    The best place in Almadies. Cozy, good services, first time having waiters with great smile. Bravo to the team and the owner. I know she is Congolese. when saw the service and the concept, I told to myself, no way this should something from different people not like the restaurants here in Almadies overall...... Nice place . African cuisine, congolese gastronomy, and more with good taste and flavors. After more than 2 years in this country, I can finally say waow for a place for the first time. Felt relieved......... I would say more but will stop. What I experienced here in restos with no and awful services in senegal OMG. this is an unique place. Love it. However, there is no special for smokers. It bothers the non smokers as everywhere people can smoke. A bit disappointing for this

    L'ambiance est intéressante, à mi chemin entre classe et décontractée. Les prix sont excessifs selon moi, mais après on vend aussi la vue et le confort, et à ce niveau il n'y a rien redire.

    Cadre agréable et cosy, très bon cocktail. Un peu onéreux

    The restaurant offers a warm and welcoming ambiance, perfect for relaxing or socializing. The accessibility of the place is a plus just be careful with the limited parking spaces. The dishes offered are tasty and well presented, with a good experience. However, local juices lack freshness and variety, which could be improved to provide a better selection for customers. In addition, the pressed one needs to be reviewed, because it does not seem to be up to the task, a little diluted 😅. In summary, this restaurant-bar is to be recommended. It's a friendly place with good food, but could just improve the selection of non-alcoholic drinks.

    This is the worst restaurant I have ever been to. 2h30 to serve a dish when we are hungry and make no commercial gesture to compensate for this scandal. I came alone and the table next to me and I had waited so long that we started talking on our own. When the dishes arrived no waiter was able to explain what they served (previously what we had chosen). In the end I ate sweet potatoes for 19,000xof, it’s serious.

    Critical : Yoka Lounge at La Pointe des Almadies, Dakar, is not just a restaurant; it's an experience. The welcoming staff, enchanting ambiance and delicious African fusion cuisine are complemented by the haunting melodies of live jazz and authentic Senegalese and Congolese bands on certain evenings. The addition of live music elevates the dining experience, creating an atmosphere that resonates with the vibrant rhythms of Africa. It's a perfect blend of culinary delights and soulful melodies that adds an extra layer of magic to your evening. The reasonable prices make it even more appealing, allowing you to enjoy a fantastic evening without worrying about the bill. Yoka Lounge has truly mastered the art of offering a complete sensory experience, making it a must-visit place in Dakar. Whether you are a jazz lover or simply looking for a unique and delicious evening, Yoka Lounge is the ideal place. Highly recommended for those seeking not just a meal, but an unforgettable journey of taste and sound.

    L'endroit est sympathique. Le personnel est accueillant. Mon amie et moi avons passé un bon moment. Je recommande les accras, le velouté et l'émincé de porc (la sauce est délicieuse).

😠 If you want good food this is not the place to be in Dakar, If you are a customer and you tell them something is wrong with the food they do nothing to make you happy. If you have no other choice but to go there then save your money and go some or any place other than this trap. 3 or 4 managers jus...
