chicken Dish was on point, I asked for jerk sauce on the side, my 1st time trying the empanadas were just okay. They were fried tooo hard & a little dried out. The cashier, Awa was amazing. She was so nice. Smiled & was helpful with suggestions. She remembered me it was a cool visit, The restaurant was so clean & their decor is a vibe. Love this spot already. I'm def planning to run it back to do a Mukbang for my YouTube channel. "Rocking Wit Trell" 9 out of 10 for me!

First time trying African food, we got one of their Sunday specials, Paella. I was skeptical about getting it because it had lamb and I was unsure of how gamey it would be. Everything was delicious and flavorful, perfectly seasoned. The young lady behind the counter was very nice she provided great service and recommendations.

Ashley D.

Yelp

I took ONE bite of this and wanted to slap everyone. Slaps of JOY!! Because the chef needs a medal. The fataya was flavorful and delicious. I'm so glad I also ordered the mixed Dibi because both the lamb and chicken were tender and perfectly seasoned. My only regret is not ordering more food. I will be back.

Kamara N.

Yelp

This place is amazing! The food is seasoned to perfection. We got the fried fish and we also got the oxtail plate with jollof and every single thing was so delicious.! I have been craving them since I had it. I will definitely be having to make that 45 minute drive again soon.

Desiree C.

Yelp

If you have never eaten here, you are missing out! The food is by far DELICIOUS, they do NOT skip out on flavor. The flavor is well balanced to perfection. The food is always made with love in every bite. The service is great and the restaurant is consistent. My new favorite Senegalese restaurant, will definitely be back! 100% recommend !

Sawyer S.

Yelp

The server was kind and took the time to make a recommendation, which was the dibi lamb with white rice. It took a while for me to receive my food, but it was well-seasoned when I got it. The bowl of onions served as a tasty compliment to the food, but the lamb was very fatty and bony, with very little meat. When I come to a restaurant, I always expect to have a sizable amount of protein and this unfortunately was not the case. I was still hungry after finishing this dish, so I ordered the mixed fataya. The two fish fataya were disappointingly lacking meat. I'm glad I gave the beef ones a try, because I almost decided not to finish them. The beef ones were very good and full. I've included pictures of each one. In all, not a bad experience, but I didn't get the 5-star Yelp Review quality that I was expecting. Maybe another time!

Located in a nondescript strip mall on Walnut Bend, if one doesn't know what they're looking for, this gem is easily missed. Restaurant is bigger inside than it appears, no frills type of family owned business, very clean and the staff is friendly. Ordered the Fatayas, an empanada Senegalese style, flavorful land full of meat . Also ordered a chicken wrap. Menus says you get 2 wraps when it's actually one cut in 2, and it comes with a side of flavored fries. Only gripe is that the online menu needs to be updated for I REALLY wanted to try their "giant fish tacos" only to be learn it was no longer in the menu . The portions were generous. I don't care for the tomato dipping sauce that comes with the fatayas, other than that, it's all golden. If I'm in the area, I will definitely return. Run and go experience the delights Sénégal has to offer.

Bob L.

Yelp

Out of all the African Restaurants I've tried in the country hands down this one is the best. I knew about them for a while but just recently tried their food and I'm hooked. Been going pretty much every day since. The only restaurant that took me back home with their flavors. I usually order ahead, it takes about 20 minutes for the food to be ready which is not bad. Service is very nice and helpful, very welcoming and so is the Ambiance. Absolutely Amazing Restaurant

Hannah L.

Yelp

First time trying Senegalese/Caribbean food was a great experience with friendly staff and delicious food! The restaurant seems small on the outside, but there is plenty of space inside. It's located in a small strip mall and there is a small parking lot that it shares with other businesses, but we had no trouble finding a spot. I went for lunch on a Wednesday and there was no one dining in, so we were able to sit anywhere we wanted without waiting. There was a mix of booth and table seating. No outdoor seating. Lots of TVs inside. The staff was very friendly, and she helped us a lot with making choices. This was our first time trying Senegalese food, so we were glad she was so willing to explain the food and give recommendations. The menu is in English with good descriptions. They also have pictures of the food shown on a TV screen. The food was very good. We especially loved the rice, ginger drink (spicy and sweet!), and fish fataya (Senegalese-style empanadas.) The presentation was neat and appealing. Note that they do have daily specials!

Selina L.

Yelp

If you've never tried west African food before, I highly recommend you come here for your first taste. The young man at the register was so kind, welcoming, and helpful. He went through the entire menu with us and explained all the dishes, offering suggestions and recommendations. The beef fetaya (empanada) and nem (spring roll) appetizers were delicious, the beef filling had a very unique spiced flavor. We also got a bunch of entrees and the portions are huge. The Dakar oxtails were big and juicy, chicken dibi and cep yapp was very tender and well cooked. The mafe is a yummy saucey peanuty meat stew served over rice, and I wish I grew up with this as I can't think of a better after-school snack or quick meal as a student. We tried three juices (Bissap, ginger, and bouye) and they were all perfect and refreshing. I will absolutely be back here the next time I'm in Houston!

Was in town for Juneteenth activities with friends and we wanted to find somewhere with good traditional African food. Dakar definitely OVER delivered on their food and service. It was 7 of us and we ordered pretty much one of everything on the menu and we were all satisfied with what we got. Left full and happy. The chef even brought us out an extra fish to try. New go-to spot when in the city

Curteisha J.

Yelp

When I tell you everything good. The portion sizes are prefect and the service is excellent. Highly recommended if you are in the WestChase area. The Nem (egg rolls) are just delicious the rice is so flavorful and the lamb/chicken is barbecued but juicy!!

Lovinda B.

Some of the best food I ever had. The fish with the onion stew and rice was crazy good I had to clean the plate ! Definitely recommend. Good portions good price and great service !

Sara W.

Yelp

Some say food holds the emotions of the chef....but I find that only really good food does. This food does. So much care goes into the flavors, the spices (and not just spice for heat but depths of savory spices), and a smokiness in the oxtail sauce that is THE best sauce I have ever eaten. In fact, you could find yourself happy eating just that sauce on rice if you had only one meal left in the world. But it turns out the meat is expertly cooked as well, tender, juicy, and just the right amount of fat and marrow with the bones that everything is perfectly balanced. We tried the oxtail and lamb lunches and had more than enough food for two hungry people. Tonight I ate the leftovers of the lamb plate and it tastes as good the second time around! The only thing missing eating at home is the friendly faces and the World Cup playing on the big screen TV. Thank you! Can't wait to try more here!!

I tried the mix Dibi plate, the oxtail, and the Nem. The Nem was piping hot and delicious, the Dibi chicken was wonderfully smoky, and the oxtail gravy was very well balanced with great depth of flavor. The portion sizes were generous, and I can't recommend enough.

This place was an amazing fine during my travel to Houston. My wife had the chicken Cepp Yapp bou khong and I had the lamb. We also had Fataya and Nem for appetizers. To wash it all down my wife got a passion fruit lemonade and I got the ginger drink. All the food was truly amazing and wonderful. The young waiter was also very helpful courteous and kind and went out of his way to make sure we were happy. This is a must for us now when we go back to Houston.

Jim M.

Yelp

Wow. We are in town for a convention and found this place on Yelp. The food was wonderful and made to order. I'm not familiar with food from this region but I can tell you I had a whole fried talapia and cuscus with an onion sauce on the side. It was recommended by our server. I am going to find out what it is called because I would definitely order it again. I only gave it 4 stars in case I get to go back and find something even better. Ok, I raised because it really was that good.

Tosin M.

Yelp

Great food. I've tried a few items (Oxtail, Cep Jen and Dibi Chicken) on their menu and, so far, haven't been disappointed. I like the fact that there are accompanying sauces that compliment the flavors of the entrée. An occasional lagniappe (A big carrot or some other marinated root) included is also fanatic. A balanced meal in my opinion. Lastly, and quite important, is the friendly face and great service received during my visits.

K R.

Yelp

My first time trying Senegalese food and omg it was toooo good. my friends and I ordered most the menu . lamb with rice was so good, the appetizers were great. and my friend enjoyed the juices! this is the only good african food ive had in houston. im downtown but its worth the drive plus service was friendly!

It's so authentic. I was almost in tears tasting senegalese food i havent had since my last visit in nearly 10years. The food and drinks are so flavorful. I 100% recommend them and will be back often. If you've never had senegalese food, i highly recommend trying it. it's a mix of french/vietnamese/carribean flavors.

They make the best grilled Lamb and grilled fish you can ever taste :) I am scared they live so close to me because I am about to go bankrupt. I love their food and my friends love it
